Abstract

This study investigated the effect of motivation on memory recall among students of SS11A and SS11B of Government Model Secondary School Makurdi. The study employed the use of experimental design of 3x2x1 One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Independent T test with Alpha level of .05 to test the two hypotheses. The study consists of sixty (60) participants with 30 (50%) males and 30 (50%) females. Their ages ranged from 13-20 years with the means of 8.15 (SD=23.41). The participants were grouped into three of high, low and non-motivated students. Each group had (20) participants each totalling sixty (60) in the study. The participants were selected on the basis of gender and evenly distributed through the use of purposive and convenience sampling techniques. Finding from the study indicated that there was significant different in the level of memory recall among the high, low and non-motivated students F (2, 57) =8.98, P<.05. There was no significant different between male and female students on memory recall when motivated (59) =.20 P>.05. Thus, the first hypothesis was confirmed and the null hypothesis was rejected. On the other hand the second hypothesis was rejected and the null hypothesis was accepted. It was therefore recommended that conscious efforts should be made by the parents, Teachers, School Administrators to provide various incentives to enhance students recall abilities in memory task. It was also recommended that the Government and Philanthropists should provide scholarship programme to enhance study memory recall in the Secondary School. Finally, the study recommended that psychologists and the teachers should encourage the student to always rehearse their work in order to improve their memory recall when the need arise.

Abstract

Jatropha gossypiifolia L. (Euphorbiaceae), widely known as “bellyache bush,” is a medicinal plant largely used throughout Africa and America. Several human and veterinary uses in traditional medicine are described for different parts and preparations based on this plant. The protective potentials of ethanol leaf extract of Bryophyllum pinnatum against gentamicin induced biochemical injury in Wistar albino rats were evaluated using serum biochemical parameters. Twenty-five male albino rats were divided randomly into five groups A to E. Groups C and D received 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg Jatropha gossypiifolia leaves extract respectively. Groups A and B were fed with chow (normal and positive controls) while Group E received 100 mg/kg of Vitamin C. Biochemical injury was induced in rats in groups B-E with gentamicin (i.p) at the dose of 80 mg/kg body weight on the 16th day of study. The rats were then fasted for 48 h and sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Serum was collected for biochemical analysis using standard methods and analytical biochemical kits. There was a significant increase in the serum levels of AST, ALT and ALP of the rats administered with gentamicin (Group B - positive control) compared to the Group A- normal control. However, treatment of rats with 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg body weight of ethanol leaf extract of Jatropha gossypiifolia L significantly decrease these biochemical parameters compared to Group B (p < 0.05). Also, there was a significant increase in the serum levels of conjugated bilirubin and total bilirubin in Group B compared to the normal control. Rat pre-treated with 200 and 300 mg/kg body weight of extract showed significant decrease in the conjugated and total bilirubin compared to the non-treated rats in Group B (p <0.05). Serum level of urea and creatinine significantly increased in Group B compared to normal control. Rats in groups C and D pre-treated with 200 and 300 mg/kg body weight of extract showed significant decrease in the levels of urea and creatinine compared to Group B (p <0.05). There was significant decrease in the serum levels of albumin and total protein of the rats administered with gentamicin compared to the normal control. Rats pre-treated with 200 and 300 mg/kg body weight of extract showed significant increase compared rats in non-treated Group B (p <0.05). The results obtained from this study shows that the ethanolic leaf extract of Jatropha gossypiifolia L has protective functions against gentamicin-induced hepatic and nephrotic damage in Wistar albino rats.
