The region of proximal learning meAnswer:

B) participants will often make erroneous tip-of-the-tongue judgments. 
C) ease-of-learning judgments do not always correlate with item difficulty. 
D) participants will often study the left-most item first rather than the easiest item not yet learned simply because their participants read from left to right.
