Lesson 3.4 Quiz

What is the primary purpose of the change effort and learning effort steps in the DDMP? *

To bypass deliberate actions and rely on automatic habits

To support structured change efforts and promote continuous learning

To ensure all decisions are finalized without reflection

To delay progress until additional data is available

How does prototyping benefit the change effort in the DDMP? *

By eliminating the need for evaluation after implementation

By reducing flexibility in decision-making

By allowing small-scale testing to learn what works best before full implementation

By focusing exclusively on theoretical plans without taking action

What does the phrase “neurons that fire together, wire together” mean in the context of habit formation? *

New habits form by ignoring past behaviors

Repeated actions strengthen neural connections, making behaviors more automatic over time

Neural connections weaken with repeated behaviors

Why is adaptive decision-making important in achieving effective change? *

It avoids reevaluating outcomes after decisions are made

It prioritizes rigid plans over dynamic responses

It discourages adjustments to initial decisions

It ensures flexibility and responsiveness to new information or feedback

What is the primary purpose of reflecting on outcomes during the impact evaluation phase? *

To identify areas for adjustment and improve decision-making outcomes

To avoid further changes once the decision is made

To validate past choices without additional evaluation

To reinforce initial decisions without considering changes

What is an essential task during the action planning phase of the DDMP? *

Ignoring resource availability to save time

Creating a schedule of steps and allocating necessary resources for implementation

Delaying resource organization until after actions are completed

Avoiding detailed planning to allow flexibility

What is the best way to ensure progress during action execution? *

Follow the planned calendar and monitor results for alignment with goals

Avoid monitoring progress to save time during execution

Make spontaneous changes to the plan without evaluating outcomes

Focus only on immediate results without considering long-term goals

How can evaluation tools support the modification of plans during the impact evaluation stage? *

By providing feedback to refine actions and improve future outcomes

By confirming that no changes are needed regardless of results

By avoiding additional analysis after actions are completed

By ensuring the initial plan is followed without adjustments
