Your sensory memory includes
- A.
Touch (haptic memory)
- B.
Sound (echoic memory)
- C.
Sight (iconic memory)
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
The correct answer is "all of the above" because sensory memory refers to the initial stage of memory where information from our senses is briefly stored. It includes touch (haptic memory), sound (echoic memory), and sight (iconic memory). These sensory memories are very brief and only last for a few seconds before they are either forgotten or transferred to short-term memory. Therefore, all three types of sensory memory are included in our sensory memory system.Rate this question:

If you are an active reader, you might
- A.
Read the book three times
- B.
Highlight while you read
- C.
Think about the reading
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Highlight while you readExplanation
The correct answer is "highlight while you read" because it suggests an active reading approach where the reader engages with the text by marking important points or passages. This method helps in better comprehension and retention of the material. Reading the book three times or thinking about the reading are also strategies that can aid in active reading, but the answer "highlight while you read" specifically addresses the action of highlighting as a means of active engagement with the text.Rate this question:

What advice is least helpful to increase your attention when it wanders?
- A.
Ignore the distraction.
- B.
Turn off the TV.
- C.
Turn down the music.
- D.
Close the extra windows on your browser.
Correct Answer
A. Ignore the distraction.Explanation
Ignoring the distraction is the least helpful advice to increase attention when it wanders because by ignoring the distraction, you are not actively addressing or dealing with it. Ignoring the distraction may actually make it more difficult to regain focus and attention. It is more effective to acknowledge the distraction and find ways to minimize or eliminate it, such as turning off the TV, turning down the music, or closing extra windows on your browser.Rate this question:

A useful way to remember what you read is to
- A.
Read extra slowly.
- B.
Skim quickly.
- C.
Take notes in your own words.
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
C. Take notes in your own words.Explanation
Taking notes in your own words is a useful way to remember what you read because it requires active engagement with the material. When you summarize and rephrase the information in your own words, you are processing and understanding it on a deeper level. This helps to reinforce your memory and comprehension of the content. Additionally, the act of writing down the information can also serve as a visual and kinesthetic memory aid. Reading extra slowly and skimming quickly may not be as effective in retaining information as they do not involve active processing or engagement with the material. Therefore, taking notes in your own words is the most effective strategy for remembering what you read.Rate this question:

- C.
Pulling an all-nighter/study non-stop
- D.
Paying attention to details/aiming for accuracy
Correct Answer
C. Pulling an all-nighter/study non-stopExplanation
Pulling an all-nighter or studying non-stop is not a helpful study strategy. While it may seem like a good idea to cram as much information as possible in a short amount of time, research has shown that this method is ineffective for long-term retention and can lead to exhaustion and burnout. It is important to take regular breaks to rest and recharge, as well as to switch between subjects to maintain focus and prevent boredom. Paying attention to details and aiming for accuracy are beneficial study strategies that can enhance understanding and retention of information.Rate this question:

- C.

Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Being credit savvy means having knowledge and understanding about credit cards. One aspect of being credit savvy is recognizing that a credit card is essentially a type of loan. Credit cards typically have high interest rates, meaning that if you don't pay off your balance in full each month, you will be charged interest on the remaining balance. Additionally, credit cards are considered short term loans because they allow you to borrow money for a short period of time, typically on a monthly basis. Therefore, the statement that a credit card is a high interest, short term loan is true.Rate this question:

True

How much interest is paid on a credit card debt of $3,000, at 18% interest, $100 per month for 41 months?
- A.
$595
- B.
$1065
- C.
$1017
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. $1017Explanation
The correct answer is $1017. To calculate the interest paid on the credit card debt, we can use the formula: Interest = Principal x Rate x Time. In this case, the principal is $3,000, the rate is 18% (or 0.18), and the time is 41 months. Therefore, the interest paid can be calculated as: $3,000 x 0.18 x 41 = $1,026. However, since the monthly payments of $100 are reducing the principal, the interest paid will be slightly less than $1,026. The closest option is $1017.Rate this question:
