UTS Module 6 - Learning to be a better student Flashcards
This plays critical role in controlling the body and facilitating learning
The brain
The brain is divided into _______?
The forebrain, the midbrain, and the hindbrain.
The outermost layer found in the forebrain is the _______?
Cortex
The cortex is further divided into. . . ?
The left and right cerebral hemispheres
This hemisphere controls the right hand, your spoken and written language, reading, analysis of detail, logical processes, and mathematical calculations.
The Left hemisphere
This hemisphere controls the left hand, nonverbal language, visual-spatial perception, music and artistic processing, emotional thought and recognition, gestalt processes, facial recognition
The Right hemisphere
Connecting the two hemispheres is the. . . ?
Corpus Callosum
The central hemisphere is divided into four sections or lobes, called . . . ?
Frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital
This lobe performs the executive functions, thinking, planning, organizing, problem solving, emotions, personality.
Frontal
This lobe is responsible for auditory processing, language comprehension, speech, and memory
Temporal
This lobe is responsible for perception, intelligence, reasoning, makin sense of the world, language, sensation, reading
Parietal
This lobe is reponsible for visual perception and interpretation
Occipital
A behavioral psychologist that theorized the two types of behaviors. Who is the psychologist and what are the two types?
B.F. Skinner. The two types are respondent and operant behavior.
This behavior is an automatic, involuntary response to a stimulus, such as sneezing when there is dust.
Respondent behavior
This other concept is spontaneously acted out behavior in an environment to affect change in it. Unlike respondent behavior, this one is learned and voluntary.
Operant behavior
A famous experiment on respondent behavior involving a dog and food (stimulus) was conducted by. . . ?
Ivan Pavlov
Ivan Pavlov called his work the theory of. . . ?
The Theory of Classical Conditioning
Classical Conditioning can be divided into three processes, those being
Unconditioned response, conditioning, and conditioned response
In simple terms, this means thinking about the way you are thinking
Metacognition
Metacognition involves two processes, what are they?
The first is knowledge of cognition, know the factors that will help you perform better in your studies. Identify different strategies and know when to use them appropriately. The second is the regulation of this cognition, plan and decide on the level you intend to achieve. Monitor how you are learning and take control of it, then evaluate your regulation process.
This learning technique generates your own explanation for why an explicitly stated fact or concept is true.
Elaborative Interrogation (moderate)
Explaining how new information is related to new information or explaining steps taken during problem solving
Self-explanation (Moderate)
Writing summaries of the text to be learned
Summarization (Low)
Marking potentially important portions of the materials while reading
Highlighting/Underlining (Low)
Using keywords to associate verbal materials
Keyword mnemonic (Low)
Forming mental images of text materials
Imagery for text (low)
Restudying text materials again after an initialreading
Rereading (Low)
Self-testing or taking practice tests over the to-be-learned material
Practice testing (High)
Implementing a schedule of practice that spreads out study activities over time
Distributed Practice (High)
Implementing a schedule of practice that mixes different kinds of problems, or a schedule of study that combines different types of material within a single study session
Interleaved Practice (Moderate)
According to this person, generating thoughts, feelings, and behaviors towards attaining your goals, manifests self-regulation.
Zimmerman (2000)
The process of regulation involves three cyclical phases
Forethought, performance, and self-reflection
In this phase, when you first set goals and strategically plan before you embark on learning something new, you have already begun your cycle of self reflection,.
The forethought phase
In the performance phase, behavioral implementation will call for self-control and self-observation. The techniques identified by Dunlosky will be applicable so the effective learning takes place.
The performance phase
This last phase includes processes you undertake after learning something, evaluation and assessment, which helps determine if you were on the right track of learning.
Self-evaluation
