LEARNERS AND LEARNING SCIENCE D664 | WGU |
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | LATEST UPDATE
2025/2026 | WITH COMPLETE SOLUTION
Neuroscience Answer - The study of the brain and nervous system
Cognition Answer - Thinking activities such as remembering, understanding,
problem-solving, and decision-making, including how people get, use, and
store information in their minds
Neurons Answer - Tiny cells in the brain that work together like an extensive
communication network
Neurodevelopment Answer - Plays a crucial role in acquiring new knowledge,
honing cognitive skills, and adapting to the challenges of formal education
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
Limbic System Answer - Deep in the brain, it is like an emotional control center
helping handle feelings like happiness, fear, and sadness
, Cerebellum 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 Answer - Plays a crucial role in decision-making, impulse
control, and emotional regulation
Encoding Answer - The initial processing of information, converting sensory
input into a form that the brain can store and use
Storage Answer - Involves retaining encoded information over time
Retrieval Answer - The process of accessing stored information when needed
Feedback Answer - Provides information about performance, guiding future
actions to refine learning strategies
Metacognition Answer - The awareness of understanding of one's thinking
processes to monitor and regulate learning
Retrieval Practice Answer - Enhances long-term retention by actively recalling
information from memory
Spacing Answer - Strategically spacing out study sessions over time leads to
more robust learning outcomes
Interleaving Answer - Mixing different topics or skills within a single study
session promotes deeper understanding and transfer of knowledge
