ACTUAL EXAM PREP QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS || 100%
GUARANTEED PASS <RECENT VERSION>
Cognitive Style - ANSWER ✅refers to the consistent approach individuals take to
problem-solving, thinking, perception, and memory across various tasks,
influencing how they process information and interact with their environment.
Neuroplasticity is characterized by the brain's ability to ..... - ANSWER ✅adapt
and reorganize in response to experience, learning, and environmental changes.
This process involves the formation of new neural connections, the strengthening
or weakening of existing connections, and even the generation of new neurons.
(WGU)
Neurodiversity refers to... - ANSWER ✅embracing and celebrating the natural
variation in cognitive functioning and neurological differences among individuals.
It recognizes that neurological differences, such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and
other conditions, are a natural part of human individuality and should be respected
and accommodated.
cognitive rigidity - ANSWER ✅The myth of cognitive rigidity suggests that our
cognitive abilities become rigid and fixed as we age, making it harder to learn new
things.
Differentiated Instruction - ANSWER ✅recognizes that every student is unique
and tailors teaching to individual needs, interests, and readiness levels
social and emotional learning SEL - ANSWER ✅equips students with the skills
and competencies to navigate the complexities of life
The myth of the brain is a computer suggests... - ANSWER ✅the brain works like
a machine, processing information linearly and logically. However, this
oversimplification ignores the complexity and adaptability of the human brain,
which is influenced by emotions, experiences, and connections between neurons.
, Information processing theory - ANSWER ✅includes encoding, storage, and
retrieval, further strengthens this comparison by using terminology like computer
functions. Concepts like sensory input, working memory, and long-term memory,
which are fundamental to understanding brain function, also echo the language and
processes of computer systems. However, the danger lies in going beyond this
comparison, as it oversimplifies the brain's complexity and fails to capture its
holistic nature. By recognizing the limitations of the brain-computer comparison,
we can move beyond the myth and embrace a more detailed understanding of the
brain's complex connections to the body.
The neuroscience of the embodied mind... - ANSWER ✅explores how our bodies
and experiences shape our thoughts, emotions, and perceptions. It highlights the
interconnectedness between the brain, body, and environment, emphasizing that
cognition is not solely confined to the brain but emerges from interactions with the
world around us.
The myth of cramming - ANSWER ✅Cramming puts too much strain on the
cerebrum, leading to a decline in cognitive abilities. The intense and prolonged
mental exertion involved in cramming often results in fatigue, stress, and
diminished cognitive function. This can be seen with challenges in maintaining
focus, remembering information, and making decisions effectively. Also, the stress
associated with last-minute cramming can impair cognitive function and hinder
performance during exams.
The myth of multi tasking - ANSWER ✅research suggests multitasking may
hinder productivity and cognitive performance. The brain is not designed to focus
on multiple tasks at once; instead, it switches between tasks, resulting in decreased
efficiency and increased errors. Furthermore, multitasking can lead to reduced
attention span and impaired memory retention.
Learning Science: Rather than juggling multiple tasks at once, it's more effective to
prioritize tasks, focus on one task at a time, and assign dedicated time for each
activity. By dispelling the myth of multitasking, you can improve your
concentration, productivity, and overall cognitive performance.
Sensory Exploration - ANSWER ✅involves activities that engage the senses—
touch, sight, hearing, smell, and taste—helping children explore and understand
the world around them
, autonomy versus shame/doubt stage - ANSWER ✅This stage involves a child's
journey toward independence and decision-making
trust versus mistrust stage - ANSWER ✅Infants learn to rely on caregivers for
their basic needs, fostering trust—while inconsistency in meeting these needs can
lead to mistrust, suspicion, and anxiety about their environment.
object permanence - ANSWER ✅the understanding that something still exists
even though it cannot be seen or heard
sensorimotor stage - ANSWER ✅Infants (0-2 years old) explore through senses
and actions, developing an understanding of object permanence and laying
cognitive foundations
Encoding - ANSWER ✅Process that involves transforming sensory input into
useable information
Storage - ANSWER ✅Holds processed information for later use.
Feedback - ANSWER ✅Receiving information about performance.
Retrieval - ANSWER ✅Accessing information that is being held.
Metacognition - ANSWER ✅Understanding own thought process
Retrieval practices - ANSWER ✅Intentionally remembering stored information
Interleaving - ANSWER ✅covering multiple types of problems during ONE
study session- like getting multiple flavors of ice cream in one cup.
Retrieval Practices - ANSWER ✅Students quiz one another on important
concepts to prepare for an exam.
Spacing - ANSWER ✅Studying 30 to 45 minutes every morning.
Desired difficulty - ANSWER ✅Designing task for a lesson opener so students
have to use the concepts they already know in a new way. "Right amount of
challenge."
, Managing time effectively - ANSWER ✅Executive function. Think of it as your
jobs executer- expects what? Your time being managed effectively.
Limited brain capacity - ANSWER ✅Concept from neuroscience that
CONTRICDICTS the myth of multitasking..
Think about decorating a tree, you are at limited capacity . You can NOT put star,
ribbon, garland, ornaments all on at one time.
Cognitive styles - ANSWER ✅Refute the myth of normality.
Example:
Different cognitive styles offer unique advantages depending on the situation. For
example, someone with a more visual cognitive style might excel in spatial
reasoning, while an individual with a more analytical style might excel in complex
problem-solving.
Embodied mind - ANSWER ✅disprove the myth of the brain as a computer.
Example:
Brain is connected to BODY and BODY influences. emBODied mind.
Encourage consistent study habits - ANSWER ✅An appropriate strategy to fight
the myth of cramming.
Example:
Filling/Cramming mouth full of food can result in chocking. Taking consistent
smaller bites of food, will not choke you.
Varied instructional methods - ANSWER ✅Strategy teacher can use to counteract
the common myth of normality
Example: No one learns the same.
Help students face challenges with enthusiasm - ANSWER ✅A teacher wants to
counteract the myth of cognitive rigidity.
