A biology teacher wants students to remember the various components of a cell (nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane).
Considering what psychologists have learned about storage and retrieval, the teacher would be well advised to help students encode information about the cell:
a. Primarily in a visual form, because visual images usually remain vivid in memory for a long period of time
b. Primarily in a verbal form, because language underlies much of human learning
c. In both visual and verbal forms
d. In a relatively unencoded form for a few days, to allow for greater flexibility in encoding later on
Question 2
Which one of the following teaching strategies best illustrates many educational psychologists' belief that, in some situations, less is more?
a. Provide a general overview of a topic before discussing it in depth.
b. Present general ideas about a topic but minimize the use of supporting details.
c. Teach fewer topics, but teach each one more thoroughly.
d. Teach classroom material in short intervals of time, with lessons typically lasting 30 minutes at the most.
