1
What is a critical drawback of treating a scientific article like a textbook during an initial reading?
It encourages passive consumption of content without structural insight
it is more difficult to distinguish the primary vs. secondary literature
biases readers to author interpretations before reviewing data critically
It focuses attention to the methods section, which is not necessary.
2
What made the swearing and pain experiment (Gravetter & Forzano, 2018) consistent with the scientific method?
The reliance on peer opinions and online polls
The use of personal anecdotes to interpret findings
The preference for popular theories in designing the experiment
The use of a repeatable, controlled experiment with operational definitions
3
What distinguishes the empirical method from the rational method in scientific inquiry?
relies solely on logic, while the rational method depends on authority.
follows religious doctrine; the rational method is inductive.
uses hunches; the rational method depends on observation.
based on direct observation; the rational method uses logical reasoning
4
Which of the following strategies is recommended for maximizing comprehension when reading a scientific article?

Asking questions before, during, and after reading
Highlighting every sentence for memorization
Reading the article three times in a row without pause
5
Which neuromyth is identified as the most widely believed among educators?
There are critical periods after which learning is impossible
We only use 10% of our brain
Individuals learn better when taught in their preferred learning style
Multilingualism hinders native language development
6
According to Torrijos-Muelas, et al., 2021, which method can help protect educators from believing in neuromyths?

7
According to Purugganan and Hewitt, the main benefit of taking structured notes while reading scientific articles is...
To organize information for publication

8
According to Purugganan & Hewitt, what is a common misconception about the abstract of a scientific paper?
