* Stanford’s  Natalie Phillips  found an overall increase in blood flow during close reading. She writes in _Stanford News_ , “paying attention to literary texts requires the coordination of multiple complex cognitive functions.” Blood flow also increases during pleasure reading, but in different brain areas. Phillips suggested that each style of reading can create distinct patterns in the brain that are “far more complex than just work and play.”

Secret Santa is a classic holiday tradition that lives on, even in today’s
remote work landscape. Use a Secret Santa generator website (such as  Elfster
 ) to assign each employee a
gift recipient and set some gift-giving parameters. Then, have everyone mail
their chosen gifts directly to their assigned colleague. The anticipation and
excitement of receiving a surprise package will add a touch of magic to the
holiday season.

#  What to write in a Memory Book?
##  **What is a Collaborative Recipe Cookbook?**
Effects of bilingualism  

There is a significant difference in the amount of TOTs experienced by
monolinguals and bilinguals.  [28]  Bilinguals seem to report the same amount
of TOTs as monolinguals for proper names but significantly more TOTs for other
words.  [28]  Specifically, when adjusted for the degree of use of the
dominant and less-dominant language, bilinguals have more TOTs with the less-
dominant language.  [28]  [29]  In a task of picture-naming, bilingual
speakers were slower than monolinguals, even when they could use their first
and dominant language. This could possibly be the result of bilinguals using
the words less often than monolingual speakers.  [30]  Bilinguals also
represent virtually twice as many words and additional cognitive mechanisms
for activation and inactivation of languages. Such mechanisms introduce added
processing burden that monolinguals do not face. In addition, even when a task
seems monolingual, bilingual system is never functionally "off."  [28]
So, let’s get into it!

We’ve compared each online platform based on six different categories.
Creating the perfect collaborative greeting card or gift requires top-notch
technology, so each platform is graded on a scale of 1 to 5 in the following
categories: user-friendliness, message privacy, types of media that can be
utilized to create your  card/gift
 ,
design options, physical gift options, and customer reviews. Which online
platform is best for your colleague’s  retirement
 ,
Grandpa’s 80th birthday, or your remote office holiday party? It depends on
your goals, how easily you want to collaborate with friends/staff, and whether
or not you want a digital card or a tangible gift to give your colleague or 
loved one  .
Have you checked out  the wiki  ?

It would be lovely to create a Memory Book in conjunction with the person
whose life you are honouring. Have a look at some of these wonderful  videos
from The Daily Show
 where Trevor Noah interviews his grandmother.
They would translate into an amazing book for all her family members to
cherish. Of course, Trevor Noah did more than create a memory book – he wrote
his  memoir  . If you do choose to involve the person in the
creation of their memoire, here are some good  interview questions

designed to spark forgotten memories and help you produce a memorable

If you found yourself doing different things during 2020 with the Corona virus
isolation and reduced working hours, then consider whether you have enough
material to create a Memory Book. Do you have (or can you recreate) photos of
the baking, growing, home schooling, wardrobe clearing etc? Alongside the
photos tell the story of the virus, the rules and most importantly how you
(and your family) felt. If you have forgotten some of the activities, take a
look at this article as a refresher of the  things to do whilst self-
isolating  – you will have
done many of them.
See you there if you can make it. :)

family visits, local adventures, brief visits—they make great little volumes
of memories. Plan a little in advance, and you’ll be able to collect everyone
else’s photos from the trip and have plenty [of] material.” Capture anecdotes
and a message from each person on the weekend and you will have something

