CERTIFICATION SCRIPT 2026 QUESTIONS
WITH SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◍ storage.
Answer: involves retaining encoded information over time
◍ myth of cognitive rigidity.
Answer: The myth of cognitive rigidity suggests that our cognitive abilities
become rigid and fixed as we age, making it harder to learn new things.
◍ myth of the brain is a computer.
Answer: Myth! The brain is a computer. In the study of the brain's
complexity, the comparison of the brain as a computer has been a common
framework, offering a simple way to understand its functions. This
comparison is rooted in the idea that humans created computers to mimic
the brain's processes, leading to a circular argument where we attempt to
explain the brain by relating it to a creation designed to imitate the brain
itself.
◍ cramming.
Answer: the practice of studying intensively in a short period before an
exam
◍ piaget cognitive development theory.
Answer: focus: interaction with the environment learning through movement
and senses- ages birth to 2sensorimotor:-reflexive or active, sucking,
grabbing, looking, listening, crawling, object permanence (unseen things
still exist)prelogical thought- ages 2 to 7 preoperational:-play and pretend,
symbolic thinking, language develops, forms many new schemes,
egocentrism (focus on only one aspect at a time) factual and logical thought-
, ages 7 to 11concrete operational:-need concrete, hands-on experiences,
mental reversal, seriation, sorting, classifying, conservationhigher order
thinking and reasoning- ages 12+formal operational:-abstract thinking,
critical thinking, hypothesizing, predicting, metaphors, mental
manipulations, systemic problem-solving
◍ spacing.
Answer: strategically spacing out study sessions over time leads to more
robust learning outcomes
◍ social and emotional learning (sel).
Answer: equips students with the skills and competences to navigate the
complexities of life
◍ desirable difficulty.
Answer: introducing challenged or obstacles during leaning to cultivate
resilience and enhance overall
◍ feedback.
Answer: provides information about performance, guiding future actions to
refine learning strategies.
◍ the myth of normal.
Answer: there is a "normal" or standard way of learning and cognitive
functioning
◍ Bloom's revised taxonomy.
Answer: a framework that categorizes educational objectives into six levels
of cognitive complexity: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing,
evaluating, and creating
◍ SCREAM.
Answer: S: StructureC:ClarityR: RedundancyE: EnthusiasmA: Appropriate
rateM: Max engagement
◍ cognitivism.
Answer: seeks to understand the internal processes involved in learning,
, such as perception, memory, problem-solving, and decision-making
◍ Metamemory.
Answer: an understanding about the processes that underlie memory, which
emerges and improves during middle childhood
◍ classical conditioning.
Answer: illustrates how associations between stimuli can lead to learned
responses
◍ Systematic Instruction.
Answer: Teaching that involves instructional prompts, consequences, or
reinforcement, for performance, and transfer of stimulus control. It is
usually used with individuals with disabilities
◍ Self-talk and self-statements.
Answer: positive slef-talk for getting started, during, and after tasks
◍ parts of the brain and their basic functions.
Answer: brain stem- regulation of essential body functions limbic system-
processing emotions, memory formation, and decision makingcerebellum-
balance, coordination, and motor control cerebrum- thinking, reasoning,
problem-solving, processing, information, learning new skills, higher-level
thinking prefrontal cortex- decision-making, impulse control, emotional
regulation, planning, organising, prioritising, tasks
◍ learning science/debunking the myth of cognitive rigidity.
Answer: Neuroscientific research shows that our brains remain quite flexible
throughout our lives. While certain cognitive processes may slow with age,
such as processing speed, other cognitive functions can still adapt and learn.
This flexibility, neuroplasticity, means our brains can reorganize and adjust
based on our experiences, allowing us to keep learning and growing
throughout our lives.
◍ reinforcement.
Answer: increases the likelihood of a behavior being repeated
