D665 OA Practice Questions with Verified
Correct Answers
the study of the brain and nervous system
neuroscience
thinking activities such as remembering, understanding, problem-solving, and decision-
making, including how people get, use, and store information in their minds
cognition
tiny cells in the brain that work together like an extensive communication network
neurons
plays a crucial role in acquiring new knowledge, honing cognitive skills, and adapting to
the challenges of formal education
neurodevelopment
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
brain stem
deep in the brain, it is like an emotional control center helping handle feelings like
happiness, fear, and sadness
limbic system
located at the back of the head, the "little brain" helps control voluntary muscle
movements, posture, and balance
, cerebellum
the front part of the brain responsible for controlling movement, body temperature, and
thinking skills like speaking, problem-solving, and decision-making; it also handles
sensory tasks like seeing, hearing, and feeling touch
cerebrum
plays a crucial role in decision-making, impulse control, and emotional regulation
prefrontal cortex
the initial processing of information, converting sensory input into a form that the brain
can store and use
encoding
involves retaining encoded information over time
storage
the process of accessing stored information when needed
retrieval
provides information about performance, guiding future actions to refine learning
strategies
feedback
the awareness and understanding of one's thinking processes to monitor and regulate
learning
metacognition
enhances long-term retention by actively recalling information from memory
