Meaningful Learning and Memory Process

Memory can be described as a performance for keeping experiences from background in mind. In order to provide permanence for knowledge, firstly, the mentioned knowledge should be perceived. Hence, acquiring some impressions can be a matter of discussion in the initial stage. Impressions acquired as a result of perception are kept in mind.
It is suggested that this occurs by means of some changes in neurons and interrelationship among the neurons (synapses) (Baymur, 1994). It is possible that Ausebel has also discussed neurological developments in the memory process. In the neurology, new synapses take a form between neurons accumulated new notions and neurons accumulated existing knowledge. In this manner, qualitative and quantitative changes in the knowledge originate from the meaningful learning (Novak, 1998). In the course of occurring a meaningful learning, neural cells are effective on the accumulating place of the knowledge and realises a functional integration with synapses or new neurons. With the learning, which is continued by means of relating new knowledge to the existed knowledge, scope and appearing neural integrations show an increase (Novak, 1998). Some relationships are established among the nerve cells by its nature. Perceptions are interrelated.
