School Related Stressors
Does anxiety related to oral production in class trigger the amygdala to send input to the lower, reactive brain?
Yes, this is a school related stressor
True or False: Patterning refers to the brain's meaningful categorization and organization of sensory data based on relationships or commonalites.
Yes! True (McTighe & Willis, 2019, p. 8)
True or False: Schmidt is the primary theorist for attention that is focused on in Ellis's chapter.
True
What kind of behavior do these school-related stressors potentially result in?
Acting out or zoning out behaviors
True or False: The clusters of related information are called puzzle patterns.
False. They are called cognitive frameworks or schemas; named by Jean Piaget in 1957.
Name one of the six characteristics of attention
Attention is limited, Attention is selective, Attention is subject to voluntary control, attention controls access to consciousness, attention is essential for the control of action, attention is essential for learning (ellis, 2015, p. 182)
Do feelings of isolation or lack of acceptance trigger amygdalae response?
Yes, this is a school-related stressor
What do patterns help humans (and other animals) do?
Patterning helps brains predict and to retrieve information more efficiently. (McTighe & Willis, 2019, p. 9)
The main difference between Schmidt's Noticing Hypothesis and Tomlin and Villa's Theory of Attention is...
For Tomlin and Villa, attention can be unconscious. For Smith, attention is conscious.
Does the inability to manage academic and extra curricular responsibilities (jobs, chores, etc.) trigger the amygdala to send a message to the reactive brain?
Yes, this is a school related stressor
True or False: Making correct predictions does not trigger a dopamine response.
False, "Making correct predictions is one of the strongest dopamine elevators" (McTighe & Willis, 2019, p. 10)
True or False: Detection is the cognitive registration of information in short-term memory.
True. (Ellis, 2015, p. 184)
True or False: Student responses to these triggers are completely involuntary lower-brain responses.
True
What does prediction have to do with literacy, numeracy and appropriate social-emotional behavior?
The ability to predict is a foundation for all of these skills. (McTighe & Willis, 2019, p. 9)
Another important element of attention is rehearsal. What theorist names this and what are the two types of rehearsal?
Rehearsal is theorized by Robinson (2003) and the two types are maintenance rehearsal and elaborative rehearsal.
