Factors

The concept of Metacognition primarily falls under which category of learning factors?

• Cognitive

• Socio-Environmental

• Affective

• Physiological

Which affective factor is defined as the emotional barrier that can prevent input from reaching the brain's learning centers, often studied in second language acquisition?

• Retrieval Cue

• Cognitive Load

• Processing Speed

• Affective Filter

Which of the following is considered a cognitive factor that most directly affects a student's ability to link new information to existing knowledge?

• Attitude towards the teacher

• Self-Efficacy

• Intrinsic Motivation

• Prior Knowledge

A student who attributes a poor test grade to a 'lack of effort' instead of 'lack of ability' is demonstrating a positive manifestation of which affective factor?

• Growth Mindset and Attribution Theory

• Extrinsic Motivation

• Learned Helplessness

• Fixed Mindset

Which cognitive factor is best enhanced by techniques like spaced repetition and mnemonic devices?

• Critical Thinking

• Perceptual Fluency

• Working Memory Capacity

• Memory and Retrieval

How does a high level of anxiety (an affective factor) most often impede the cognitive process of learning?

• By enhancing problem-solving speed through increased adrenaline.

• By diverting attention and overloading working memory with task-irrelevant thoughts.

• Anxiety consumes valuable cognitive resources (working memory) with worries and intrusive thoughts, making it harder to process and encode new information.

• By increasing long-term memory capacity.

The student's interest in a topic (e.g., a love for history) is a form of intrinsic motivation. What type of learning factor is intrinsic motivation?

• Cognitive Factor

• Developmental Factor

• Affective Factor

• External Factor

Which pair of factors represents the best example of the direct interaction between a cognitive factor and an affective factor?

• Attention and Motivation

• Teacher's Teaching Style and Student's Age

• Motor Skills and Social Status

• Classroom Lighting and Heredity

In the context of learning, Cognitive Overload is a direct result of exceeding the capacity of which cognitive component?

• Working Memory

• Perception

• Long-Term Memory

• Sensory Register

An example of a student's affective learning goal would be to:

• Successfully apply a complex mathematical formula to a novel problem.

• curately recall all 10 items in a list

• Develop a greater appreciation and sense of value for historical events.

• Increase their ability to focus attention for 30 continuous minutes.
