Literature Informing this Study
This study integrates research findings from multiple disciplines. The literature review is organized using the STROLL acronym, starting with research about using an acronym and proceeding through the letters and their corresponding concepts.
Snapshot of Literature Informing this Study
#1: Acronym [Neuroscience/Goal Achievement/Change Concepts]
Framework for organizing NeuroStrollTM experience
Main Points/Findings
* Acronyms help with limited brain capacity
* Early cognitive scientists suggested 7 items
* Later studies reinforce the efficacy of chunking and that we can retain 4 items in our memory
* Creating acronyms facilitates memory retention through stickiness

#2 Neuroplasticity [Neuroscience/Goal Achievement/Change Concepts]
Brain changes
Main Points/Findings
* The brain continues to rewire itself
* Change happens by paying attention first and then repeating over and over until new neural patterns are formed

#3 S = Sensing [Neuroscience/Goal Achievement/Change Concepts]
Sensory Link
Main Points/Findings
* Our brains respond to and are influenced by light, sound, and movement

#4 T = Thinking [Neuroscience/Goal Achievement/Change Concepts]
Cognitive Approach
Main Points/Findings
* Negative thoughts activate negative emotions
* Negative thoughts trigger the amygdala
* Focusing on values helps focus us in a positive direction
