• Affectation
• Cognition
• Metacognition

Question 4: When participating in discussion boards for your online classes, you should

• Focus on quick replies rather than accurate replies.
• Proofread each submission carefully.
• Use texting abbreviations.
• Stick to your position no matter what.

Question 5: In the digital age we have

• Less time to absorb and make sense of new information.
• Fewer ways to learn than we did before the digital age.
• Mentally become narrower and deeper rather than wider and shallower.
• Great difficulty accessing quality information.

Question 6: The Confluence learning pattern is associated with

• Organizing and completing school assignments.
• Finding relevant information and answering questions.
• Private development of answers to real-world problems.
• Developing ideas and taking risks.

Question 7: The impact of digital technology has

• Not been widespread among the general population.
• Had less impact than past technological innovations.
• Slowed in recent years.
• Had a strong effect on how we learn.

Question 8: According to the Let Me Learn system as presented in Figure 1.1, which of the following sequences is correct?

• Brain-mind-interface, sense stimuli, mind, brain
• Brain-mind-interface, sense stimuli, brain, mind
• Sense stimuli, brain-mind interface, brain, mind
• Sense stimuli, brain, brain-mind interface, mind

Question 9: The Let Me Learn system is based primarily on

• Principles of neuro-linguistic programming.
• Right brain/left brain studies.
• Research of the brain-mind interface.
• Insights from ancient greek philosophers.

Question 10: In the Let Me Learn system, the brain is associated with

• Conscious actions.
• Thought processes.
• Processing stimuli.
• Human consciousness.

Question 11: Education in the early twentieth century focused primarily on

• Learning proper English.
• Questioning authority.
• Developing critical-thinking skills.
• Memorizing facts.

Question 12: According to researchers, multitasking

• Is an important skill that college students should acquire.
• Allows people to get more done in less time.
• Enhances the functioning of working memory.
• Results in less efficient learning.

Question 13: Today learning

• Occurs both in school and in the "real world."
• Has been distilled to a simple two-step process.
• Requires either a smart phone or laptop computer.
• Is essentially the same as it was a hundred years ago.

Question 14: Roger Sperry's right brain/left brain concept

• Is limited in scope and was discovered during a study of epilepsy.
• Replaced the concept of brain function as the coordination of all brain sectors.
• Was specifically used to validate the views of "divisions of the mind" proponents.
• Is the basis for neuro-linguistic programming.

Question 15: The efficient functioning of working memory is increased by

• The sequential engagement of cognition, conation, and affectation.
• Lower levels of mindfulness during the learning process.
• Selecting between relevant information and irrelevant information and storing relevant information for retrieval.
• Decreased incubation of thought.

Question 16: The four learning patterns of the brain-mind interface

• Are present only in women in that men lack the confluence pattern.
• Each allow the same amount of stimuli to pass through to the working memory.
• Vary substantially from person to person.
• Occur in this specific order: sequence, precision, technical reasoning, confluence.

Question 17: Learning is most likely to empower you and enhance your life when

• You have the latest digital technology and know how to use it.
• Your mind is prepared and ready to learn.
• You've discovered how to minimize stress.
• You have the support of friends and family for your education endeavors.

Question 18: Of the four learning patterns, _______________ is primarily involved with problem solving.

• Precision
• Technical Reasoning
• Confluence
• Sequence

Question 19: Once stimuli are in the brain, they are processed by

• The right brain only.
• The left brain only.
• The cerebral cortex only.
• All sectors of the brain.

Question 20: A mindful student

• Uses only one learning pattern at a time.
• Has decreased function of working memory.
• Intentionally focuses on one task.
• Is good at doing two or more things at once.
