Our Brain is ours to improve,
What we may put in today, learned today
Will be an undertaking for the rest of our being,
The being of how we form personality.

10 Ways on how are we
going to take care of
our brain

10. Quit Smoking
 Not smoking is one of the first steps you can take
to improve your brain health. However, smoking
is not just any old bad habit. One Archives of
Internal Medicine study published in 2010
followed 21,123 smokers from 1978 to 2008.

9. Have a Good Relationship
 One particular form of memory that we practice in
relationships of all kinds is known as “transactive”
memory, a concept first developed by psychologist
Daniel Wegner in 1985. This is a form of memory in
which we become an expert in one particular type of
information and often have sole responsibility for it.

8. Think Positive
 There is a well–known effect in the psychology of
education referred to as the “Pygmalion effect”-after the
Greek myth Pygmalion-whereby teachers, often
unknowingly, expect more particular children, who then, in
turn, strive to meet to those expectations. This effect is
well–known that psychologists refer to psychologists as the
Rosenthal–Jacobsen (1968) finding (after two psychologists
who discovered it).

7. Get Quality Sleep
 The brain does not shut off when we are asleep. There is much
work going on while we sleep; much of it involves
consolidating the learning that took place during the day (see
work by Walker, Stickgold, Alsop, Gaab & Schlaug, 2005).
Psychologists have long understood that our dreams, for
example, are the reflection of all the work our brains are
doing. This includes trying to make sense of all the
information we have been taking in but have not yet fully
interpreted and made sense.

6. Eat Well
 There is quite a range of food ingredients that are good for
your brain, as well as no end of marketing experts who will
try to sell you the extracted ingredient in pill form or added
yogurt. However, the truth is that many food components can
increase our mental functioning. Ginkgo Biloba (extracted
from the Ginkgo Tree) has good effects on memory.

5. Meditate
 In recent years, psychologists have become more interested
in some ancient wisdom around mindfulness and
meditation. Some impressive evidence has started to come
in that these practices improve our physical and mental
health. Meditation techniques vary widely, but they all
have some form of focus on breathing and achieving calm.

4. Stay Healthy
 Over the past decades, it has come as a surprise to
psychologists that physical exercise is a sort of miracle
cure or “panacea” for a wide range of physical,
emotional, and intellectual problems. Exercise is free,
and generally, there are no side effects.

GRADE 11
Week 6
The Brain
4. Stay Healthy
 Exercise helps with the growth of new brain cells (neurons) as
well as the cells that connect them (neurogenesis). Exercise
promotes the production of three essential “growth factors,” called
brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF), insulin-like growth
factor (IGN–1), and endothelial growth factor (VEGF). These
factors also minimize inflammation, grow new blood vessels, and
slow down cell self–destruction.

3. Maintain High Levels of Mental
Activity
 The more conversations you have with your child, the more
intelligent they will be. Simple games involving naming
objects and solving little puzzles together, making learning a
social and educational matter, improve a child’s IQ. Talking
to a child increases their vocabulary, which is truly important
for their general intelligence levels. You can raise your
child’s IQ by six points by doing this over a few years when
they are young.

The Brain
3. Maintain High Levels of Mental
Activity
 One of the simplest things you can do to make
your brain sweat is to try to understand points of
view that you do not agree with. Open your mind
and listen to arguments that make no sense to you
and try to find some sense on them.

2. Extend Your Education
 Many countries have early intervention programs to
provide intensive early education to children at risk. They
seem to work for scholastic achievement to some extent
but have not been shown to improve a child’s general
intellectual ability. The main benefit of these programs
seems to be that they provide a productive, stimulating
environment for the child and intensify their educational
experience.
GRADE 11
Week 6
The Brain
1. Do Brain Training
 Psychologists have known for quite some time that
fundamental cognitive skills (for example, the speed at
which you process information) are relatively stable
throughout our life. In other words, while we can often
do more with what we have, it is not easy to improve our
basic cognitive skill levels—at least until recently.

GRADE 11
Week 6
The Brain
1. Do Brain Training
 Brain training usually takes place online or on a handheld
device. It is delivered in the form of entertaining games
designed to stimulate crucial areas of the brain associated
with basic cognitive activity. Practice at these tasks is
theorized by brain-training proponents to lead to real
changes in the cell density of those areas (neurogenesis).

GRADE 11
Week 6
The Brain
Some very high profile research published by
Professor Susan Jaegii and colleagues has led to
a high degree of confidence among
psychologists. A task known as the dual N–back
can indeed raise at least one crucial dimension
of intelligence.

GRADE 11
Week 6
The Brain
Known as fluid intelligence, it significantly and in
the long term (at least several months). Still, work
reported by Cassidy, Roche, and Hayes (2011) in
The Psychological Record reports IQ gains of 13
points or so for children exposed to a behavior-
analytic form of intellectual skills training called
relational skills training.
GRADE 11
Week 6
The Brain
It is true that many specific brain training products
have not stood up to the rigors of scientific
investigation, but that in no way undermines the
principle that psychologists may be on to something
big with brain training.

Week 6
The Brain
It turns out that you can do almost anything,
especially when you are at your comfortable places
to realize your potentials. In doing so, I would like to
share one aspect of developing your own “Personal
Plan” to enhance your brain function.

GRADE 11
Week 6
The Brain
Your own personal plan can start your daily habit
and eventually be part of your personality. How do
you see it? Even our behavioral approach, our
lifestyle defines what we have invested? After all,
you are the caretaker of your body.

Activity
“Developing My Personal Plan”
Instruction:
 you are tasked to make your own simplified “Personal Plan” to improve
your brain functions. You may include a variety of exercises and diet
programs that you think will further develop your brain functions. This
intended “Personal Plan,” must follow the “SMART” protocol in which
every intended activity you make must be simple, measurable,
attainable, practical, and time-bound. Consider the example given. You
may choose any part of the brain to improve. Choose at least 3–5 parts
of the brain.
