Answer to Question 1

B
Active learning, including having to actively seek information and collaborating with others, is consistent with cognitive learning theories.
Having students unlearn old knowledge would be consistent with behaviorist theories.
Detailed lectures and handouts are most consistently aligned with behaviorist theory.
Having students do heavy reading on their own might be part of a cognitive theory-based class, but there is not enough detail about the learning process to make this answer correct.

Answer to Question 2

C
Cognitive theories detail active engagement in learning while designing activities that link new knowledge to old. A learning-centered environment would fit this description.
Behaviorist theory includes presenting material from simple to complex with minimal learner engagement. This would be best observed in lectures.
Change theories are most often used in patient teaching and include assessing readiness to learn and recognizing that changes must be congruent with the patient's values.
Humanistic theory would encourage students to set their own goals for the learning experience.
