63 function. I think it's time to change my diet! Now on to the vocabulary we looked at in this programme. Rob: So today we've been talking about our memory – we use our memory to remember things and memories is the noun for things we remember from the past. Neil: Then we discussed a learning style known as kinaesthetic, that is learning by 'doing' and practicing something over and over again. Rob : We heard from Professor Daryl O‘Connor, who talked about contextual representation – when something is contextual, you see it in the situation where it usually exists. Neil: Next we talked about encoding. That is changing information into a form that can be stored and later recalled. Rob: And we mentioned intuitive sense – having an intuitive sense means doing something ‗based on feelings rather than facts or proof‘ – so, you just feel it is the best thing to do. Neil: And finally we mentioned Alzheimer‘s – a disease affecting the brain that makes it difficult to remember things and it gets worse as you get older. Rob: Well, there are lots of new words to remember there – but that‘s all for this programme. Neil: Don‘t forget to visit us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube and our website bbclearningenglish.com . Bye for now. Rob: Goodbye! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we4KiShNjlA Unit III. Ex. 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. So, I want to start by offering you a free no-tech life hack, and all it requires of you is this: that you change your posture for two minutes. But before I give it away, I want to ask you to right now do a little audit of your body and what you're doing with your body. So how many of you are sort of making yourselves smaller? Maybe you're hunching, crossing your legs, maybe wrapping your ankles. Sometimes we hold onto our arms like this. Sometimes we spread out. I see you. So I want you to pay attention to what you're doing right now. We're going to come back to that in a few minutes, and I'm hoping that if you sort of learn to tweak this a little bit, it could significantly change the way your life unfolds. So, we're really fascinated with body language, and we're particularly interested in other people's body language. You know, we're interested in, like, you know, an awkward interaction, or a smile, or a contemptuous glance, or maybe a very awkward wink, or maybe even something like a handshake. Here they are arriving at Number 10. Look at this lucky policeman gets to shake hands with the President of the United States. Or near comes the Prime Minister - No. So, a handshake, or the lack of a handshake, can have us talking for weeks and weeks and weeks. Even the BBC and The New York Times. So obviously when we think about nonverbal behavior, or body language – but we call it nonverbals as social scientists – it's language, so we think about communication. When we think about communication, we think about interactions. So what is your body language communicating to me? What's mine communicating to you? And there's a lot of reasons to believe that this is a valid way to look at this. So social scientists have spent a lot of time looking at the effects of our body language, or other people's body language, on judgments. And we make sweeping
