Cognitive process that involves learning or remembering specific information or skills in more or less the same form in which they were initially presented.
What is Lower-level cognitive process?
100
Process of checking oneself to verify understanding and memory of newly acquired information
What is Comprehension monitoring?
100
Phenomenon in which something a person has learned at one time affects how the person learns or performs in a later situation
What is Transfer?
100
Using existing knowledge and skills to address an unanswered question or troubling situation
What is Problem solving?
100
New and original behavior that yields a productive and culturally appropriate result.
What is Creativity?
200
Cognitive process that involves going well beyond something specifically learned (e.g., by analyzing, applying or evaluating it).
What is Higher-level Cognitive process?
200
Thinking that one knows something that one actually does not know
What is Illusion of knowing?
200
Instance of transfer in which the original learning task and the transfer task overlap in content.
What is Specific transfer?
200
Inclination to encode a problem in a way that excludes potential solutions
What is Mental set?
200
Process of moving mentally in a variety of directions from a single idea.
What is Divergent thinking?
300
One or more cognitive processes used intentionally for a particular learning task
What is Learning strategy?
300
Process of occasionally stopping to verbalize to oneself (and hence to better understand) material being read or studied
What is Self-explanation?
300
Phenomenon in which something learned at one time interferes with learning or performance at a later time.
What is Negative transfer?
300
Problem in which the desired goal is unclear, some information needed to solve the problem is missing, and/or several possible solutions to the problem exist.
What is an Ill-defined problem?
300
Question that requires students to use previously learned information in a new way – that is, to engage in higher-level cognitive processes
What is a Higher-level question?
400
Knowledge and beliefs about the nature of human cognitive processes (including one’s own), as well as conscious attempts to engage in behaviors and thought processes that increase learning and memory.
What is Metacognition?
400
Process of asking oneself questions as a way of checking understanding of a topic
What is Self-questioning?
400
Phenomenon in which something learned at one time facilitates learning or performance at a later time
What is Positive transfer?
400
Prescribed sequence of steps that guarantees a correct problem solution.
What is an Algorithm?
400
Process of evaluating the accuracy, credibility, and worth of information and lines of reasoning.
What is Critical thinking?
500
Learning strategy that involves only mental activity and thus isn’t reflected in a learner’s observable behavior (e.g., forming a visual image of a new concept)
What is Covert strategy?
500
Belief about the nature of knowledge or knowledge acquisition
What is Epistemic belief?
500
Instance of transfer in which the original learning task and the transfer task are different in content.
What is General transfer?
500
General strategy that facilitates problem solving but doesn’t always yield a solution.
What is Heuristic?
500
Process of pulling together several pieces of information to draw a conclusion or solve a problem.
