LEARNER SCIENCE WGU EXAM 2025
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Neruons - ANS Tiny cells that work together like a complex communication at work
cognition - ANS The mental process involved in acquiring, processing storing, and using
information
Neurodevelopment - ANS How the brain grows and changes essential to learning new things,
improving, handling challenges
Neuroscience - ANS Study of the brain and nervous system
Brainstem - ANS Part of the brain that connects to the spinal cord oversees jobs like keeping
heartbeat regular, controlling breathing, managing blood flow and controlling automatic
actions like sneezing
limbic system - ANS Deep in the brain helps handle feelings such as happiness, fear, and
sadness
Cerebellum (little brain) - ANS Located at the back of head, helps control voluntary muscle
movements, posture, and balance
Cerebellum - ANS coordination of voluntary movements and balance

, Cerebrum - ANS Front part of the brain responsible for controlling movement, body
temperature, thinking skills and handle sensory task like seeing/hearing
prefrontal cortex - ANS part of frontal lobe responsible for decision-making, impulse control
and emotional regulation
Encoding - ANS Initial processing of information, converting sensory input into a form that
the brain can store and use
storage - ANS the process of retaining encoded information over time
Retrieval - ANS The process of accessing stored information when needed
feed back - ANS Provides information about performance, guiding future actions to refine
learning strategies
Metacognition - ANS Awareness and understanding of one's thinking process to monitor and
regulate learning
Retrieval practices does what - ANS Enhances long-term retention
Spacing - ANS Spacing out study sessions overtime, leads to more robust learning outcomes
Interleaving - ANS Mixing different topics or skills within a single study session, promotes
deeper understanding and transfer of knowledge
Feedback-Driven Metacognition - ANS monitor and regulate learning processes to foster
greater self-awareness and learning autonomy
