Long-term success is based on leveraging and maximizing things you can control. Like effort. Perseverance. Surprisingly (at least to some), being nice. But most important, leveraging and maximizing ...

Parts of the brain are "rewired" when people learn computer programming, according to new research. Scientists watched university students’ brains as they learned to code. The team used functional ...

Since no one ever does anything worthwhile on their own, who you know is important. But what you know — and what you do with what you know — is crucial. Learning, memory, and cognitive skills are a ...

As researchers try to build more complex computers that get closer to emulating the way the human brain works, one of the areas of focus is memory. Existing chips, hard disks and tape drives are great ...

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

In a classic experiment in the field of cognitive psychology conducted by Godden and Baddeley in 1975 [1], 18 divers learned lists of words either on dry land or underwater. The researchers found that ...

Facts and ideas can be mapped in ways that show how they relate to each other. The map drawing usually begins with outlined notes, because few people can think fast enough to construct a map in ...
