Physical Exercise is essential for Learning Memory in Children

Exercise makes so fit and energetic, recently it found that children who make exercise on daily basis are more confident. Exercising can improve learning and memory in children.

According to a new study exercising is particularly true when the learning on a task is more challenging.

The latest study involved 48 children between the ages of nine and 10. The kids were asked to memorize names and locations on a fake map. The children learned by either studying or being tested on the material as they studied.

Researchers said that half of the children were in the top 30 percent of their age group on a test measuring aerobic fitness, while the other half scored the lowest 30 percent.

The findings revealed that children who were fitter performed better than those who were not as fit.

Researchers also found that the difference between the high-fitness and low-fitness groups was also more apparent when the initial learning was performed by studying alone than when testing and study were interspersed.

Previous research suggested that mixing testing and study improves later recall in children, and is less challenging than studying alone.

The study suggest that fitness levels may influence learning differently when the study method used is more challenging, and that higher levels of aerobic fitness can benefit learning and memory in school-age children.

“Future research should focus on the manner in which these factors impact the neural processes of children during learning,” researchers wrote.

“Reducing or eliminating physical education in schools, as is often done in tight financial times, may not be the best way to ensure educational success among our young people,” they added.

Tips for Doing Internet Research

As there is usually far more information available than you require, you need to make choices about what to read and how best to use it.

Consider  

•       Your purpose 

                    What do you intend to do with each piece of information?

                     Do you really need it?

                     Can you do without it?

•       What you already have

                   Brainstorm your knowledge of the subject  before you start your research, or make                    a list of the keywords you already know on the subject.   

•       Whether it is the best source 

                   Check to see if the source is reliable , up to date, written by experts in the field, and                      relevant to your needs.

•      Whether it is the best example    

              As you find more information, the latest information may be better  than what you                     have already collected. Keep evaluating which material is the most up to date and                         which is the best for your purposes.

•     How much you need 

                 Usually word limits are strict. Generally, you should't write more than a few lines or                   a paragraph on any one example. Bear this in mind when you take notes so that you                    do not record more than you need. this will save you a lot of time.
