A nursing student who applies the concept that neural pathways become increasingly efficient when a learning exercise is repeated will
a. study at the same time each day.
b. review notes several times.
c. use relaxation techniques to reduce anxiety.
d. engage in physical activity while studying.
ANS: B
The process of myelination of neurons accounts for neural pathways becoming more efficient when a learning exercise, such as reviewing notes, is repeated several times. Studying at the same time each day and reviewing notes several times do not directly relate to the efficiency of neural pathways. Engaging in physical activity while studying has more to do with avoiding the fight-or-flight response that interferes with learning.
