Stress management interventions have been shown to be effective adjuncts for the management of medical disorders, and for the prevention and management of occupational stress. Despite their usefulness, it is not completely understood how behavioral stress management techniques exert their effects. Benson (1975) proposed that all relaxation techniques elicit a general "relaxation response." Davidson and Schwartz (1976) suggested that stress management techniques have specific effects A compromise position suggests that the specific effects of relaxation techniques are superimposed upon a general relaxation response (Lehrer AND Woolfolk, 1993). The cognitive behavioral model of relaxation suggests that relaxation is achieved through hierarchical cognitive and behavioral factors (Smith, 1988), but has not been adequately evaluated experimentally (Lehrer AND Woolfolk, 1993). The present experiment examined relaxation within a framework of the cognitive-behavioral model. Sixty-seven normal volunteers were exposed to a stress manipulation and then to one of two relaxation (Progressive Muscle Relaxation, Music) or control conditions (Attention Control, Silence). Measurements of attention, relaxation, and stress responses were obtained during each phase of the experiment. All four groups exhibited similar performance on behavioral measures of attention that suggested a reduction in physiological arousal following their relaxation or control condition, as well as decreased heart rate. Progressive Relaxation resulted in the greatest effects on behavioral and self-report measures of relaxation. The Music condition resulted in the lowest biological measures of stress (i.e., heart rate and cortisol responses).

The idea of one's memory "filling up" is a humorous misconception of how memory in general is thought to work; it actually has no capacity limit. However, the idea of a "full brain" makes more sense with reference to working memory, which is the limited amount of information a person can hold temporarily in an especially accessible form for use in the completion of almost any challenging cognitive task. This groundbreaking book explains the evidence supporting Cowan's theoretical proposal about working memory capacity, and compares it to competing perspectives. Cognitive psychologists profoundly disagree on how working memory is limited: whether by the number of units that can be retained (and, if so, what kind of units and how many), the types of interfering material, the time that has elapsed, some combination of these mechanisms, or none of them. The book assesses these hypotheses and examines explanations of why capacity limits occur, including vivid biological, cognitive, and evolutionary accounts. The book concludes with a discussion of the practical importance of capacity limits in daily life. This 10th anniversary Classic Edition will continue to be accessible to a wide range of readers and serve as an invaluable reference for all memory researchers.

The brain gives us human potential - to learn, to dream, to achieve and grow. It is perhaps the most powerful and yet the most delicate organ in the body. For many years it was assumed that brain cells could not grow past early childhood and would automatically degenerate as we reached our senior years. But recent scientific research has broken the bondage and fatalism of such beliefs and demonstrated ways in which the brain can be trained, enhanced and kept agile and alert every day of our lives to empower whatever we do. Brain enhancement is the process of developing innate abilities that allow retention of memory. When memory is retained, a person functions better in society, at work and at home. The brain is an organ that produces thoughts and feelings, the anatomy that controls the centre of the nervous system and vertebrae. It not only enhances a person's intellectual abilities, but also controls heart rate, body temperature and blood pressure among other things. In order to enhance the brain, it is essential to improve the Central Nervous System (CNS), the spinal column and one's overall health. This little book offers new ways of thinking and appreciating what you can do for your brain so that the brain in turn helps you to achieve a better life.
