| Excerpt from ¡°Experiment on the effect
of the learning program of MC Square¡± 1994 (Prof.
In-Jae, Lim and 3 others from Institute of Education
Research at Seoul National University) |
 |
| |
Studying something was traditionally believed
to be prompted by ¡°repeated practices and
concentration¡±. It was proven by the experiment
on the effect of memory advancement by W.
James and by the experiment on the effect
of memorization by Ebbinghaus. Also it focuses
on ¡°repetition and practice¡± in functionalism
and behaviorism the 5 laws of learning by
Thorndike and ¡°meaning acquisition through
insight ¡± in behaviorism. |

Efforts to explain, Brain
psychological dimension continue to
gradually increase. The first attempt
at this research began with D.O. Hebb
as he tried to explain phenomenons related
to activities of cerebral cortex. (Hergenhahn,1988,
pp338-423). Hebb insisted that intelligence
and perception were learned through
experience and not from birth as those
researchers, believing in innateness,
had thought. According to him, people
are born with a randomly interconnected
neuropil and in the course of a person¡¯s
lifetime these sense experiences can
be organized and interact effectively
with outer experiences. Hebb separated
learning into two parts (childhood |
| and adulthood)
and tried to explain this with the concept
of cellular aggregateness and aspects
order. Cellular aggregateness and aspect
order (continual activities of provisionally
interconnected celluar aggregateness)
is well formed with diverse stimulations
in the childhood period, then in the
adulthood period by recompositioning
the aspect order a more creative and
cognitive learning can be achieved.
In his theory, learning at childhood
becomes the framework for later learning.
Therefore, it is very important to have
an abundance of experiences at an earlier
age. |

Relation between stimulation
level and cognitive function is to be
explained in a way of RAS Arousal theory
Hergenhahn, 1988, pp401-402). RAS (reticular
activation system) is located between
above spinal cord and below hypothalamus
size of a finger and is related to sleeping,
concern, and emotional behaviors. Next,
arousal or arousing function along with
cue fuction is 2 major functions of
neural impulse and means that through
collateral produced in sense passageway
from spinal cord to RAS (hypothalamus)
sense impulse increases RAS activities.
Consequently, activation of RAS is an
index of arousing function so vigorous
activities represent high |
| level of
arousing function.It is important for
RAS to reach proper level of arousing
function in order to maximize guide
of cue function of stimulation in the
relation between arousing level and
execution. If arousing level is too
low, then sense information cannot be
used; in contrast, if it is too high,
too much information is analyzed in
cortex, which will occur complication
and strange behaviors. Therefore, for
the most suitable cortex fuction it
is important to have proper level of
arousal. |

LPT stimulates certain
parts of the brain to expand or to increase
the activities of cerebrum such as memory,
learning ability, or creativity, stability.
In detail, disposition exists in the
central nervous system to store information
and it shifts the efficiency of synapse,
which means that by strengthening the
connections of synapse, the memory ability
can be enhanced. The amount of learning
is related to the quantity of changes
of synapse within activated neuropil.
It represents the relation between learning
and LPT.
The strength of memory while acquiring
information (memory) and long after
this time depends on the quantity of
synapse changes in
|
| the pertinent
neuropil. It represents the relation
between olivion and a weakened LPT.
Therefore, it becomes obvious that there
is a correlation between LPT and forming
memory. |
