Cramming - CORRECT ANSWER -Studying intensely shortly before a test or exam



What kind of memorization does cramming lead to? Short or Long Term - CORRECT ANSWER -
Short term memorization leading to shallow understanding and poor retention of material in
the long run.



Why is cramming considered a myth? - CORRECT ANSWER -Cramming puts too much strain on
the cerebrum, leading to a decline in cognitive abilities. The stress associated with last-minute
cramming can impair cognitive function and hinder performance during exams.



Multitasking - CORRECT ANSWER -The ability to perform multiple tasks at the same time



Why is multitasking a myth? - CORRECT ANSWER -Research suggests multitasking may hinder
productivity and cognitive performance. The brain is not designed to focus on multiple tasks at
once and instead switches between them.



What is more effective than multitasking or cramming? - CORRECT ANSWER -Prioritizing tasks,
focusing on one task at a time, assigning dedicated time to certain tasks, seeking appropriate
feedback during study sessions, and leveraging comparisons in tasks to deepen understanding.



What does the cerebrum have to do with these myths? - CORRECT ANSWER -plays a crucial role
in executive functions such as attention, planning, and decision making. it coordinates the
allocation of attention to different tasks.



What does the prefrontal cortex have to do with these myths? - CORRECT ANSWER -Studies
have found that the prefrontal cortex has limited capacity, and attempting to juggle multiple
tasks can overwhelm its resources.
