  • 2. 

    According  to Rothbart & Posner (2015), what is the meaning of attention?

    • Attention improves cognitive processing for many tasks, from hitting a baseball to reading a book, or adding numbers.

    • Children can pay attention to only a limited amount of information .

    • They labelled these types of allocation.

    Correct Answer
    A. Attention improves cognitive processing for many tasks, from hitting a baseball to reading a book, or adding numbers.
  • 3. 

    At age 3, children assume that mental states are the cope of reality rather than the representation of reality. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    At age 3, children tend to believe that their thoughts and beliefs are an accurate reflection of reality. They do not yet fully understand that mental states can be separate from the actual world and can be influenced by personal perspectives and biases. This suggests that they have not yet developed a fully mature understanding of the distinction between subjective thoughts and objective reality. Therefore, the statement "At age 3, children assume that mental states are the cope of reality rather than the representation of reality" is true.

    There are 4 types of memory encoding which is visual encoding, acoustic encoding, semantic encoding and elaborative encoding.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because there are indeed 4 types of memory encoding. Visual encoding involves encoding information based on its visual characteristics, such as images or colors. Acoustic encoding involves encoding information based on its sound or auditory characteristics. Semantic encoding involves encoding information based on its meaning and association with other knowledge. Elaborative encoding involves encoding information by actively relating it to existing knowledge and making it personally meaningful.

    Which of the following is the theory of forgetting? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is the theory of forgetting?

    • Baddeley's Working Model

    • Inteference & Decay Theory 

    • Decay and Proactive Inteference Theory

    • Atkinson- Shiffrin Model

    Correct Answer
    A. Inteference & Decay Theory 
    Explanation
    The theory of forgetting is interference and decay theory. This theory suggests that forgetting occurs due to interference from other memories or due to the decay of memory traces over time. Interference theory proposes that forgetting happens when new information interferes with the retrieval of previously learned information. Decay theory suggests that forgetting occurs when memory traces fade or weaken over time if they are not used or reinforced.

    A model of the learning process with human memory has four parts which are strategies, content knowledge, motivation and metacognition. These refer to

    • Strategies and metacognitive regulation

    • The good information process-processing model

    • Developmental changes

    • Theory of metacognition

    Correct Answer
    A. The good information process-processing model
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The good information process-processing model." This model includes the four parts mentioned in the question: strategies, content knowledge, motivation, and metacognition. It suggests that effective learning involves using appropriate strategies, having relevant content knowledge, being motivated to learn, and being aware of and regulating one's own thinking and learning processes.

    How many types of attention?

    • 2

    • 3

    • 4

    • 6

    Correct Answer
    A. 4
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 4 because there are four main types of attention: selective attention, sustained attention, divided attention, and alternating attention. Selective attention refers to the ability to focus on a specific stimulus while ignoring others. Sustained attention is the ability to maintain focus on a task over a prolonged period of time. Divided attention is the ability to multitask and pay attention to multiple stimuli simultaneously. Alternating attention is the ability to switch between tasks or stimuli efficiently.

    The two main dimensions of one model of adaptive expertise are

    • Innovation

    • New situations

    • Efficiency

    • Fixed routine.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Innovation
    A. Efficiency
    Explanation
    The two main dimensions of one model of adaptive expertise are innovation and efficiency. Adaptive expertise refers to the ability to apply knowledge and skills to new and changing situations. Innovation involves being creative and finding new ways to solve problems or improve processes. Efficiency, on the other hand, focuses on optimizing performance and achieving goals with minimal waste of time and resources. These two dimensions work together to enable individuals to adapt and excel in various contexts.

    Achieving expertise requires these criteria except

    • Deliberate practice 

    • Motivation

    • Time

    • Talent

    Correct Answer
    A. Time
    Explanation
    To achieve expertise, one needs deliberate practice, motivation, and talent. However, time is not a criterion for achieving expertise. While time is certainly a factor in gaining experience and improving skills, it is not the determining factor for expertise. Expertise is primarily developed through deliberate practice, which involves focused and intentional efforts to improve specific skills or knowledge. Motivation and talent also play important roles in the process. Therefore, time alone does not guarantee expertise.
