Dedicated to brain and memory improvement, Smartkit and its Student Guidebook, recommend students stay away from all-nighters and deploy more effective study techniques.
Boynton Beach, FL December 7, 2006 — www.smart-kit.com
— Smartkit, led by board certified neurologist Dr. R.L. Kaplan, is
offering study tips to help students studying for finals improve scores
with less study time and without painful all-nighters.
Kaplan explains that brain function significantly decreases after an
all-nighter, especially memory systems and frontal lobe regions.
Frontal lobe regions are especially important because this region plays a crucial role in the following:
-Oral Presentations
-Essay Tests on literature, history, social sciences and art
-Exams
in math, physics, chemistry or economics where students are asked not
only to recall information, but to apply it to new situations and
problems
According to the research journal Occupational Environmental
Medicine, "Moderate sleep deprivation produces impairment in cognitive
and motor performance equivalent to that of legally prescribed levels
of alcohol intoxication."
Smartkit developed its Student Guidebook to help improve memory and
brain functions by implementing healthy techniques into daily life.
Students can benefit from advice offered within the guidebook including how to improve test scores and decrease study time by:
-Avoiding Information Decay - It is important to review newly-learned
material hours after first exposure, not weeks later. 40-70% of what
you learn today will be forgotten by tomorrow without review.
-Eating Brain Food - Brain structure and function is markedly affected
by what you eat. Feed your brain vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals
and stimulate your brain instead of merely sustaining it.
-Take a Nap - As the day wears on, mental fatigue sets in. Stop and
recharge your batteries. A nap as short as 10 minutes has been shown to
improve alertness and cognitive performance.
-Increase the neurochemicals of concentration - Before you sit down to
study, a short burst of aerobic exercise increases brain catecholamine
levels which in turn boost ability to concentrate and focus. These are
the same brain chemicals that Ritalin-like stimulants work on.
"High test scores can be achieved with less study time, without
all-nighters and without large doses of caffeine, all of which impact
brain functioning," said Dr. R.L. Kaplan. "The Smartkit - Student
Guidebook was created to help students improve memory and test scores
by incorporating easy and healthy habits into daily routines."
