EFFECTS OF MULTIMEDIA CONTENTS ON THE BRAIN DURING MEMORY RETENTION AND RECALLING PROCESS

Including multimedia as a part of instruction can significantly enhance student
learning. Therefore, understanding the effects of using multimedia on brain activities
during memory recall can help to build better learning system which reflects
increasing in memory performance for the learners. Few interesting previous studies
investigated the effects of using multimedia subjectively as well as objectively but for
short-term memory only, while long-term memory previous studies used only
subjective measurement. Thus, this research focuses in investigating the effects of
using multimedia on long-term memory using subjective feedback and EEG signals
for objective measurement. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is an important
neuroimaging modality which allows studying the changes in brain neuronal networks
related to cognitive processes.
