It's Not How Your Classroom Looks, It's About How It Feels Last week, before the arrival of Ida and Oskar, I was able to sneak in some work time in my new room. As I stood there trying to envision what the room would look like, I realized that it didn’t much matter for two reasons. One; what it looks like empty is vastly different from when it is filled with 20+ 5th graders. Which way does your desk face? What is on your bulletin boards? I used to be the master of fancy bulletin boards and I was very obsessive over my border and letter placement. How much space does your teacher stuff take up? Is every space yours or is it open for student use? What do people see from the hallway? When people walk by what do they see? What is the movement flow like? Can students move or will they constantly have to ask someone else to push their chair out of the way? Do they need permission? My first year I was very obsessed with keeping things in their place.
What I was doing vs. what I did: How verb aspect influences memory and behavior If you want to perform at your peak, you should carefully consider how you discuss your past actions. In a new study in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, psychologists William Hart of the University of Florida and Dolores AlbarracÃn from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign reveal that the way a statement is phrased (and specifically, how the verbs are used), affects our memory of an event being described and may also influence our behavior. In these experiments, a group of volunteers were interrupted prior to finishing a word game and were then asked to describe their behavior using the imperfective (e.g., I was solving word puzzles) or perfective (e.g., I solved word puzzles) aspect. It turns out, the volunteers who had described their behavior using the imperfective aspect were able to recall more specific details of their experience compared to volunteers who had described their behavior in the perfective aspect.

Fatty Foods May Boost Memory April 27, 2009 Feeling forgetful? Munch on a fatty snack. A hormone released during the digestion of certain fats triggers long-term memory formation in rats, a new study says. Researchers found that administering a compound produced in the small intestine called oleoylethanolamide (OEA) to rats improved memory retention during two different tasks. When cell receptors activated by OEA were blocked, the animals' performance decreased. Though the study involved rats, OEA's effects should be similar in other animals, including humans, said study team member Daniele Piomelli, a neuroscientist at the University of California, Irvine. Follow the Fat The team suspects OEA's memory-enhancing activity likely evolved to help animals remember where and when they ate a fatty meal, so they could return to that spot later. (Related: "Memory Aids Birds in Migration, Study Finds".) Fats are crucial for a variety of biological functions and structures. (Explore an interactive brain.)
