The article in Good Housekeeping provides essential tips for memory maintenance, explaining how memories are formed and factors that can affect memory retention. It offers advice on sharpening recall, such as focusing on one task at a time and using contextual cues to aid memory retrieval. Additionally, the article discusses memory-zapping health and lifestyle issues, including the impact of medications, depression, diet, sleep, and hearing loss on memory. It also highlights when forgetfulness might be a cause for concern and how trauma can disrupt memories. [Extracted from the article]

22. The role of text in scientific reasoning: Priming misconceptions can facilitatelearning

Author

Masnick, Amy, Weingartner, Kristin, and Cohen, Marisa

Abstract

We examined the role of text in learning to replace science misconceptions. Undergraduates’ beliefs about where acoin falls when dropped by someone walking were assessed. A common misconception is that a coin will fall straight down,but its forward motion actually continues before it hits the ground. 135 students who expressed this misconception read one ofthree passages about the issue. The passages differed in whether the misconception was explicitly stated, only implied, or notmentioned at all. Past research shows that calling a misconception to the foreground helps people overcome the misconception(Broughton & Sinatra, 2010). We found a significant difference across conditions, with 86% of those who saw the explicitmisconception, 72% of those who saw the implicit reference to the misconception, and 59% of those who saw no reference tothe misconception correcting their mistake (2(2, N = 135) = 8.22, p = .016).

Subjects
*LONELINESS, *INFLAMMATORY bowel diseases, *INFLAMMATION, *SJOGREN'S syndrome
Abstract

This article from Good Housekeeping provides information on inflammation, its role in the body, and how it can become chronic. It explains that inflammation is the body's defense system and can be beneficial in healing and fighting infections. However, when inflammation becomes chronic, it can lead to various health issues and is linked to autoimmune diseases. The article also discusses the signs of chronic inflammation and provides information on common factors that may or may not cause inflammation, such as alcohol, loneliness, dairy, smoking, tomatoes, and coffee. Additionally, the article includes personal stories from three women who have experienced inflammatory conditions. The article features personal stories of individuals who have experienced autoimmune illnesses and the challenges they faced in getting a correct diagnosis. The first story discusses a woman who was initially misdiagnosed with seasonal allergies before discovering she had Sjögren's syndrome, a condition that causes dry eyes and mouth. The second story follows a professional dancer who experienced numbness and tingling before being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The article also provides general advice for managing inflammation, including stress relief, dietary changes, exercise, and the use of medication. [Extracted from the article]

35. The Impact of Refutation Texts: Merely Implying a Scientific Misconception Can Facilitate Learning

Author

Weingartner, Kristin M., Masnick, Amy M., and Cohen, Marisa

Abstract

We examined the role of refutation texts in learning to replace science misconceptions. Calling a misconception to the foreground may help people overcome the misconception (Broughton & Sinatra, 2010). To test this claim, we had students who expressed a common misconception in physics read one of three passages about the issue. The passages differed in whether the misconception was explicitly stated, implied, or not mentioned at all. We found that students who had been exposed to the misconception, either explicitly or implicitly, were less likely to express that misconception when they had been questioned about the topic shortly after reading the passage or one week later. These findings have important implications for practices in science education.

49. The Importance of Self-Regulation for College Student Learning

Author

Cohen, Marisa T.

Abstract

The ability to self-regulate is important for students at any level, but is especially valuable to those in college, as they are confronted with a great deal of material in a short span of time. Some studies demonstrate that college students are effective self-regulators, while other studies indicate they are not (Peverly, Brobst, Graham, & Shaw, 2003). Despite this debate, it is clear that there are differences between those who use self-regulatory strategies and those who do not. This paper will discuss the concept of self-regulation, its related constructs, and the ability of college students to self-regulate. Furthermore, it will address self-regulatory skills and ways in which to improve this ability. Strategies will be compared, and educational implications will also be discussed.

50. Improving the Acquisition and Retention of Science Material by Fifth Grade Students through the Use of Imagery Interventions

Author

Cohen, Marisa T. and Johnson, Helen L.

Abstract

This study examined the effect of imagery interventions for the presentation of novel science vocabulary to fifth grade learners. Eighty-nine students from two schools in Long Island participated in this study and were randomly assigned to four different instructional interventions: a Picture Presentation method, in which a word was paired with a picture; an Image Creation--No Picture method, in which the participants were told to create an image of the word and draw it on paper; an Image Creation--Picture method, in which the students were presented with the picture and then told to draw it; and a Word Only method, which involved the simple verbal presentation of the word. Results demonstrated that students in the imagery intervention groups (Picture Presentation, Image Creation--No Picture, and Image Creation--Picture) scored higher on the outcome measures at both immediate and delayed recall. It was also shown that the deeper the students processed the "to be learned" vocabulary words, the higher they scored on the outcome measures. Based on the mean outcome measure scores at both time points, students in the Image Creation--Picture intervention scored the highest, followed by the students in the Image Creation--No Picture intervention, those in the Picture Presentation intervention, and finally the Word Only intervention students. Such a study has implications as to the most effective way to integrate science and literacy and successfully present novel concepts in the classroom.
