SoL Overview Revision

What is the key phrase that defines learning in terms of long-term memory?

• Manipulating in a way that
• Reading and hearing something
• Successfully doing something once
• Memorizing new information

Which of the following statements is NOT true about long-term memory, according to the text?

• Long-term memory is fluid and affected by many factors.
• Successfully doing something once guarantees future success.
• Engaging, creative projects can sometimes store the wrong information in long-term memory.
• Reading or hearing something does not mean it will end up in long-term memory.

How is study distinguished from learning?

• Study only focuses on reading.
• Study involves working independently and after the first introduction to new information.
• Study eliminates the need for long-term memory.
• Study focuses only on memorizing facts.

According to the text, which of the following should NOT be done while introducing new information?

• Minimize the amount of new information until it's encoded into long-term memory.
• Connect new information to existing prior knowledge.
• Overload students with new content to accelerate learning.
• Use retrieval practice while introducing new material.

Why is working memory a critical concern when introducing new information?

• It can store unlimited amounts of information.
• It is very limited and can be easily overloaded.
• It directly stores information into long-term memory.
• It improves if students switch between multiple tasks.

The “I Do, We Do, You Do” method emphasizes all of the following EXCEPT:

• Independent practice after scaffolded learning.
• Testing for understanding during the 'We Do' phase.
• Immediate far transfer tasks before near transfer is established.
• Introducing new information without overloading working memory.

Which activity is classified as far transfer in the 'You Do' stage?

• Repeating previously modeled activities.
• Group work where students independently apply prior knowledge to novel situations.
• Answering direct questions with similar components to previous exercises.
• Memorizing information through retrieval practice.

Which of the following is an example of negative impacts on working memory?

• Organizing tasks on a paper notebook.
• Switching frequently between multiple tabs and receiving constant notifications.
• Working in a quiet, distraction-free environment.
• Taking breaks to interleave between subjects.

What is interleaving, and how can it help prevent fatigue during learning?

• Switching constantly between different devices to stay mentally alert.
• Alternating between different subjects or activities to prevent mental exhaustion.
• Working on the same task for long periods of time to focus attention.
• Taking long breaks between tasks to recharge working memory.

Which factor is most likely to impede learning and study according to the text?

• Structured group work
• Regular feedback and assessments
• Background chatter and constant distractions
• Use of retrieval practice and scaffolds
