Option 1: In the “Factors that Affect Learning” chapter, you learned a term called Meta-cognition. Explain how meta-cognition could be related to Self-efficacy. Based upon only what you learned from your textbook and the videos, describe meta-cognition and self-efficacy, and what those terms specifically mean to you? Based on what you learned in this class only, explain why the two terms are useful to you. You must make specific references to course content in your answer.   Option 2: When teachers are covering new topics, they are often faced with what are called “individual differences in learning”.  According to what you learned from the textbook, FIRST, describe the major ways individuals can differ in their ability to learn new information. Second, name and describe the concept you learned during this class that allows teachers to know what their students know and what their students don’t know. How is meta-cognition helpful to learning?   Option 3: Imagine you work at a major tech company and your boss has asked you to design a smartphone application to teach someone a new language. Consider the principles of learning you read and learned about (classical, operant, and social learning theory). Then create an answer that describes in detail how you would use those principles of learning to design an app allowing a person to learn a new language.

Option 1: Describe what it means to say that someone is mentally ill? What criteria are usually considered to determine whether someone is mentally ill? List and describe the differences between the three major theories of the causes of mental illness, according to your textbook.   Option 2: In the History of Mental Disorders chapter, the History of Mental Illness chapter, and the Personality Disorders chapter, the book repeatedly uses a term to describe behaviors that are negatively affecting a person’s life. In this answer and in your own words, explain that term’s meaning. Is the term a general term, or is it a specific term that only refers to one specific disorder? Then, explain how that term would specifically apply to Psychopathy versus how the term would apply to Severe ADHD. That is to ask, how are Psychopathy and Severe ADHD different with respect to the term?
