A) visual, spatial tasks.
B) intuitive reasoning.
C) solving complex mathematical problems.
D) images, dreams, insights.

Answer 1

solving complex mathematical problems.

Question 2

Maslow spoke of "inner-directness" and the need of human beings to be quiet. He also suggested that one way human beings can move toward "inner-directness" is through:

A) analysis and step-by-step tasks.
B) guided imagery.
C) linear sequencing.
D) using verbal tasks when contemplating "inner-directness."

Answer 2

guided imagery.

Question 3

A classic example of how the imagery system works is the task of:

A) determining how many windows one has in one's house.
B) imagining the future.
C) participating in a language arts lesson.
D) painting a picture.

Answer 3

determining how many windows one has in one's house.

Question 4

According to the literature, Albert Einstein recounted his conceptualization of the theory of relativity as being directly related to:

A) his persistence in working on the problem.
B) an image about a sunbeam.
C) watching a snake swallow its own tail.
D) a lesson he learned from a former teacher about a particular science problem.

Question 5

According to the author of your textbook, there are four (4) phases or basic steps involved in guided imagery. These include each of the following except:

A) centering.
B) relaxing with awareness.
C) imagining.
D) reading poetry.

Question 6

The steps for using guided imagery with children are basically the same as those for adults; the language and length may be different, but the basic steps in the process are very similar.

Question 7

Singer reports that there are two major systems for coding and storing material. They are:

A) creative gene and memorization.
B) verbal-linguistic and imaginary.
C) intuition and insight.
D) whole and partial.

Question 8

All of the following are non-verbal tasks except:

A) nodding your head when you understand.
B) crossing your arms when you defend personal space.

A) let children wonder what is about to take place.
B) create a complex journey without music.
C) reassure your children that there are no right or wrong imaginary pictures.
D) do not allow children to reflect on the experience.

A) discuss what you enjoyed the most about the process.
B) count how many images each person saw.
C) create mental images.
D) sometimes fall asleep.

Question 11

Public school education in the United States is geared toward the development of left-hemisphere functions. According to the text, research on specialization of the brain's hemispheres strongly supports the development of sophisticated curricula that facilitate the development of multiple processing systems of both hemispheres of the brain.
a. What types of curricula reform will be necessary in order to create a balance for integrating the functions of both left- and right-hemisphere processing?
b. What, specifically, can the regular classroom teacher do to facilitate the development of right-hemisphere function?
