Provide your own definition of "Declarative Knowledge"
Knowledge of facts, definitions, procedures and rules.

Younger students are equally as efficient at performing complex tasks as older students. True or false?
False, older students automatically process information that is still part of a young child's procedural knowledge
100
How do experiences effect memory?
The more experiences one has, the more memories will be stored.
200
The memory for concepts, principles, and the relationships among them is…?
Semantic memory
200
What is the knowledge of how to perform tasks?
Procedural knowledge

How could a teacher use a student's episodic memories to their advantage?
By incorporating an episodic memory into a new topic, more neural connections are formed, making it easier for the student to remember.
200
How does age effect memory?
Age may or may not mean someone has more memories. It is dependent on their experiences
300
Give an example of an episodic memory
*Any memory from their own personal experience*

Conditional Knowledge is the knowledge of _____ and _____ to use declarative and procedural knowledge.
When and where

How could a teacher of both younger and older students find a way to make the same content new and meaningful for both learners?
Start by addressing overall topic, and allowing the older student to either teach the younger student or give them an extension of that topic.

Given the mnemonic device "ROYGBIV", how do we as learners know what this means?
Schemas: we learn this in elementary school to remember the order of colors in a rainbow
Declarative: this is a fact and can easily be recalled
400
Haw are schemas related to long-term memory?
Cognitive structures that represent the way information is organized in our long-term memory allows us to recall information due to the schema that we associate it with. It is easier to recall information that has been categorized into a schema because you have more experience with that particular information.

Describe the difference between explicit and implicit as it relates to knowledge.
Declarative Knowledge = Explicit
Procedural and Conditional Knowledge= Implicit

Why is it important for teachers to make connections between topics as it relates to long-term memory?
Effective encoding occurs when there are neural connections in the brain, making memories and knowledge more meaningful.
400
Brain mechanisms of thinking involve the interconnections of what in the brain?
Neurons (including cell bodies, dendrites and axons)