Effects of age  

Age is an important factor when considering TOT states. Throughout adulthood,
the frequency of TOTs increases, especially during the advanced years.  [33]
[34]  Compared with young adults, older adults generally report having more
TOT states, fewer alternate words, and less phonological information about the
target word.  [35]  The underpinnings of TOT with regard to age have focused
on neurological brain differences. Current research using  neuroimaging
 compared the brain patterns of younger
and older individuals experiencing TOT states. It appears that both older and
younger individuals employ a similar network of brain regions during TOT
states such as the  prefrontal cortex  , left  insula  , and
sensorimotor cortex.  [25]  However, older individuals show differences in
activity in some areas compared to younger individuals.  [25]  TOTs increase
with age-related  gray matter  loss in the
left insula for older individuals.  [33]  This is accompanied by less activity
in the left insula and is related to higher frequency of TOTs.  [25]
Furthermore, it was found that older individuals have over-activation in their
prefrontal cortex when experiencing TOT states.  [36]  This may indicate a
continued search when the retrieval process fails and a TOT state is
experienced.  [36]  More specifically, greater activation in the sensorimotor
cortex in older individuals and less in younger adults may reflect differences
in the knowledge that is used to retrieve the target information.  [36]  
Priming  "Priming \(psychology\)") words during
word retrieval tests generally reduces the frequency of TOTs and improves the
retrieval of the target word and has been shown to have a larger benefit for
older adults.  [25]  [33]  This is consistent with the  spreading activation
 model, where neural
connections are strengthened when used more.  [33]  Although older people
experience more tip of the tongue states more often than any other category,

We all have hundreds of photos of our beloved pets. Equally there are so many
memories about the things they do – their habits and little quirks. You could
also include some pet poems – there are so many on the internet to choose from
– see this  example  .
Whether your pet is still with you or you are mourning them, it is a heart-
warming exercise making a book in their honour.

Effects of gestures  

It is unknown whether gesturing is helpful in finding the elusive word in a
TOT experience. It is difficult to determine if the participant is using
gestures as their regular form of communication or if they are using gestures
in order to help them overcome their TOT experience and retrieve the target
word.  [42]
###  11\. Scavenger Hunt
Neurological activation in the TOT state  

 The  anterior cingulate
cortex  shows
increased activation in TOT states

Several areas of the brain show increased activation in a TOT state. The
following is a list of the specific structures that show increased activation
during a tip of the tongue state:

*  Anterior cingulate cortex  (ACC)  [23]  [24]  [25]
*  Posterior cingulate cortex  (PCC)  [26]
* Right  dorsolateral prefrontal cortex  (DLPFC)  [23]  [24]
* Right inferior  prefrontal cortex  (RIPC)  [23]
* Bilateral anterior  frontal cortex  [23]
* Posterior medial  parietal cortex  [23]
* Bilateral lateral parietal cortex  [23]
* Bilateral superior  prefrontal cortex  [23]
*  Supramarginal gyrus  [24]
*  Superior temporal gyrus  [24]
*  Supplementary motor area  [24]  [25]
* Left  insular cortex  [25]

It was also shown  [26]  that in TOT state the activation of the 
parahippocampal gyrus 
is decreased.

Not much is known about the exact function of these areas in the tip-of-the-
tongue phenomenon. The areas activated during TOT may vary depending on the
nature of the target word. For example, if the target word is a person's name,
the  fusiform face area  will
likely show activation as the rememberer processes the person's face. Problems
like this make it difficult to determine what areas are specifically
implicated in TOT states, and which are a byproduct of other cognitive
functions. However, some inferences can be made about the roles of these
structures based on theories of their functions derived from other studies of
these structures, unrelated to TOT. It is hypothesized that the anterior
cingulate cortex and the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex operate as a
circuit to detect conflict, and may perform this role in detecting the
conflict between the feeling of knowing the target word and the recall
failure.  [23]  The anterior cingulate cortex is also implicated in emotion
and may show activation because of the emotional response to the tip of the
tongue state.  [27]  The posterior medial parietal cortex, bilateral lateral
parietal cortex, and the bilateral superior prefrontal cortex are involved in
retrieval and evaluation, and therefore may play a role in the metacognitive
processes involved in the tip of the tongue phenomenon such as the evaluation
of one's own knowledge and the probability of retrieval.  [23]
