How do you think about Long-term Memory?

-
1.      Types of knowledge stored in long term memory
            Long term memory (LTM) is a more permanent, apparently limitless store, containing all our knowledge of the world and memories of the past. Information can be difficult to retrieve from long term storage – retrieval cues need to closely match the way the memory was encoded into LTM.
The kind of memory involved in these situations is long-term memory, information that is acquired in the course of an experience and that persists so that it can be retrieved long after the experience is past. As we will see, some forms of long-term memory can be consciously retrieved, so that we can use our remembrance of things past to guide present thought and action. William James (1890) described this kind of memory as “the knowledge of a former state of mind after it has once dropped from consciousness.” By contrast, other forms of long-term memory influence our present thinking and behavior while operating outside awareness. In such instances, past experience unconsciously affects the present. Progress in understanding longterm memory has come from behavioral investigations of people with intact memories as well as of patients with memory deficits. Insights into the operation of memory also have come from lesion and recording studies in animals and neuroimaging studies in humans.
The characteristics of long-term memory are: 
1.     LTM stores all the information we process  but are not immediately using. Storage of information is believed to be permanent.
2.     Forgetting is the inability to retrieve or locate information, rather than the loss of  information.
3.     Information enters the LTM from the WM  and must be classified, organized, connected and stored with information  already in LTM if you want to retrieve it easily later. It takes time and effort to  move information into the LTM.
4.     Prior knowledge plays an important role in  learning. The more information you know before going in to lecture the easier it is to  take notes and understand.
5.     To keep knowledge fresh and accessible,  means you have to have a good processing system in place.
6.     You should be continually updating and revising your mental ‘filing closet’.

Matematika di India

Perkembangan matematika di India tergolong sangat pesat. Bisa dikatakan setara dengan perkembangan matematika di Babylonia, China, maupun Yunani. Perkembangan di India bermula dari munculnya bangsa Harappan yang memasuki India melalui Sungai Indus pada 3000 tahun SM. Pada masa ini tidak ditemukan bukti nyata mengenai adanya perkembangan matematika di dalamnya. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah para brahmana menyampaikan ilmu mereka secara lisan, tanpa adanya bukti tertulis. Hingga pada akhirnya ditemukan ayat ayat karangan yang disebut Vedas. Vedas paling tua di perkirakan dibuat pada 600 tahun SM.  Tidak diketahui dengan jelas apakah semua matematikawan di India dapat berkomunikasi satu sama lain. Pada kenyataannya hampir seluruh matematikawan di India juga mengembangkan ilmu Astronomi. Dua matematikawan yang mengembangkan matematika bersama ilmu astronomi yaitu Aryabhata dan Brahmagupta. Aryabhata dikenal sebagai matematikawan tertua yang diketahui, menulis Aryabhatiya, di Bihar, In...

Matematika sebagai Ilmu Deduktif

MATHEMATICS AS A DEDUCTIVE SCIENCE In process of mathematics must be deductive not be inductive. Although in helping the beginner learners of mathematics is often required some examples to make them understand about the subject. When looking for the truth of the mathematics, it is contrast to seek the truth from the other sciences. For example, in natural science. The methods that are used to prove the truth of mathematics is a deductive science, so it can be concluded that the mathematics is not obtained by conducting experiments. In several occasions, to seek the truth of mathematics can be started by inductive but for the next step the truth must be proven deductively. The mathematics theormscan not be accepted before proving it deductively. For example : The sum of two odd numbers is an even number. + 1 3 5 -7 9 1 3 5 -7 9 2 4 6 -6 10 4 6 8 -4 12 6 8 10 -2 ...
