Abstract

Background: Memory acts as a storage mechanism for obtained knowledge which can be remembered later. Especially for students who spend most of their time to study, short-term memory is often being used before the information consolidated to long-term memory.The past researches have indicated that individual’s attention level whom receive multisensory stimuli will be higher than those who receive unisensory stimulus. In which attenion is closely related to memory, thus stimuli can affect individual’s short-term memory performance Method: This present study is an analytic-experimental study with posttest only design. Short-term memory performance is measured by Digit Span test. Each of the three groups were given three different stimuli namely auditory, visual, and audiovisual. The score would be analyze using one-way ANOVA statistical test. In which the p-value ? 0,05 is considered significant. Results: There is a significant difference of the Digit Span total score among three groups with different stimuli. The p-value is 0.003 on ANOVA test. On Bonferroni statistical test, the audiovisual group obtained the highest score with p-value 0.016 compared to the auditory group and 0.005 compared to the visual group. Discussion: Two stimuli of information provided a better impact on short-term memory than giving one stimulus. This occurs because of the integration in the parietal-temporal-occipital association cortex to two or more stimuli that are given simultaneously. Processing the input received by the brain becomes easier and a more complete memory output is obtained. Conclusion: There is a significant result on this study by giving different type of stimuli towards short-term memory performance

Abstract

Background: Education and awareness about dementia remain limited in many communities, impacting early detection and support for affected individuals. Teachers, as community gatekeepers, may play an important role in improving dementia awareness. Objective: This pilot study evaluated the effectiveness of an educational program designed to improve dementia knowledge among junior high school teachers. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental pre–post design to assess the effectiveness of an educational intervention aimed at improving dementia knowledge among junior high school teachers. Thirty-five teachers participated in a structured training program that included lectures, interactive discussions, and tailored educational materials. Dementia-related knowledge was measured before and after the intervention using structured assessments to evaluate changes in understanding and awareness. Results: Post-intervention analysis demonstrated a significant increase in dementia knowledge scores compared to baseline (p = 0.029). Teachers also reported greater confidence in recognizing dementia symptoms and expressed willingness to support affected students and families. Conclusion: The findings suggest that targeted educational programs can effectively enhance dementia knowledge among teachers, empowering them as community agents for awareness and support. Scaling such initiatives may contribute to public health strategies aimed at improving dementia care and reducing stigma. Future research should examine long-term knowledge retention and the practical application of increased awareness in school settings.
