Select the following true statements about sleep (according to the video lectures). - correct answer
-Sleep, which can sometimes seem like SUCH a waste of time—is actually your brain's way of keeping
itself clean and healthy.
-Taking a test without getting enough sleep means you are operating with a brain that's got metabolic
toxins floating around in it—poisons that make it so you can't think very clearly. It's kind of like trying to
drive a car that's got sugar in its gas tank—doesn't work too well!
You are sitting down to do your homework. You work along, successfully solving the problems. But you
then come across a problem that is more difficult. After spending fifteen minutes working on it, you
begin to find yourself growing frustrated. What is the single most reasonable next option for you to take
in order for you to make progress towards the solution? - correct answer -Do
something to switch your attention away from the problem you are trying to solve.
elect the following true statements about memory according to the information provided in the videos. -
correct answer -To help with moving something into long term memory, use a
technique called "spaced repetition." This technique involves repeating what you are trying to retain,
but what you want to do is to space this repetition out—repeating a new vocabulary word or problem-
solving technique, for example, over a number of days.
-Working memory is the part of memory that has to do with what you are immediately and consciously
processing in your mind.
-Your working memory is centered within the prefrontal cortex, although there are also connections to
other parts of your brain so you can access long-term memories.
The following actions help enable the focused mode (check all that apply): - correct answer
-Ensuring that you plan rewards for yourself after periods of focused attention.
-Setting a timer and "doing a Pomodoro."
, Which of the following statements are true about chunks and/or chunking? - correct answer
-Basically, as outlined in this course, a chunk means a network of neurons that are used to firing
together, so you can think a thought or perform an action smoothly and effectively.
-Mastering a new subject means learning not only the basic chunks, but also learning how to select and
use different chunks.
Select the following true statements about thinking and learning: - correct answer -
To figure out new ideas and solve problems, it's often important not only to focus initially, but also to
subsequently turn our focus away from what we want to learn, so that we can use other, more diffuse
ways to process the new information.
-Our brain uses two very different processes for thinking—the focused and diffuse modes. You generally
toggle back and forth between these modes, using one or the other.
Select the following true statements, as taught in this course, regarding the concept of "understanding."
- correct answer -Just understanding how a problem was solved does NOT
necessarily create a chunk that you can easily call to mind later. (That's part of why you can grasp an
idea when a teacher presents it in class, but if you don't review it fairly soon after you've first learned it,
it can seem incomprehensible when it comes time to prepare for a test.)
-Understanding is like a superglue that helps hold the underlying memory traces together.
Check the following true statements regarding illusions of competence in learning, as described in the
videos. - correct answer -Merely glancing at a solution and thinking you truly know
it yourself is one of the most common illusions of competence in learning.
-Recall—simply looking away from the material and attempting to recall the main ideas—is a more
effective study technique than rereading the material.
Check the following true statements regarding the concept of recall. - correct answer
-A helpful way to make sure you're learning, and not fooling yourself with illusions of competence, is to
TEST yourself on what you're learning. In some sense, that's what recall is actually doing—allowing you
to see whether or not you really grasped an idea.
