AND LEARNINGS SCIENCE EXAM
QUESTIONS & VERIFIED CORRECT
ANSWERS ALL PASSED
Neuroscience - CORRECT ANSWER the study of the brain and the nervous system
Cognition - CORRECT ANSWER how we take in, process, remember, and use
information—like learning, thinking, or solving problems.
Neurons - CORRECT ANSWER Tiny cells in your brain that work together to create a
complex communication network
Neurodevelopment - CORRECT ANSWER How the brain grows and changes
Mylenation - CORRECT ANSWER Makes pathways between neurons stronger
Pruning - CORRECT ANSWER When applied to brain development, the process by
which unused connections are gotten rid if
Developmental stage where formation of brain cells begins in the womb - CORRECT
ANSWER Newborn stage
Developmental stage where the brain begins a rapid stage of growth - CORRECT
ANSWER Newborn
Developmental stage where pruning begins and myelination continues - CORRECT
ANSWER Early childhood
Developmental stage where brain developmental processes continue, especially in the
frontal lobe - CORRECT ANSWER Adolescence
Developmental stage where brain development begins to slow down - CORRECT
ANSWER Adulthood
brainstem - CORRECT ANSWER Controls basic functions like breathing and heart
rate. Keeps us alive and regulates functions
, limbic system - CORRECT ANSWER involved in emotions and memory. part of the
brain helps us process emotions, form memories, and make decisions based on past
experiences
cerebellum - CORRECT ANSWER —responsible for balance, coordination, and motor
control—also begins to develop early in life
Cerebrum - CORRECT ANSWER the largest part of the brain—is responsible for
higher cognitive functions like thinking, reasoning, and problem-solving.
prefrontal cortex - CORRECT ANSWER within the cerebrum is the_________—which
plays a crucial role in decision-making, impulse control, and emotional regulation. As
students progress through elementary, middle, and high school, the prefrontal cortex
continues to mature, influencing their ability to plan, organize, and prioritize tasks,
impacting their academic performance and social interactions
Encoding - CORRECT ANSWER refers to the initial processing of information, where
sensory input is transformed into a form that the brain can store and use.
Storage - CORRECT ANSWER involves retaining this encoded information over time,
while retrieval is the process of getting stored information when needed.
Feedback - CORRECT ANSWER plays a vital role in refining our learning strategies by
providing information about our performance, guiding future actions.
Metacognition - CORRECT ANSWER awareness and understanding of one's own
thought processes.
involves awareness and understanding of one's thinking processes, enabling learners to
monitor and regulate their learning effectively.
retrieval practice - CORRECT ANSWER actively recalling information from memory,
such as answering questions or completing quizzes, which strengthens long-term
retention
Spacing - CORRECT ANSWER Spreading out studying to shorter periods for greater
encoding of information
Interleaving - CORRECT ANSWER a retrieval practice strategy that involves mixing the
study of different topics.
Feedback driven metacognition - CORRECT ANSWER using feedback from
assessments and evaluations to reflect on and regulate one's own learning strategies
and understanding
