Higher Mental Functions of Brain: Learning and Memory01:26

Higher Mental Functions of Brain: Learning and Memory

2.1K
Memory is one of the most vital higher mental functions of the brain. Memory is closely related to learning because it enables us to retain information and experiences from our past to use them in our present life. It also helps us to remember facts, events, and skills, such as riding a bike or swimming. There are two types of memory — declarative memory, which involves memorizing facts or events, and procedural memory, which enables us to remember how to do something like writing or...

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.
Percentiles are a type of fractile that partition data into...

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

Random and Systematic Errors01:20

Random and Systematic Errors

15.4K
Scientists always try their best to record measurements with the utmost accuracy and precision. However, sometimes errors do occur. These errors can be random or systematic. Random errors are observed due to the inconsistency or fluctuation in the measurement process, or variations in the quantity itself that is being measured. Such errors fluctuate from being greater than or less than the true value in repeated measurements. Consider a scientist measuring the length of an earthworm using a...

Systematic Sampling Method01:17

Systematic Sampling Method

13.4K
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
Systematic sampling is one of the simplest methods...

System of Memory01:23

System of Memory

7.5K
Memory is categorized into three major systems: sensory memory, short-term memory (STM), and long-term memory (LTM). These systems differ in their capacity and the duration for which they can hold information. Sensory memory captures raw sensory input from the environment, holding it for just a few seconds or less. For example, on hearing a brief, loud sound, like a car horn honking, the sound seems to linger in the mind for a moment even after it stops. This is an instance of sensory memory...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

This systematic review found limited evidence that resistance exercise benefits episodic memory function. More research is needed to understand the relationship between strength training and memory.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Exercise Physiology
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Aerobic exercise is linked to improved episodic memory.
  • Resistance exercise offers numerous health benefits but its impact on memory is less understood.
  • Existing research on resistance exercise and memory is limited and recent.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review studies examining the association between resistance exercise and episodic memory function.
  • To assess the current evidence base for resistance exercise's effects on memory.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search of PubMed, PsychInfo, and Sports Discuss.
  • Inclusion of studies with experimental, cross-sectional, or prospective designs.
  • Focus on studies where resistance exercise was the independent variable and episodic memory was the outcome.

Main Results:

  • Eight studies met inclusion criteria, with seven published in the last five years.
  • Only three studies showed a positive effect of resistance exercise on memory function.
  • These positive findings were accompanied by indications of null or unfavorable effects within the same studies.

Conclusions:

  • Current evidence does not strongly support a beneficial effect of resistance exercise on episodic memory.
  • Further research is necessary to explore this under-investigated area.
  • The relationship between resistance exercise and cognitive function, particularly memory, requires more investigation.
