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