Neuroscience |- |correct |answer | |The |study |of |the |brain |and |nervous |system
Cognition |- |correct |answer | |Thinking |activities |such |as |remembering, |understanding, |problem-solving, |
and |decision-making, |including |how |people |get, |use, |and |store |information |in |their |minds
Neurons |- |correct |answer | |Tiny |cells |in |the |brain |that |work |together |like |an |extensive |communication |
network
Neurodevelopment |- |correct |answer | |Plays |a |crucial |role |in |acquiring |new |knowledge, |honing |
cognitive |skills, |and |adapting |to |the |challenges |of |formal |education
Brain |Stem |- |correct |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
Limbic |System |- |correct |answer | |Deep |in |the |brain, |it |is |like |an |emotional |control |center |helping |
handle |feelings |like |happiness, |fear, |and |sadness
Cerebellum |- |correct |answer | |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 |- |correct |answer | |Plays |a |crucial |role |in |decision-making, |impulse |control, |and |
emotional |regulation
Encoding |- |correct |answer | |The |initial |processing |of |information, |converting |sensory |input |into |a |form
|that |the |brain |can |store |and |use
, Storage |- |correct |answer | |Involves |retaining |encoded |information |over |time
Retrieval |- |correct |answer | |The |process |of |accessing |stored |information |when |needed
Feedback |- |correct |answer | |Provides |information |about |performance, |guiding |future |actions |to |refine |
learning |strategies
Metacognition |- |correct |answer | |The |awareness |of |understanding |of |one's |thinking |processes |to |
monitor |and |regulate |learning
Retrieval |Practice |- |correct |answer | |Enhances |long-term |retention |by |actively |recalling |information |
from |memory
Spacing |- |correct |answer | |Strategically |spacing |out |study |sessions |over |time |leads |to |more |robust |
learning |outcomes
Interleaving |- |correct |answer | |Mixing |different |topics |or |skills |within |a |single |study |session |promotes |
deeper |understanding |and |transfer |of |knowledge
Feedback-driven |Metacognition |- |correct |answer | |Monitor |and |regulate |learning |processes |to |foster |
greater |self-awareness |and |learning |autonomy
Desirable |Difficulty |- |correct |answer | |Introducing |challenges |or |obstacles |during |learning |to |cultivate |
resilience |and |enhance |overall
Learning |Science |- |correct |answer | |Investigates |how |people |learn, |encompassing |psychology, |
neuroscience, |education, |and |computer |science |to |understand |the |cognitive |processes, |behaviors, |and
|environments |that |facilitate |learning |and |knowledge |acquisition
Research-based |Practices |- |correct |answer | |Arise |from |solid |empirical |research |or |methods |shown |to |
positively |affect |classroom |learning
