What are the signalling neurons called that occur when electrically charged particles move across a neuron's membrane?
They are called "ions". Neurons communicate with each other through electrical signalling.
How did scientists choose to measure the action potentials cells of individual cells?
What is the output of the EEG method?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What is the negative peak for EEG?
What is the positive peak for EEG?
the child throw the toys on the floor
but also structures that are correct but unusual
the witness examined by the lawyer turned out to unreliable
thought to reflect/updating repair of existing mental structure
Also, it does not have to be language specific.
What are the strenghts of EEG?
- we need this because language processing is fast and occurs at small timescales
no overt response required (similar for fMRI): participants can read or listen to stimuli or less as normal, without having to press buttons, verbalize their thoughts and so on
What are the limitations of EEG?
- experiments require many trials of the same/similar stimuli to achieve a clear signal: the waveforms from single trials look almost random
What is dichotic listening, that is used for lateralization of language function?
What parts of language processing are performed by the right hemisphere?
(e.g. stella went riding her bike. The next day she was covered in bruises)
processing non-literal meaning (e.g. a warm person, my job is a jail)
processing the paralinguistic meaning of prosody (emotion, emphasis, sarcasm, etc.)
What does the declarative memory: ventral stream regulate?
- knowledge about ‘what’
- important for accessing word meanings
What does the procedural memory: dorsary stream regulate?
- knowledge about ‘how’
- important for processing sounds, articulation, word repetition.
From what do people with amusia suffer from?
Do people who have aphasia or other language disorders also have trouble with making sense out of music?
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
