WGU D664 LEARNERS AND LEARNING SCIENCE: KEY CONCEPTS AND THEORIES
SUMMARY|2026 WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS.
Objective Assessment:
● Make sure you take the pre-assessment. The questions on the OA are very similar to the pre -Assessment. So,
Study it!
● Study the brain and all parts/functions.
● Study all the learning science principles
● Study Blooms Taxonomy
● Study all theories in the material from Erikson, Piaget, Vygotsky,
● Study the learning theories such as constructivism, behaviorism, cognitivism, etc..
● Study all the myths
Performance Assessment:
Clearly write which learning science principle you are using and clearly write which instructional technique you would
use based on the scenario. I got mine sent back for review because I didn't clearly say what learning science principle
I was using. There are 10 learning science principles. The link for them are here.
, SECTION 1 THE NEUROSCIENCE OF
LEARNING
S1:1 Welcome to your Brain
● Given a diagram of the human brain, can I identify the relevant parts of the brain?
● Can I articulate key principles of neuroscience in the context of learning?
● Can I refute common neuromyths by referencing concepts from neuroscience?
Limbic - feelings (hippocampus - memory learning emotion)
Cerebellum - voluntary muscles
Cerebrum - conscious thoughts and actions and senses
Prefrontal Cortex - decision and control
Brain Stem - bodily functions
Social and emotional learning SEL -
Humanism - nurture well-being self-esteem and sense of belonging
