Q1 Beginner 1 pts

According to the 2006 research study mentioned in the video, what specific difference in training methods led to better surgical performance among residents? Video Reference:
"Both groups studied the surgery for the same amount of time. Yet one group's training was crammed in..."

Timestamp: 0:30

Training spread over four weeks Training crammed into a single day More study materials provided Different surgical techniques taught

Q2 Intermediate 2 pts

In the video, which specific brain area is described as temporarily encoding new memories? Video Reference:
"When you're introduced to a new concept, the memory is temporarily encoded in groups of neurons in a..."

Timestamp: 1:00

Hippocampus Neocortex Cerebellum Amygdala

Q3 Advanced 3 pts

The video explains that interleaving works better than single-subject focus because: Video Reference:
"One hypothesis of why this works is that, similar to testing, cycling through different subjects for..."

Timestamp: 2:00

It forces brain to temporarily forget and retrieve information It takes less time to study It requires fewer study materials It eliminates the need for breaks

Q4 Intermediate 2 pts

Active recall through self-testing is more effective for long-term learning than passive review methods like highlighting. Video Reference:
"Study effectiveness techniques section..."

True

False

Q5 Intermediate 2 pts

Which two specific brain regions are mentioned as being involved in memory storage? Video Reference:
"When you're introduced to a new concept, the memory is temporarily encoded in groups of neurons in a..."

Timestamp: 1:15

Select all correct answers

Hippocampus Neocortex Cerebellum Frontal lobe

Q6 Intermediate 2 pts

What specific problem does the video identify with rereading textbooks and highlighting notes? Video Reference:
"But these practices can generate a false sense of competence, since the information is right in fron..."

Timestamp: 1:40

Generates false sense of competence Takes too much time Causes eye strain Requires too many materials

Q7 Advanced 3 pts

According to the video, what happens to long-term memories when they are recalled? Video Reference:
"Each time you recall heart anatomy, you reactivate the long-term memory, which makes it susceptible ..."

Timestamp: 1:50

They become susceptible to change and can be updated They are permanently fixed and unchangeable They are completely erased They move back to short-term memory

Q8 Intermediate 2 pts

The video states that sleep plays which specific role in learning? Video Reference:
"How information is transferred from short-term to long-term storage is still not completely understo..."

Timestamp: 1:25

Crucial for transferring information to long-term storage Prevents learning from occurring Only important for physical skills Reduces memory capacity
