The Effect Of Test Stress On Memory Integration

Memory integration refers to the integration of two(or more)independent but related memory segments to achieve the self generation of new knowledge,which is another important way to expand semantic memory knowledge in addition to induction,deduction and analogical reasoning.Examination pressure is a kind of feeling that students' requirements for examination environment exceed their own coping ability.According to the interference theory,the stress situation will cause people to have some thoughts unrelated to the task,such as causing tension and fear,which will damage the individual's attention and working memory ability,thus leading to the decline of task performance.Previous studies only explored the effect of stress on memory integration,but the impact of stress on memory integration has not been explored,so we will explore the impact of stress on memory integration in this study.First of all,according to previous studies,test pressure is widespread,even primary school students are not immune.As a result,the subjects of this study were selected as the sixth grade students of primary school.This group is now in the stage of primary school,they have certain examination pressure,and they feel more intense than other grades of primary school students.In addition,memory integration is a cognitive process composed of five steps: encoding,activating,integrating,selecting information related to specific task needs or problems,and integrating to generate new information.Therefore,in the process of integration,we need to first learn the main fact 1,then learn the main fact 2,then keep it and extract it when necessary.Therefore,it is necessary to explore the influence of test stress on memory integration.In addition,most of the previous researches on memory integration were carried out in the laboratory,and for most students,learning knowledge is more likely to occur in the classroom situation,so it is necessary to set the experimental situation in the classroom that is more close to the actual life,and further enrich the research in the field of memory integration.This study will be carried out in the following two steps:Study one explored the differences of memory integration under different test stress situations.A single factor inter subject experiment design was used.The test stress situation(high,medium and low)was used as the independent variable,and the accuracy of memory integration was used as the dependent variable.The second study explored the effect of test stress on memory integration in different integration stages.3(pressure level: high,medium and low)×3(integration stage: pre study,trunk room,test)subjects room design was adopted.The two independent variables are stress level and integration stage,and the dependent variable is the accuracy of memory integration.The main conclusions of this study are as follows:First,sixth grade students can complete memory integration under high test pressure,middle test pressure and low test pressure.Second,the sixth grade students' memory integration performance under medium pressure is better than that under high pressure and low pressure conditions.Examination pressure is an important factor affecting memory integration.Middle school examination stress is the best level to promote memory integration.Third,no matter what stage of memory integration,no matter what kind of pressure,sixth grade students can complete memory integration.Fourth,The sixth grade students got the best performance in memory integration under the pressure of middle school examination before study.
