In other words, this schedule takes advantage of __________.

    expanding retrieval practice

    Consider the following recommendation from the Optimizing Learning in College article (one of the required readings for Week 1): "Be skeptical about what you think you know---testing yourself can provide a better picture about which concepts you know well and which you might need to study further." The recommendation that you "be skeptical about what you think you know" is based most DIRECTLY on the fact that ____________.

    people do not always have good metacognition about their own learning

    Consider the following recommendation made in the Optimizing Learning in College article (one of the required readings for Week 1): "Instead of writing down a chapter summary as you read, write down what you remember after you read, recalling the details from memory. [...]" This recommendation is most DIRECTLY relevant to which of the following principles of effective learning?

    retrieval practice

    This question concerns a hypothetical experiment similar to an in-class demo given in class. In this study, subjects are divided into three groups (Groups 1, 2, & 3) and asked to process words in three different ways:

    Group 1: judge whether each word fits a particular sentence context
    Group 2: decide whether each word rhymes with some other word
    Group 3: count the number of letters in each word
    The three groups of subjects are later given a surprise recall task, in which they have to recall as many words as possible.

    Subjects' recall performance in this study would likely be BEST in which group?

    group 1

    Which of the following statements is TRUE about the levels of processing theory?

    It states that semantic (meaning-based) processing of material usually leads to better retention than visual or phonological (sound-based) processing

    In the Karpicke and Blunt (2011) study, four groups of subjects studied a lengthy text in Session 1 and answered verbatim and inference questions about the text a week later (Session 2). The four groups differed only in the way they studied the text in Session 1:

    Group 1 read the text only once
    Group 2 read the text once and then read it again
    Group 3 read the text once and then created a detailed concept map
    Group 4 read the text once and then tried to recall as much information as possible
    Which of the four groups were (i) the MOST confident and (ii) the LEAST confident, respectively, about what they learned from the text at the end of Session 1?

    (i) the most confident = Group 2; (ii) the least confident = Group 4

    In a study conducted by Roediger and Karpicke (2006), two groups of participants tried to learn word pairs (Swahili words and its English counterparts). Group 1 studied a list of word pairs and then studied it again (study-study). Group 2 studied the same list of word pairs and then tried to recall the words (study-test). When the participants' memory of the word pairs was tested later, Group 2 (study-test) outperformed Group 1 (study-study) when their memory was tested _________ after the learning session.

    In the Roediger & Karpicke (2006) study, two groups of participants learned a list of Swahili-English word pairs. One group studied the list twice (study-study). The other group studied the list and then tried to recall words (study-test). The study-test group outperformed the study-study group in their later recall performance when the recall test occurred:

    2 days, 1 week, not 5min

    You studied a list of Spanish words. After resting for about an hour, you studied a list of French words.

    retroactive

    During the 09/05 (TH) class, you participated in a demonstration in which you had to make a series of color and shape judgments (e.g., deciding whether the shape of an object is a circle or a triangle and deciding whether the color of an object is green or red). This demonstration nicely illustrates the idea that switching back and forth between tasks incurs substantial processing costs in terms of both accuracy and speed.

    true

    Although the evidence suggests that engaging in media multitasking negatively affects learning and academic performance, this negative impact is limited to those individuals who actually multitask during learning. Students who can see their peers multitask in a classroom but are not multitasking themselves do NOT experience the same negative impact of multitasking on their learning.

    false
