Answer:
B. Facts from a documentary about mechanical and artificial hearts
Answer:
push down curriculum
Explanation:
Over the past few decades, observers say, preschool classes and kindergartens have begun to look more like traditional 1st grade classes: young children are expected to sit quietly while they listen to whole-class instruction or fill in worksheets. Concurrently, teachers have been expecting their pupils to know more and more when they first enter their classrooms.
Experts cite many reasons for this trend. The urge to catch up with the Russians after the launching of Sputnik led to “young children doing oodles of sit-still, pencil-and-paper work”—a type of schoolwork inappropriate for 5- to 7-year-olds, says Jim Uphoff, a professor of education at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. (Today, the urge to compete with Japan yields the same result, experts say.) Another cause of the pushed-down curriculum is the widespread—yet incorrect—notion that one can teach children anything, at any age, if the content is presented in the right way, says David Elkind, a professor of child study at Tufts University.
It’s important to know how things worked before, so then if we know how they work, we could change it or leave it the way it is. Sometimes what worked back then doesn’t work now.
Answer:This is an example of:Retroactive interference
Explanation:
Interference refers to how we forget information stored in our long term memory because there is an interference between memories which distract one another; other information interfere with other restored Information.
There are two ways in which interference result to forgetting:
1) Retroactive interference this interference occurs when we acquire new information we tend to forget the previous one , new learning eliminate our past learned tasks or information;new memory interference with the old memory.
This is the reason why Mr Musselman is finding it hard to recall the last year player because the current year players names interfere with the names of the previous players in his memory.
2. Proactive interference this one prohibit us from learning new information due to the existing old information.
These interference occur mostly due to similarities between these memories or becaue memories are similar , the old and the new memory.
