b"HOW TO ACHIEVE WELLNESS Humor is the quality of being amusing or comical. More specifically, the humor effect is a cognitive bias that causes people to remember information better when they perceive it as humorous.For example, when students learn a new concept in a humorous way, such as through a funny story, they are generally more likely to remember that concept, compared to non-humorous teaching.The effect of humor can be very beneficial, and humor in general provides a wide range of benefits, such as increased interest and increased energy levels.1.Thebenefitsofhumor:oneofthemainadvantagesofhumoristhat peoplearegenerallybetterabletorememberinformationthatthey perceive as humorous, compared to information that they do not perceive as humorous.This benefit, called the humor effect, extends to different types of memory, such as recognition memory, which involves the ability to recognize things one has encountered, and recall memory, which involves the ability to retrieve past information.Similarly, humor can also improve people's memory when it comesto verbalinformation,suchaswordsandsentences,aswellaswhenit comestovisualinformation,suchaspictures,andmixedinformation, such as cartoons and videos.Germain Decelles331"
