plasticity which allows new cells production in the brain consequently creating a learning mechanism. Although there are several possibilities in which the brain is capable to retain information from; synaptic plasticity to functional compensatory processing, neurogenesis is the foundation of all memory. Neurological Plasticity & Neurogenesis Neuroplasticity mainly focuses on the adaptation of the brain to environmental change or stimuli. According to Knaepen et al (2010) the…

Skill acquisition varies with every athlete, thus meaning their learning requirements are different and depicted by their stage of learning. For an athlete to successfully perform this discrete skill, it is fundamental the output…

listening to music can also improve our memory (Dowling & Tillman, 2013). Before music is stored in our memory, it must be processed and categorized in order for us to recall it later. There seems to be a specialized music module that helps us processing the music.
