    we know of many myths of the learning, but the common more is the myth of eating you happen pass, it helps us to memorize more rapidly and to retain the imformation, it is true since they are sweet and the sweet stimulates your brain, in addition that to eat a sweet before a test proof also serves for the same reason

    I was searching some myth about the study, and of course i found with the myth of the Raisins(as say susana),but else i found a interesting enough and out of the ordinary,that is the myth of sleep with a tooth of garlic under the pillow, because the garlic takes all the negative and clears your mind for you can remember better the things …, also this one of taking a glass of water with sugar in fasts...so far i don't prove any one of them, but i'll have to see that so real they are..

    A garlic tooth!? haha, that's weird!

    Well, I don't know so many myths
    about learning. I've heard about the raisins (classic :P) but I don't like raisins, so... I can't say so much about it.

    I've eard about studying early in the morning instead of studying at night 'cause that way your mind is cleaner and blah blah blah, but I don't think that's true. Very early in the morning or very late at night, What's the difference!? You're sleepy.

    What else? Eating some candies before a test it's good to relaxing. Maybe...
    All these myths are rather a psychological thing. They'll probably work for people who trust blindly in them.

    I agree with Susi and Pauni regarding the raisins, because I've already heard that the raisins "we all know" help much for the memory, but I do not know that so efficient can be, because in reality to me I do not like the raisins... Stinks!

    But I began to seek other myths and I found the myth of coffe with coca cola, that makes that persons and especially persons who work until afternoon (as college students) not be sleep at night, thus facilitating, at to study.

    Also another myth, is that by eating nuts with honey in fasting, us serves to memory, at like that raisins, but... I do not know that so efficient are, because I never I have eaten.
    But... Will be efficient these myths? I do not know.

    You spend them: they are of big help for the memory, if we eat three before every meal, we will be able to improve notably our concentration and our memory, our labor results will be much better! it is a good method taught by my grandmother, and it is much more effective than any other

    I have heard eating candies, especially chocolate to relax before a test or any situation of stress, maybe because this produces a pleasant sensation, another well known and very mentioned is eat raisins for memory, I don't think that works, anyway I don't like.

    For a good memory and to have a better physical functioning I have listened of That is a very good idea To consume natural medicines, Nourishing supplements.

    Many people believe With many certainty that they give immediate results,but depends of the Organism that consumes it.

    These medicines do not have a scientific base; The medicines have an agreeable flavor and In addition they have an action Compensating of the levels of cholesterol.

    Good, I share very much with the opinions of my companions, but with that more agree it he is with that of natural medicine, since with this one there is not damaged any part of our organism, because if usaramos another type of help for the memory I believe that in certain part us beneficiary but on the other hand not. For example on having eaten chocolates whenever we need to study or something for the style habria a great quantity of obesity and not serious the correct thing. And it he, is in this sense that the natural thing us beneficiary.

    There are many persons who say that to eat raisins it helps to the memory, I say that to eat something sweet, as for example sugar or a simple candy, before producing a test or when we have some another type of tension, this would serve as a type of I relax and to be calmer.

    Responding to the first question, yes, I know a few myths; respect to the second is that I can tell us about the chocolate, is to eat a piece of chocolate before a review to activate the brain, and after reviewing too, can also before a test used to activate what you have learned. That is one of the myths that I know, whether it is true or not, I do not know, it sounds funny but I practice it

    My companions have already mentioned myths like the of eating raisins (typical), sweet, coffee with coca cola, dry fruits, chocolate, vegetables, integral cereals and even natural medicine, and other more psychological, since they don't believe a lot in those methods, like I do not think that really work.

    Everything depends on the person, but if I know a method that I believe that it motivates to study and to make a test,that it is, to smoke a joint (marijuana) before each thing and some people close have told me that it works, but I'd never test it and...

    I wait that neither you!!

    There is the myth of coffee, but it does not work, because instead of staying awake gives me more sleep. There is also the myth of raisins, but I do not like them, so I do not know if it's true. Lastly, I believe that everything is a psychological question...

  25. HighSchoolCeb says:

    for many years, in the society in which we stand is full of myths and customs with which one shares daily.

    They say that it is nice to eat them before the test and before to study Also of eating the chocolate for the nerves and for the concentration, because this one helps to be calm in the test

    They exist more myths, but the more common is eating raisins, since Since it’s said that they are good for the memory.
    Also this one of eating slightly sweet, that can be a piece of chocolate or a candy, because it helps the brain and stimulates it.

    Perhaps it sounds repetitive but the only myths that i know or
    or remembrance are, eat raisin, that have told me that it works and are good for memory,
    and the chocolate relaxes, removes the nerves.

    I don't remember where was I hear that, if a person falls asleep on top of a book,
    could learn better but i but I do not think that this is the case, as?!

    But there are so many things that people invent, perhaps some give result, but no all.
    It is best to prepare well before a test and ready "jajaja" (no se como se rie en inglés xD)

    Some of my companions commented that the happen pass it helps us to memorize more rapidly and to retain the imformation, as said Susy , but I do not like the happen pass, for I believe that is oood To eat Chocolates, because they stimulate the Brain, it is more alarmingly. Also the chocolate is very rich. I do it!!!

    I agree with Hernan if that is really effective early study I have been a result although it is better to study with anticipation but everything is cooler in the morning, the staff did not do much to the disinterest.
    In any case I have heard of other more rare as eating nuts to strengthen the brain and the most common saying that all of the raisins to the memory although I do not think that is very effective, and to finish what they said Paulina Rios of garlic, had never heard it, anyway all these beliefs are popular only in myths in this case without knowing whether they are effective.

    but this is so classic, even though anybody likes raisins! u.u
    I don't know if it works! but I think that not work!

    WELL, I DON'T AGREE WITH NIKOL, BECOUSE COFFE IS NOT FOR CONCENTRATION, IT IS USEFULL TO KEEP AWAKE DURING THE NIGHT, TO HAVE MORE TIME TO STUDY. AND WE HAVE A GOOD MYTH, OR TRADITION IN MY FAMILY, AND IS TO EAT BEANS BEFORE STUDY, TO HAVE MORE CONCENTRATION BUT I DON'T THINK THAT COULD WORK

    As I’ve been told one of the myths related to learning processes is “the earlier one gets up is better for study”. I think that is not true, because intelligence depends on our own and not on the time of the day.

    we know a lot of myths,like study in the morning in order that one does not forget the studied thing, have more memory, and another that Imore fresh and well remember.
    As the cristian said, to improve this way the constant study and not to have to resort to the study in the morning for loose
