According to the Information-Processing/social Cognitive Approach to Learning, One Way

question 9

Multiple Choice

According to the information-processing/social cognitive approach to learning, one way to help students meaningfully process information is to

• A) present new information in relatively small amounts and over a reasonable period of time because of the limits of students' working memory capacity.
• B) present information at a pace that will assure you of finishing the entire text before the end of the school year because the acquisition of basic skills is critically necessary to learning.
• C) Present new information quickly enough that students become accustomed to working at a fast pace because being able to automatically encode and retrieve information is critical to subsequent learning.
• D) present large amounts of information over a short timespan because students need exposure to as much information as possible and long-term memory has a limitless capacity.
