The Art Of Failure By Malcolm Gladwell

In "The Art of Failure" Article; Malcolm Gladwell, the author, discussed that there are differences between panicking and choking (Gladwell, 2000). The author also considers that both panicking and choking is as bad as giving up and that they are also seen as failures (Gladwell, 2000). Choking is to be overwhelmed and under pressure. In fact, choking is a sense of overthinking. In contrast to choking, panicking is having that feeling of being underestimated and unfocused.
In the article, Gladwell included Daniel Willingham, “a psychologist at the University of Virginia” that explained how our brains and memory works. Memory in a psychologist's perspective is the ability to accumulate and bring back knowledge (Schacter, Gilbert, Wegner, & Nock., 2015). In the article, Daniel …show more content…
We even have different types of models that illustrate how our memory functions such as the Multi Store Model of Memory. The Multi Store Model of Memory was created in 1968 by Atkinson and Shiffrin (McLeod, 2007). How it works is information moves from store and back again in a Straight line (McLeod, 2007). Then information is distinguished by the sense organs and arrive in the sensory memory but if present the information arrives in the short-term memory (McLeod, 2007). After that it is carried to the long-term memory only if repetitive. If message is not repeated and not occurred, the message is abandoned. Soon short-term memory decays (McLeod, 2007). There are also many brain training programs available to us that can improve our memory. One of the training programs is called Lumosity. This program was based on train of thought, color matching and memory matrix meaning that people who play these games must balance out more than one progress. These games can be sometimes challenging if not use to the type of material, yet it can help improve memory if doing it
