people get, use, and store information in their minds
3. Neurons - ANSWER Tiny cells in the brain that work together like an
extensive communication network
4. Neurodevelopment - ANSWER Plays a crucial role in acquiring new
knowledge, honing cognitive skills, and adapting to the challenges of formal
education
5. Myelination - ANSWER A process that makes pathways stronger
6. Pruning - ANSWER Gets rid of pathways that are no longer needed.
,7. Prenatal - ANSWER Formations of the brain cells begin in the womb
8. Newborn - ANSWER The brain begins a rapid period of growth
9. Early Childhood - ANSWER Pruning begins and myelination continues
10.Adolescence - ANSWER Brain development processes continue.
Especially in the frontal lobe.
11.Adulthood - ANSWER Brain development begins to slow down.
12.Brain development timeline - ANSWER Prenatal-->Birth-->Newborn--
>Early Childhood-->Adolescence-->Adulthood
13.Brain Stem - ANSWER 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.
14.Limbic System - ANSWER Deep in the brain, it is like an emotional
control center helping handle feelings like happiness, fear, and sadness.
15.hippocampus: - ANSWER a part of the limbic system involved in
memory, learning, and emotion
,16.distributed practice - ANSWER explores how the brain retains
information when learning is spread out over time rather than condensed
17.Cerebellum - ANSWER Located at the back of the head, the 'little brain'
helps control voluntary muscle movements, posture, and balance.
18.Cerebrum - ANSWER 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.
19.Prefrontal Cortex - ANSWER Plays a crucial role in decision-making,
impulse control, and emotional regulation.
20.Cognition ecompasses processes such as memory preception, reasoning,
problem solving, and decision making. T/F - ANSWER True
21.The prefrontal cortex is repsonsible for balacnce, corridinaiton, and motor
control. T/F - ANSWER False
22.What is a functional magnetic reasonace imaging (fMRI) primarly used for? -
ANSWER Mapping brain activity
, 23.Encoding - ANSWER Refers to the initial processing of information,
where sensory input is transformed into a form that the brain can store and
use.
24.Storage - ANSWER Involves retaining this encoded information over
time.
25.Retrieval - ANSWER The process of getting stored information when
needed.
26.Feedback - ANSWER Plays a vital role in refining our learning strategies
by providing information about our performance, guiding future actions.
27.Metacognition - ANSWER Involves awareness and understanding of
one's thinking processes, enabling learners to monitor and regulate their
learning effectively.
28.retrieval practice - ANSWER enhances long-term retention by actively
recalling information from memory
29.How does retrieval practice work? - ANSWER Actively recalling
information from memory, such as answering questions or completing
quizzes, which strengthens long-term retention
30.Example of retrieval practice - ANSWER Instead of just re-reading notes,
students practice recalling information without looking at their materials.
