Q1- I missed question 1 due to the fact that I debated between A and D because both are registered forms of memory, I ended up picking D because it was her present memory. I figured present memory and working memory were similar things and since the student was day dreaming that it had nothing to do with her sensory memory but rather her working memory, due to the fact that other thoughts were occupying her mind at the time. I now realize that sensory memory is a present stimulus that retains information at the present time. This answer makes more sense now that I reviewed the definition.
Q6- I essentially debated between B and D, ended up picking B because the outline method as far as I was informed was a chunking method. Now that I read the answers again the method of picking a large set of numbers and breaking it up makes more sense because that is more obvious form of chunking, I over thought the question essentially making myself over analyze the answer.
Q8- I missed this question totally, I was off base and could not remember what higher order thinking was to save my life. I looked up the definition of higher-order thinking and it applies directly to Bloom's Taxonomy, it involves multiple levels of cognitive thinking and application including analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. The answer that is correct applies this directly with the teacher's question and makes more sense as far as the application process of higher order thinking with the assimilation of asking that type of question.
Q9- I actually sat and debated between the two answers that were correct and the one I missed. I did not think that it would be the obvious answer containing the slang language and that it would have to an education application type of answer. I was wrong, it was too much thought and reading into the question and answers and thinking things could not be that apparent to be the answer.
Q13- I missed this one because I didn't know the idea of misconception very well. I thought that by contradicting the knowledge that was already present that would complicate the student's existing thoughts on the topic. However, the contradiction process makes more sense now because that is destroying any existing ideas about a topic and forcing students' to be able to build new ideas. I still don't quite understand this topic and will have to review it according to the chapter.
Q16- I missed this due to the fact that I have always seemed to struggle with determining where students are at between the Concrete Operations and Formal Operations stages. I debated this question between those two answers, I decided on C because the example that was given I figured was a high school but now reading the question again I realize no specific information is given about James' age or where the conversation is taking place. The Formal Operations answer makes more sense because the topic of conversation and the extent of his argument offer stable answers that have been solidified.
Q19- Moral reasoning was the area that was a little vague to me as I was studying it, I debated heavily between these two answers and the one I picked seemed to force the student to make a choice about his behavior. Force is not the answer to forcing the decision of moral behavior, whether providing the negative behavior and showing how it applies to others based on someone's decisions affecting others.
I seemed to struggle with this test more than the first one, I studied more but due to the fact that I missed one of the lectures. I also struggle with the application of theories and ideas when it comes to answers that are somewhat related, I have always struggled with tests and Psychology. I have made an effort post-test to re-read the chapters and to apply more in depth thoughts when it comes to my study guides. I seem to also procrastinate the fact that I need to study for a test and not do it the night before. I am preparing myself more for this final than the previous tests and making sure that I know the concepts better and be able to apply the personal application. I think this next test will be better for the fact that I will have listened to the podcasts from last year's lectures and re-read the chapters and thought more heavily about the topics that are applied.
