   # RKS: MEMORY A VITAL COG IN COGNITION WHEEL RKS / 2025-2026 / Ser 8 / Blog 2 1st November 2025 MEMORY IS LIFE AMNESIA IS LIVING DEAD Dear Reader, The statement "Memory is life" encapsulates the idea that the past experiences and memories are essential to who we are and how we live. They shape the understanding of the world, our sense of self, and even our actions. Without memory, ie. amnesia, one wouldn't have personal histories or the ability to learn and grow.  LEARNING DOMAINS There are essentially 3 learning domains as per Bloom’s taxonomy, which is a framework for classifying educational learning objectives developed by Benjamin Bloom and his colleagues in the 1950s .

  # RKS: MORE ABOUT PERSONALITIES (III) TEMPERAMENTS RKS / 2025-2026 / Ser 7 / Blog 6 1st September 2025 TEMPERAMENT TYPES TEMPERAMENT & PERSONALITY Dear Reader, Temperament refers to an individual's inherent, biological predisposition to respond to the environment, often characterized by specific emotional and behavioral tendencies. Attitude, in contrast, represents a learned evaluation of a specific object, person, or situation, influencing thoughts, feelings and behaviors toward it.

In MBTI theory, the four categories are introversion/extraversion, sensing/intuition, thinking/feeling and judging/perceiving. According to the MBTI, each person is said to have one preferred quality from each category, producing 16 unique personality types. The 16 MBTI types are typically referred to by an abbreviation of four letters - the initial letters of each of their four type preferences (except in the case of intuition, which uses the abbreviation "N" to distinguish it from introversion).  For instance: ENTJ: ext...

NATURALLY Dear Reader, In yesteryears sleep therapy was pharmacologically defined as successful inducing sleep for 20 hours in a day for an extended period, say 2 weeks. But in today's context the same is neither acceptable nor practical. Various drugs are available which claim to mimic the physiological sleep pattern.
