Before starting, what are your main study techniques? (write in English)

What is the brain area where new concepts are temporarily encoded?

• Frontal Lobe

• Cerebellum

• Amygdala

• Hippocampus

Which study method allows you to more accurately estimate what you actually know?

• Highlighting notes

• Listening to lectures

• Rereading textbooks

• Testing yourself with flashcards

What is the hypothesis behind why interleaving (mixing) different subjects during study sessions works?

• It leads to sleep deprivation

• It forces the brain to temporarily forget and retrieve information

• It confuses the brain

• It strengthens short-term memory

What is the brain area involved in storing long-term knowledge?

• Amygdala

• Neocortex

• Cerebellum

• Hippocampus

Which study technique involves mixing the deck with multiple subjects when using flashcards?

• Chunking

• Recall Practice

• Spacing

• Interleaving

What is the process that allows new knowledge to be integrated with existing information during sleep?

• Memory Forgetting

• Memory Retrieval

• Memory Encoding

• Memory Consolidation

• Group with longer training hours

• Group with shorter training hours

• Group that crammed training in a single day

• Group that spread training over four weeks

What is theorized to happen when making mistakes while trying to recall answers?

• It has no impact on learning

• It leads to confusion

• It activates relevant pieces of knowledge

• It weakens memory
