How the Brain works !!
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.-Einstein
There are two modes of thinking :
- Diffused mode
- Focussed mode
typically speaking focused mode is mostly, when you are extensively concentrated like , when you are playing something and there is something inside to win that match . Or doing a exam , when you are recalling what you have learned . But one thing is while giving your exam , it all depends in what state your brain is . If you have not slept for more than 24 hrs at a stretch , scientifically the space in between neurons are quite preoccupied . Sleep Relaxes your mind and there is a flow of blood that relieves you from stress . You must have seen few of your friends don't take bath during exams and scored higher as compared to others is because scientifically , you are more concentrated towards , your subject and shower ,if you have taken dint watch the working memory . If you are studying only during exams but nit as a regular student . you tend to develop short term memory. Instead of Long term memory . while Giving exams your short term memory gets activated an you tend to write and recall more if you have slept for at least 8 hours before exam and din;t take bath .whatever you read and learn goes into your brain and it keeps forming analogies inside the neurons . unless you repeat the same thing , i mean unless you read the same topic again . this time it will form and associate more analogies and and if you do that work sequentially over a period of time this event work will move into long term memory with more analogies attached . Its always good to reapt and practice in a week instead of reading and cramming things 15 times in a day . it will be added to your short term memory as compared to long term memory . Best is revise and practice .
Other important aspect i observed is you tend to observe more things when you mind switched from Diffused mode to focused mode . Asking question , usually stimulates blood flow and changes the state of your mind from diffused to focused , thereby converting short term memory t long term memory . you often remember you asked questions in a concept class delivered by your professor instead of the concept taught . This is because of the reason cited , If you have recalled an practiced that concept manier times spread over a period of time , you would have recalled with the question . If you practice the above approach your memory will surely increase.
