How students learn - retrieval starter

What is the main function of working memory?

• To temporarily hold and manipulate information for cognitive tasks.
• To store long-term memories permanently.
• To retrieve memories from the sensory register.
• To encode information into the brain.

Which of the following is not an element of a rigorous classroom, according to Sherrington?

• Subject expertise

• Classroom Management

• The Spiral Curriculum

• Pedagogy and Drive

The two pathways for sensory information to be processed in working memory are...

• Situational

• Auditory

• Visual

• Impulsive

Metacognition means...

• thinking deeply

• thinking about thinking

• thinking metaphorically

• thinking with only 10% of your brain

What is the does retrieval practice involve?

• The transfer of information from sensory memory to working memory.
• The transformation of short-term memories into long-term memories.
• The recovery of stored information from long-term memory to working memory.
• The encoding of new information into long-term memory.

What is the role of attention in memory encoding?

• Attention determines the level of emotional significance attached to a memory.
• Attention filters and selects information for further processing and storage.
• Attention is responsible for the consolidation of memories during sleep.
• Attention determines the retrieval cues used to access stored memories.

What is the role of a schema in memory processing?

• A schema helps in organizing and categorizing new information.

• The schema is responsible for the formation of long-term memories.

• A schema is involved in the retrieval of memories from the sensory register.

• A schema determines the attentional processes in memory encoding.

Which type of memory is associated with motor skills and habits?

• Procedural memory
• Semantic memory
• Episodic memory
• Explicit memory

What is the role of rehearsal in memory consolidation?

• Rehearsal helps make sense of memories from long-term storage.

• Rehearsal enhances the transfer of information from sensory memory to working memory.
• Rehearsal strengthens and stabilizes memories in long-term storage.
• Rehearsal determines the encoding process of new information into memory.

Chunking is a process based on:

• Taking individual bits of information and grouping them so that they are easier to recall

• Categorising animals based upon their habitat

• Something to do with long-term memory

• A theory of short-term memory discovered by Herman Ebbinghaus
