- Affectation
- Cognition
- Metacognition
Question 4: When participating in discussion boards for your online classes, you should
- Focus on quick replies rather than accurate replies.
- Proofread each submission carefully.
- Use texting abbreviations.
- Stick to your position no matter what.
Question 5: In the digital age we have
- Less time to absorb and make sense of new information.
- Fewer ways to learn than we did before the digital age.
- Mentally become narrower and deeper rather than wider and shallower.
- Great difficulty accessing quality information.
Question 6: The Confluence learning pattern is associated with
- Organizing and completing school assignments.
- Finding relevant information and answering questions.
- Private development of answers to real-world problems.
- Developing ideas and taking risks.
Question 7: The impact of digital technology has
- Not been widespread among the general population.
- Had less impact than past technological innovations.
- Slowed in recent years.
- Had a strong effect on how we learn.
Question 8: According to the Let Me Learn system as presented in Figure 1.1, which of the following sequences is correct?
- Brain-mind-interface, sense stimuli, mind, brain
- Brain-mind-interface, sense stimuli, brain, mind
- Sense stimuli, brain-mind interface, brain, mind
- Sense stimuli, brain, brain-mind interface, mind
Question 9: The Let Me Learn system is based primarily on
- Principles of neuro-linguistic programming.
- Right brain/left brain studies.
- Research of the brain-mind interface.
- Insights from ancient greek philosophers.
Question 10: In the Let Me Learn system, the brain is associated with
- Conscious actions.
- Thought processes.
- Processing stimuli.
- Human consciousness.
Question 11: Education in the early twentieth century focused primarily on
- Learning proper English.
- Questioning authority.
- Developing critical-thinking skills.
- Memorizing facts.
Question 12: According to researchers, multitasking
- Is an important skill that college students should acquire.
- Allows people to get more done in less time.
- Enhances the functioning of working memory.
- Results in less efficient learning.
Question 13: Today learning
- Occurs both in school and in the "real world."
- Has been distilled to a simple two-step process.
- Requires either a smart phone or laptop computer.
- Is essentially the same as it was a hundred years ago.
Question 14: Roger Sperry's right brain/left brain concept
- Is limited in scope and was discovered during a study of epilepsy.
- Replaced the concept of brain function as the coordination of all brain sectors.
- Was specifically used to validate the views of "divisions of the mind" proponents.
- Is the basis for neuro-linguistic programming.
Question 15: The efficient functioning of working memory is increased by
- The sequential engagement of cognition, conation, and affectation.
- Lower levels of mindfulness during the learning process.
- Selecting between relevant information and irrelevant information and storing relevant information for retrieval.
- Decreased incubation of thought.
Question 16: The four learning patterns of the brain-mind interface
- Are present only in women in that men lack the confluence pattern.
- Each allow the same amount of stimuli to pass through to the working memory.
- Vary substantially from person to person.
- Occur in this specific order: sequence, precision, technical reasoning, confluence.
Question 17: Learning is most likely to empower you and enhance your life when
- You have the latest digital technology and know how to use it.
- Your mind is prepared and ready to learn.
- You've discovered how to minimize stress.
- You have the support of friends and family for your education endeavors.
Question 18: Of the four learning patterns, _______________ is primarily involved with problem solving.
- Precision
- Technical Reasoning
- Confluence
- Sequence
Question 19: Once stimuli are in the brain, they are processed by
- The right brain only.
- The left brain only.
- The cerebral cortex only.
- All sectors of the brain.
Question 20: A mindful student
- Uses only one learning pattern at a time.
- Has decreased function of working memory.
- Intentionally focuses on one task.
- Is good at doing two or more things at once.
