Abstract

Flavonoids can improve memory because they can increase blood flow in the brain, increase neurotransmitter activity and in long-term administration can ward off the neuronal damage due to oxidative stress due to their antioxidant properties. Strawberries (Fragraria x ananassa) contain a wide range of phytochemicals, including flavonoids. The aim of the study is to identify and provide information on the effect of strawberries on immediate memory. This research method is an almost experimental method which is comparative, with a pre-test and posttest design. The samples collected were 30 students from the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Jenderal Achmad Yani. Sampling in this study using a single random sampling technique. Immediate memory was measured using a nonsense syllable test performed before and after consuming strawberries. Statistical analysis was conducted using the t-dependent test with α = 0.05. The results showed that the mean score after eating strawberries was 8776. This result is higher than the average score before consuming strawberries, which is 7,000. The mean score was up 1,776. The p-value results showed a significant difference (p <0.05) between immediate memory before and after consuming strawberries. On this basis, it can be concluded that consuming strawberries can enhance memory immediately.
