WGU D664 OA EXAM STUDY QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
Cramming—ANSWER Studying hard right before an exam or test
What type of memorization results from cramming? ANSWER: Short or Long
Term Short-term memorization results in a superficial comprehension and poor
long-term retention of the information.
How come cramming is regarded as a myth? ANSWER The cerebrum is
overworked when cramming, which impairs cognitive function. Stress from
last-minute cramming can affect one's ability to think clearly and perform well
on tests.
Multitasking: A ANSWER The capacity to carry out several tasks concurrently
What makes multitasking untrue? ANSWER Multitasking may impair cognitive
function and productivity, according to research. The brain alternates between
tasks since it is not made to focus on more than one at a time.
What works better than cramming or multitasking? ANSWER setting priorities,
concentrating on a single task at a time, allocating specific time for each work,
getting relevant feedback during study sessions, and employing task
comparisons to enhance comprehension.
How do these myths relate to the cerebrum? In executive activities including
planning, decision-making, and attention, ANSWER is essential. It organizes
the distribution of focus among various tasks.
How do these misconceptions relate to the prefrontal cortex? ANSWER
According to research, the prefrontal cortex has a certain amount of capability,
and trying to multitask can tax it to the limit.
Tyler forgot his exam was tomorrow, so he studied hard today. Which technique
is most likely to be employed to retain the information, and will it work?
, ANSWER To pass the test, Tyler will probably rely on memorization. Since this
approach requires the brain to process and retain a large amount of information
rapidly, it will not result in a deeper comprehension.
Which area of the brain is activated by memorization? ANSWER the
hippocampal region. This is in charge of memory and attentiveness.
Which strategy works better? ANSWER Distributed practice or spaced
repetition
Spaced repetition: what is it? ANSWER Distributed practice, often known as
spaced repetition, involves distributing study sessions over time. This enhances
time management, planning, and organization. Additionally, it motivates
students to track their development.
Is it true or not? The brainstem's capacity to control fundamental physiological
processes may be compromised by multitasking. The answer is yes.
ANSWER: Neuroplasticity The brain's capacity to adjust and rearrange itself in
reaction to experience.
The Myth of Normal: The notion that there is a single, accepted way for humans
to behave, think, be, or learn.
ANSWER: Neurodiversity Learning and executive function can be greatly
impacted by the idea that neurological differences should be acknowledged and
appreciated.
When is neuroplasticity used in the classroom? ANSWER developing richer
learning environments, providing feedback, and instructing metacognitive
techniques.
ANSWER: Cognitive Style A person's usual or habitual approach to problem-
solving, thinking, seeing, and recalling.
Which is the main feature of neuroplasticity? ANSWER the brain's capacity to
change and rearrange itself in reaction to experience and education.
