SOLUTIONS
Encoding - ANSWERProcess that involves transforming sensory input into useable
information
Storage - ANSWERHolds processed information for later use.
Feedback - ANSWERReceiving information about performance.
Retrieval - ANSWERAccessing information that is being held.
Metacognition - ANSWERUnderstanding own thought process
Retrieval practices - ANSWERIntentionally remembering stored information
Interleaving - ANSWERcovering multiple types of problems during ONE study session-
like getting multiple flavors of ice cream in one cup.
Retrieval Practices - ANSWERStudents quiz one another on important concepts to
prepare for an exam.
Spacing - ANSWERStudying 30 to 45 minutes every morning.
Desired difficulty - ANSWERDesigning task for a lesson opener so students have to use
the concepts they already know in a new way. "Right amount of challenge."
Managing time effectively - ANSWERExecutive function. Think of it as your jobs
executer- expects what? Your time being managed effectively.
Limited brain capacity - ANSWERConcept from neuroscience that CONTRICDICTS the
myth of multitasking..
Think about decorating a tree, you are at limited capacity . You can NOT put star,
ribbon, garland, ornaments all on at one time.
Cognitive styles - ANSWERRefute the myth of normality.
Example:
Different cognitive styles offer unique advantages depending on the situation. For
example, someone with a more visual cognitive style might excel in spatial reasoning,
while an individual with a more analytical style might excel in complex problem-solving.
