This article makes makes me think about other games. It makes me think that can other games also help you get ideas that can also help you have an idea of what to do to prepare for an exam? To me, it is amazing how a game can help you prepare for an exam. If I was ever asked that question, I would have probably said no, but now that I think about it, it is just amazing to me. This article might help me understand that many other things in the world can help people prepare for thing. It might give them ideas about how to do them. This article might help me be able to use other things to help me prepare for other situations.

Kristina, Great Job! I think you are right. When you prepare for an exam, you can go on different games. If you are studying for a test, you can go on a game to study. That makes studying more fun!

Nice Job. I agree with you. What if there was a game that could prepare you for a job or something like that? That would be very amazing if that could happen.

Kristina, Great job! I totally agree that it can help you with preparing yourself to study becuase if you want to learn about something you will learn it and you will be better at it next time. I also think it is amazing that the memories you have from a game can help you prepare for basically anything else.

This makes me think about other games and subjects and test and basically proves to me that if you know about a subject and want to know about the subject and study and think about it you will understand the topic. This article might help me understand how the human brain works and how extraordinary it actually is and how as it stated “These results suggest that long-term memory, specifically familiarity, could boost working memory capacity, another example of it is 'practice makes perfect.” I think this is amazing because things you like and that knowledge can help make your memory capacity even more which I think is awesome.

Nice job! I agree that this article can help you understand more about the brain. I like how you added a quote from the article into your writing. That is good. I also agree how you said that things you like and that knoledge can help make your memory capacity even more. That is a really good statement that you said. Good job!

Nice Job. i agree with you that practice makes perfect and that if you want to know about a subject then you will eventually get it.

This makes me think if studying something before you are tested about it helps you get a good grade every time. It is amazing that the test they did with the game Pokemon worked with people who already knew somethings about that subject. I would have never guessed that it would work. I think that there will be other things that can help people in the future, about other situations not just knowing that you are going to remember things if you study it. The article helps me understand that if you just take your time and actually study it will help you later in life. Just like it did with the people who knew about Pokemon becasue when they tested they knew more then the people who knew nothing to start with. The people who already knew something were able to tell them apart better.

Great Job Elma! This also makes me think about tests because you have to review what you learned and study all of it before you take the test, so you know everything. If you have a hard time on a question, study that question. Good Job!

This makes me think about other games that have been made that can help you with your memory. It makes me think about this because with a game like Pokemon, people who have studied it before have an easy time unlike others. So I think about other things that I know how to do well and see if it can help me with my memory or any exams. I think that for exams it would help to be familiar with testing procedures because then you know how it will be laid out and how you should study for it. I think it really is cool how a game helps people with exams and you never would think it does. I have realized that a lot of things in this world can help you out with other things. I will try to learn the things I know well before I learn the things I don't know as well. This is what this article makes me think about.

This article makes be think about if it is possible to do this with other games like pokemon. I also want to know does this completely unlock this part of the brain or does it only unlock it for only pokemon. If it is unlocked forever then they could become Great people in the future. This could maybe help people with short term memory.

This makes me think about if short-term memory really is bad. Short-term memory could be bad for you because if you have a test, than you would need help with a teacher because you could forget everything you studied. If you have a long-term memory, that would be good for tests and exams because you would know everything. From the video, the person with the short-term memory kept doing things that would not benefit them. That doesn't mean that other people with short-term memory do that. they could be studying really hard but forget everything and need help from a teacher.

Adriana, I get what you are saying about how pokemon and the memory game are like the same thing because you are both memorizing things. I also agree with you that this could help people study for exams because the best way for people to study is to do it threw the things they love and well a lot of people love pokemon. Finally, I agree with you about the video and how people are mistreating people with short term memory. I have one of those test where I studied very hard and I didn't get a good grade because I couldn't remember things so I don't think they should mistreat short- term memory people that way.

This article makes me think about matching games because you have to remember where each card is placed and watch it as it gets mixed around. It makes me think of matching games because in the article participants that know Pokemon, know what some characters are. Then the have to know which one of them is in the first or fifth generation. Matching games are like that because you have to remember what the image on the card is and you have to know where the other pair is at. You can prepare yourself by studying each card and knowing what their characteristics are and looking at a another card to see if it has the same characteristics. When I play a matching game, I have to remember what each card looks like to find a match. Sometimes you can forget and because you looked at all those different cards.

Oh! I guess I really never thought about that! Pokemon is kind of like those matching games. That would be a great way to study for a test!

This makes me think about other games or cards to collect.This makes me think about that because what if other games can help you study. I think collecting cards is good because you memorize what cards you have a what are the animals for. Maybe pokemon can help people that have short term memory loss.

This makes me think about the type of memory and all the cards you could collect. I mean can you imagine how many cards they create?!?! I always see the people with a binder full of pokemon cards and some people actually remember the pokemon cards names and such. I also makes me think of the strategy of when you trade the cards and if you are going to take it the deal or not. Also about memory it reminds me of the game memory.
Reply
Bridgit, I totally agree with you. There are like a million pokemon cards and if people can remember almost all there names or powers, you could almost remember anything if you put your mind to it. The way you were talking about pokemon, reminds me of baseball cards because there are so many of them and people remember what is on the card. I also think you're right about the trading part, the game could help you make good trading decisions if you grow up to be a trading person. Great job on the paragraph!

This article makes me think that if they can use pokemon to help scientist understand more about long term and short term memory, then what other games can help people? Who knows maybe the game " guess who" can help you give a better hypothesis/ guess for an experiment. Maybe the game " sleeping queens" can teach you the best way on how to do math. The possibilities are endless. I wonder what the next game to change the world will be?

This makes me think about how sometimes games can prepare you for tests and help you to remember with pictures and things. This is very interesting to me because I playing a lot of video games myself am surprised that this could help me remember better. It is also surprising that the participants also were able to know the newest pokemon that were just introduced. Also if games like Pokemon can help you what else can help you how about stress balls or exercise. Can they help you in different ways, or do they just help with what we know they do.

I think that makes sense too, it is like quizlet match or gravity. You would want a high score so you would try to memorize information.

This article makes me think that your brain can remember as much information if you try hard enough or if you like that certain topic. I think this because if you like the topic of something you would want to remember it because maybe you having fun or something else.

I this article and the video at the bottom, helps me understand how the brain works. According to the article, some students were able to remember the status of the newer Pokemon easier because they were already more familiar with the older Pokemon. I thought that it was interesting that past knowledge made it easier to learn knew things.

In this article it reminds me about tests and how you should always study. I think that they should always study so they can remember what they learned. That is also going with pokemon, people have been remembering other ones from other generations. This is why people should start studying and remember what they learned so they can be ready to take the test and know what to do.

Kosta, I agree that you have to study earlier, instead of studying on the last day. Similar to my explanation, it made me think on how and when I should study.

This makes me think about how the mind works. I find it interesting that people can take the information that they learned before, and use it to their advantage when the time is needed. As stated in the article, avid Pokemon players that are more familiar with Pokemon characters, tend to know the ones they knew as well as the new generation Pokemon.

This article reminds me that people should study more for exams just like you remember games like pokemon, you have to remember the names of the pokemon, battle moves. That's why people should study so they can remember things just like if they were playing a game or telling someone about a movie.

This article makes me think about other tests that can compare short term memory against long term memory. It also makes me think about how I should study, so that the information will be in my long term memory. Lastly, I thought of a question which is, can short term memory last longer than 30 seconds or so.
