Compared to the simultaneous condition, the serial condition of the experiment would be more
likely to cause:
A.
a primacy effect.
B.
a state dependency effect.
C.
a misinformation effect.
D.
a dual-coding effect. correct answers The answer to this question is A because, in the serial
condition, the objects are presented to the participants one at a time, which might result in better
memory for events at the beginning of the series (a primacy effect).
The researchers change the procedure such that instead of placing the objects in a box, the
participants have to recall all the objects that they have seen during training. According to the
spreading of activation theory, which type of memory error is most likely?
A.
Making source monitoring errors regarding the location of the training objects
B.
Poorer memory for the training objects seen at the later points in the experiment
C.
Selective forgetting of the training objects that were placed in the center of the box
D.
Recalling objects that were not presented but are from the same category as the training objects
correct answers The answer to this question is D because spreading activation suggests that,
when a concept is activated, the activation spreads to concepts that are semantically or
associatively related to it. Thus, people often retrieve unpresented members of a category when
tested on their memory for a series of presented concepts from that category.
The children from the experiment in the passage participate in a separate study using Piaget's
water conservation task. They are shown two identical beakers, containing equal amounts of
water. The water from one of the containers is poured into a thinner and taller beaker. Which
prediction is most likely to be confirmed?
A.
All three age groups will state that the water in the taller beaker is greater in quantity.
B.
The majority of the 11-year-olds will state that the amount of water in the taller beaker is the
same as in the original beaker.
C.
The majority of the 9- and 11-year-olds will state that the amount of water in the taller beaker is
greater in quantity.
D.
The majority of the 7-year-olds will state that the amount of water in the taller beaker is the same
as in the original beaker. correct answers The answer to this question is B because, according to
, Piaget's theory of cognitive development, conservation tasks are mastered during the concrete
operations stage, which starts at approximately 7 years and ends around 11 to 12 years. The
majority of the 11-year-olds will have completed this stage, which will allow them to judge that
pouring water into a taller beaker does not change its quantity.
Maintenance Factor 1 is most closely related to which approach to psychological disorders?
A.
Psychodynamic
B.
Behaviorist
C.
Trait
D.
Humanistic correct answers The answer to this question is B because Maintenance Factor 1
focuses on the role of classical conditioning, which is most closely related to the behaviorist
approach.
positive punisher correct answers stimulus that weakens a response by presenting an aversive
stimulus after a response
Patient 2: I am terrified of having a panic attack at a meeting. I dread the thought of others
noticing how nervous I am. I'm worried that others will think I am weird. I don't go to meetings
anymore.
For Patient 2, panic attacks act as:
A.
discriminatory stimuli.
B.
signaling stimuli.
C.
positive punishers.
D.
negative punishers. correct answers The answer to this question is C because the patient
describes the panic attacks as highly aversive and mentions that he no longer goes to meetings
for fear of a panic attack. Thus, the frequency of the patient's attendance at meetings has
decreased as the result of the panic attacks. Therefore, the panic attacks have been positive
punishers.
Interoceptive awareness involves sensitivity to increases in the activity of the:
A.
reticular activation system.
B.
autonomic nervous system.
C.
limbic system.
D.
