Describe the Baker/baker theory.

What is sleep deprivation.
An example from a class of using interleaving practice.
Any example that demonstrates an understanding of mixing topics during each study session.
The name of the executive function that refers to learning about how you learn, or thinking about how you think.
Metacognition
The difference between focus and diffuse mode.
Focus mode is when you are closely attending to something you are learning, working in one part of your brain, while diffuse mode allows your brain to wander to other areas of the brain and build connections to what you are learning.
The name for a learning device that aids in supporting retrieval through building associations. An example would be PEMDAS.
Mnemonic Devices
The reason you should do a brain dump when you get a test.
A brain dump can help you to get down facts or make notes around things that feel slippery in your mind. It is a great place to give yourself reminders.
The definition of elaborative interrogation.
is a specific method of elaboration. The word interrogation means to question. So, when you use elaborative interrogation, you ask yourself questions about how and why things work, and then produce the answers to these questions (1). The specific questions that you ask yourself will depend, in part, on the topics you are studying (e.g., how does x work? Why does x happen? When did x happen? What caused x? What is the result of x? and so on).
The age that a person's prefrontal cortex is considered fully formed?

The strategy of the Six Strategies of Effective learning really refers to the way you plan your study.
Spaced practice
The strategy of the Six Strategies of Effective Learning that involves recalling from memory what you learn after a time delay.
Retrieval practice
According to the School Hacks syllabus, the one required part of the course.
Keeping a planner
