Which term refers to the ability to relate new words to known words?

  1. ReQuest

  2. Self-monitoring

  3. Onset

  4. Story Schema

The correct answer is: Self-monitoring

Self-monitoring is the correct term that refers to the ability to relate new words to known words. ReQuest is incorrect because it refers to a method of teaching or learning through asking questions. Onset is incorrect because it refers to the initial sound of a word. Story Schema is incorrect because it refers to the mental framework for understanding and remembering stories. Self-monitoring is the best answer as it accurately captures the idea that individuals can use their existing knowledge or understanding to make connections and learn new words.
