Pay Attention! Understanding the Neurobiology of Attention

As an important first step in learning and memory, the teacher strongly urges students to "pay attention". But what did you notice? In the previous issue, I studied long-term reinforcement and memory. Working memory accepts, stores and manipulates information about our inner and outer world. Ignore irrelevant competition input and focus on important inputs. Related information in working memory forms the basis of decision making and behavior (Knudsen, 2007). In addition, attention is important for adjusting mood and behavior.

Gene and environment prompt attention. By animal experiments, two alleles of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene important for memory were identified. Animals in the allele group did not perform well in learning and memory tests. Brain imaging reveals significant differences between the two groups of hippocampus, an important area for memory and retrieval (Posner et al., 2012). Give training (environmental impact)

Attention is a psychological process that selectively focuses mental energy on specific events, work, or things. At the neurobiological level, attention is synchronized with the rhythmic activity of a group of neurons. Understanding the basics of neurobiology is important and the overall neurobiological function of our brain can affect the attention process in a number of ways. Like other chemically dependent parts of our bodies, our prefrontal cortex with the most active part of the brain during the caution process may run out of its resources (neurotransmitters).

Introduction: Most people have heard about disease of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a person's ability to interfere with the ability of an individual to pay attention to an issue (attention deficit), to suppress human behavior (impulsive), and to adjust the activity level of a person (Buckley 19) The most important work for teachers and parents is to separate ... Female Grace's ADHD is a second grade She sat quietly, her hand was folded in front of her and watching television, she saw Dan Bo and remembered the luxurious elephant above her bed.The girlfriend My brother reminds me that she won her for her in a carnival she got on a pony to eat cotton candy. After a couple of minutes, Grace does not know what's going on around him or in cartoons Because her idea has no time to actually wander, she is a heart We are not arranging Grace is a very polite little friend

Whenever we read the story and want to know if she is worried, with my daughter I ask her a question in a different place and finally she knows what's going on I am worried about whether or not. She knows exactly what she remembered when she likes this story and when she distracts if she is bored. This has happened to all of us. So, when I think about the conversation I will do in 2016, I am very pleased to practice and improve my listening skills. I will test myself after the conversation so as not to forget the important points. Usually it is a pen and paper. I will ring the phone to confirm what I'm really asking - we all know that you know that you can not multitask.
