In the information processing model, brains are described as similar to _____________.

• textbooks

• computers

• an assembly line

• a well-oiled machine

Which of the following represents one possible path through the memory processing procedures?

• Sensory memory, working memory, episodic buffer, long term memory

• Visuospatial sketchpad, working memory, central executive, long term memory

• Sensory memory, episodic buffer, long term memory, implicit memory

• Visuospatial sketchpad, central executive, explicit memory, working memory

Seven plus or minus two is the number of pieces of information the average person can hold in their __________.

• sensory memory

• explicit memory

• implicit memory

• working memory

Being able to type quickly and accurately without focusing on the task is a type of _______________ memory.

• semantic

• episodic

• priming

• procedural

Select all of the following that are true statements.

• Pupillary response can be used to measure cognitive load.

• Cognitive load is most relevant to students in math and science classes.

• Those who experience poverty have higher cognitive loads.

• By the time they reach college, students can be expected to manage their own cognitive loads.

Teachers have the least control over which type of cognitive load:

• Intrinsic

• Germane

• Extraneous

Which type of cognitive load is associated with the learning process and the development of automated schema?

• Intrinsic

• Extraneous

• Germane

A teacher's approach to applying cognitive load to their practice can best be summarized as:

• Minimizing extraneous load, maximizing intrinsic load, and managing germane load.

• Managing extraneous load, individualizing intrinsic load, and minimizing germane load.

• Minimizing extraneous load, managing intrinsic load, and individualizing germane load.

• Managing extraneous load, minimizing intrinsic load, and minimizing germane load.

Cognitive load is directly related to space in which type of memory?

• Long term memory

• Working memory

• Sensory memory

• Procedural memory

Not all students or ages of people have the same cognitive load capabilities. For example, select all statements that are true:

• Exposing children to academic information in their home environments is not beneficial to their learning because it makes their cognitive loads too heavy.

• The latest generation of students has grown up with better cognitive load management skills because of their exposure to new technologies and social media.

• Children have high cognitive loads because they lack experience with common knowledge, which decreases their information processing time.

• The declining memory in the elderly increases their cognitive load thereby decreasing their control over their balance.
