| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A student studies the same material several times over many days instead of during one long session. Which term describes this approach? | spacing |
| A learner remembers a historical term during class discussion without looking at notes. Which term describes this process? | retrieval |
| What is feedback-driven metacognition? | Using assessment results to reflect on and regulate one's own learning |
| In learning science, what does storage mean in the memory process? | Maintaining information in memory over time |
| What is neuroplasticity? | The brain’s ability to reorganize and adapt through experience |
| How should a teacher support students who are in Erikson's industry versus inferiority stage? | Provide structured opportunities for success and use constructive feedback |
| During a math study session, a student works through a set of problems that includes addition, multiplication, and algebra questions together. Which learning strategy does this student's approach reflect? | interleaving |
| Which method should a teacher use to structure the classroom environment to promote cognitive development according to Vygotsky? | Design learning activities that encourage collaboration, discussion, and shared problem-solving. |
| A teacher adds manageable challenges to practice so students must work harder to remember and apply learning. Which term describes this approach? | desirable difficulty |
| What is the impact of retrieval practice on learners? | It strengthens recall pathways for later remembering. |
| Which student statement shows a fixed mindset about academic ability? | “I am not good at science, so I cannot learn it. |
| What is differentiated instruction? | Teaching tailored to student needs, interests, and readiness |
| Which term refers to introducing challenges or obstacles during learning that are neither too easy, nor too difficult, but just right for learning? | desirable difficulty |
| Which effect does interleaving have on learning? | It improves transfer by mixing topics during practice. |
| Which statement refutes the myth that neurological differences such as ADHD, dyslexia, and autism are deficits that must be corrected? | Neurological differences are natural and valuable aspects of human variation that enrich learning environments. |
| Which practice counteracts the myth of cognitive rigidity in the classroom? | Fostering a growth mindset culture that frames effort and challenges as pathways to brain development |
| A student feels the emotional and anxious before a test, which affects memory. Which brain structure is involved? | limbic system |
| What is the function of the cerebrum? | It supports thinking, reasoning, and problem-solving. |
| What are the mental processes used to acquire, process, store, and use information? | cognition |
| What is neurodevelopment? | The way the brain grows and changes across the human lifespan |
| Learning is shaped by social interaction and cultural experience. Which view of development does this statement reflect? | Vygotsky’s cognitive development theory |
| Which theory is associated with the idea that healthy development depends on resolving stage-related crises? | Erikson’s psychosocial theory |
| Which stage in Erikson’s theory is associated with birth-12 months? | Trust versus mistrust |
| Which stage in Erikson’s theory is associated with adolescence? | Identity versus role confusion |
| Which behavior most clearly reflects Erikson’s initiative versus guilt stage? | A preschool child invents games, asks questions, and starts new activities. |
| Which cognitive skill is most closely associated with the sensorimotor stage? | Understanding object permanence |
| Which task is the clearest example of fine motor skill development in a preschool child? | Threading beads onto a string |
| A teacher introduces a new sorting task by modeling one step at a time, then gradually lets children complete more of the task independently. Which strategy is the teacher using? | Scaffolding |
| Which cognitive ability is associated with Piaget’s concrete operational stage? | Thinking logically about concrete objects and events |
| What does reversibility mean? | Understanding that an action can be mentally undone to return to its starting point |
| Learning experiences that support critical thinking, self-reflection, and independent inquiry are appropriate for which age group? | Adolescents |
| Which level of Bloom’s revised taxonomy involves using learning in real-world contexts? | Applying |
| Which classroom practice aligns with direct instruction? | Teaching a skill in small steps and giving feedback after each step |
| A learner studies while texting, watching videos, and completing practice questions. Which effect can result from this learning approach? | The learner may reduce focus by switching attention repeatedly. |
| Which statement reflects the myth of cramming? | Cramming may result in short-term memorization. |
| Human brains are incredibly varied, and individuals vary widely in their strengths and weaknesses. Which common myth does this statement refute? | Normality |
| Which statement is consistent with a growth mindset after a setback? | “This shows what I need to improve next.” |
| How does a fixed mindset interpret feedback? | It takes feedback personally, resists criticism, and sees it as judgment. |
| How is constructive feedback viewed in a growth mindset? | As useful input for skill enhancement |
| Which practice counteracts the myth that students learn best when instruction is standardized, by applying evidence-based cognitive style principles? | Tailoring instruction to individual student needs, interests, and readiness levels through differentiated approaches. |
| Which teaching strategy is aligned with behaviorist principles? | Using direct instruction to model a skill, followed by guided practice and corrective feedback. |
| Using cognitivist principles, what should a teacher do to help students transfer new information into long-term memory? | Encourage students to elaborate on new information by connecting it to what they already know. |
| What role should a teacher take in a constructivist classroom? | Facilitating student-led exploration and providing scaffolding as students construct understanding. |
