WGU - D664 FINAL PAPER ACTUAL EXAM
EXAM STUDY SHEET 2026 GRADED A+.
⫸ Cognition - Thinking activities such as remembering,
understanding, problem-solving, and decision-making, including how
people get, use, and store information in their minds
⫸ Neurons - Tiny cells in the brain that work together like an
extensive communication network
⫸ Neurodevelopment - Plays a crucial role in acquiring new
knowledge, honing cognitive skills, and adapting to the challenges of
formal education
⫸ Brain Stem - Part of the brain that connects to the spinal cord;
oversees important jobs like keeping the heart beating regularly,
controlling breathing, managing blood flow, and controlling automatic
actions like sneezing and swallowing
⫸ Limbic System - Deep in the brain, it is like an emotional control
center helping handle feelings like happiness, fear, and sadness
⫸ Cerebellum - The front part of the brain responsible for controlling
movement, body temperature, and thinking skills like speaking,
problem-solving, and decision-making; also handles sensory tasks
such as seeing, hearing, and feeling
, ⫸ Prefrontal Cortex - Plays a crucial role in decision-making,
impulse control, and emotional regulation
⫸ Encoding - The initial processing of information, converting
sensory input into a form that the brain can store and use
⫸ Storage - Involves retaining encoded information over time
⫸ Retrieval - The process of accessing stored information when
needed
⫸ Feedback - Provides information about performance, guiding
future actions to refine learning strategies
⫸ Metacognition - The awareness of understanding of one's thinking
processes to monitor and regulate learning
⫸ Retrieval Practice - Enhances long-term retention by actively
recalling information from memory
⫸ Spacing - Strategically spacing out study sessions over time leads
to more robust learning outcomes
⫸ Interleaving - Mixing different topics or skills within a single study
session promotes deeper understanding and transfer of knowledge
