A parent is trying to help her child with his geometry homework. She studied geometry in high school and has decided to read the textbook one chapter ahead of her son so that she can help him throughout the year. She finds that she is able to pick up on the concepts quickly. This is related to which of the following concepts?

Question

1. Overlearning

2. Recognition

3. Recall

4.Relearning

Answer 1

The scenario described is most closely related to the concept of Relearning (option 4).

Relearning refers to the process of learning information again after having learned it previously. The parent studying ahead indicates that she is revisiting concepts from her past education, which can facilitate a quicker understanding of the material due to prior knowledge, making it easier for her to help her child.

While overlearning, recognition, and recall are also related to learning, they do not fit as well in this specific context. Overlearning refers to continued practice of material after initial learning; recognition involves identifying previously learned material; and recall refers to retrieving information without cues.
