30
Q

What are the 3 levels?

A
  • Level 1. The Sensory Level
  • Level 2. The Mental Level
  • Level 3. Motivational Level
31
Q

learning requires stimulation and activation of senses such as the visual, auditory, olfactory, kinesthetic, and gustatory. There is nothing in the brain (information) that did not pass through the senses

A

Level 1. The Sensory Level

32
Q

after receiving learning information via the sensory level, these information proceed to the brain for mental processing.

A

Level 2. The Mental Level

33
Q

Learning depends significantly on the sensory and mental mechanisms. However, in order to ensure that learning will succeed, the person has to be motivated and fully engaged in the entire process of learning.

A

Level 3. Motivational Level

34
Q

What are the 3 reasons why stimuli do not proceed to the next level?

A
  • Interference
  • Information decay
  • Lack of Attention
35
Q

no matter how significant or strong the stimulation is, it is only the person who decides and sets himself or herself in terms of attending, focusing, and engaging in learning situations.

A

Lack of Attention

36
Q

weak stimuli that do not reach the sensory threshold tend to diminish and decay even before it reached the brain for further processing.

A

Information decay

37
Q

some other stimuli interfere and distract the encoding process. This usually happens when other stimuli are stronger than the other.

A

Interference

38
Q

There are three levels of memory. What are these?

A
  • Sensory Memory
  • Short-Term Memory
  • Long-Term Memory
39
Q

holds information on a relatively longer period

A

Long-Term Memory

40
Q

holds information tentatively

A

Sensory Memory

41
Q

holds information on a relatively shorter period

A

Short-Term Memory

42
Q

When the senses receive the stimulus from the external environment, it is converted to a sensory impulse, through a process called?

A

encoding

43
Q

This impulse will be transported to the brain for higher processing. The conversion of information from a stimulus to impulse is necessary in order to make them readable by the human brain. This process is called?

A

transduction

44
Q

In the long-term memory, some information may also get lost due to a phenomenon called?

A

forgetting

45
Q

Some information may no longer be retrieved and accessed for use. Forgetting happens due to the following:

A
  • Decay of information due to disuse.
  • Interference: new vs. old information
  • Repression
46
Q

is defined as the purposeful and systematic encoding and re-encoding of the information to memory.

A

Rehearsal

47
Q

if memory is responsible in storing information for future use, ___ is responsible in giving meaning to that information.

A

Comprehension

48
Q

this mental faculty helps us in making quick approximations of value, form, quantity, and quality of any relevant information.

A

Estimation

49
Q

this is our ability to create mental pictures or representations of learning information.

A

Imagination

50
Q

what is the special organ in the human body that lies within the skull?

A

brain

51
Q

The biggest part of the brain is the?

A

cerebral cortex

52
Q

cerebral cortex can be best described using the following principles

A
  • Localization of function
  • Hemispheric Specialization
53
Q

is the largest of the four cortical lobes of the brain. This is located at front part of each hemisphere.

A

Frontal Lobe

54
Q

is located at the back of frontal lobe

A

Parietal Lobe

55
Q

is the visual processing center of the human brain. It is located at the back part of the brain, below the parietal lobe.

A

Occipital Lobe

56
Q

is located behind the ears and extends to the left and right sides of the brain.

A

Temporal Lobe

57
Q

What is in the Left Hemisphere?

A
  • Language functions (speaking, reading, writing, and understanding language)
  • Analytical Functions (mathematics)
  • Right-hand touch
58
Q

What is in the Right Hemisphere?

A
  • Nonverbal abilities (music and art, perceptual and spatio-manipulative skills)
  • Some language comprehension
  • Left-hand touch
59
Q

is truly a marvelous organ in the human body

A

human brain

60
Q

How much does a brain weights?

A

three pounds (3 lbs.)

61
Q

What is/are the function of Frontal Lobe?

A

decision making and executive control.

also responsible for problem-solving, emotional expressions, language, memory, and sexual and social behavior.

62
Q

What is/are the function of Parietal Lobe?

A

processing and interpreting of sensory information that are present in the environment or the outside world.

This lobe has been identified to be important in processing language and numbers.

63
Q

What is/are the function of Occipital Lobe?

A

responsible for visual perception, thus, a damage to this lobe may result into loss of visual capabilities such as identifying colors and partial to total blindness.

64
Q

What is/are the function of Temporal Lobe?

A

shares important functions with the other cortical lobes particularly in language, memory, hearing, and other important cognitive abilities.

65
Q

2 types of experiences

A
  • experiential
  • vicarious
66
Q

specific mental processes are correlated with discrete regions of the brain

A

Localization of function

67
Q

each lobe of the brain has specialized functions

A

Hemispheric Specialization

68
Q

Repression is also known as?

A

voluntary forgetting

69
Q

It starts from gathering of information from the environment, such as sounds, sights, flavor, and odor and these information are called?

A

stimuli

70
Q

information, knowledge, or abilities that are not used for a long time tend to be forgotten

A

decay of information due to disuse

71
Q

some new information tend to overwrite old information

A

interference: new vs. old information
