A

Answer to Question 2

A learning strategy is a plan that the learner formulates in advance of engaging a learning task. It specifies what will be done to achieve the learning goal, where it will be done, and when it will be done. The part of the strategy that specifies what will be done involves the selection and use of tactics. Learning tactics can be roughly classified as memory-oriented or comprehension-oriented. Memory-oriented tactics include rehearsal and mnemonic devices. Mnemonic devices are far superior to rote rehearsal because they produce meaningful encodings of information and cues that allow for reliable, verbatim retrieval. Comprehension-oriented tactics include self- and peer-questioning and concept mapping.
