TRUE OR FALSE

Case studies are not a good tool for researching rare phenomena

Archival research eliminates researcher bias because the data has already been collected

The demand characteristics of a research study do not impact the participants’ responses in the study

Only true experiments can demonstrate a relationship between sets of data

A +0.6 correlation coefficient indicates a much stronger relationship between the data sets than a -0.8 correlation coefficient.

Sensations are learned.

The 90 minute sleep cycle gets shorter as the night’s sleep progresses.

Nightmares and night terrors are essentially the same thing.

The tricolor theory of color vision easily explains Red-green color blindness.

Sensation is active rather than passive due to the interpretation and organization of sensory information that occurs even before it is received in the brain.

The frequency theory of hearing explains how we can hear a high c on the piano.

Gestalt Laws only pertain to simple figures or patterns not complex social situations.

Adaption to sensory input results in heightened perception of ongoing sensory input.

The intrusive nature of hearing makes it our most dominant sense.

The reason we do not perceive the blind spot in our vision can be explained by the fact that we have binocular vision and what might be missed in one eye’s filed of vision is picked up by the other.

Afterimages are visual anomalies that do not have an affect of our functional vision.

Reinforcement can be directly used to reduce an unwanted behavior.

A continuous reinforcement schedule leads to learning that is most resistant to extinction.

Negative reinforcement and response cost have the same effect on behavior.

The explanation that our recent extremely cold weather disproves climate change exemplifies how a representative heuristic can lead to erroneous decisions.

You cannot use operant conditioning to teach complex tasks.

A mind set helps to solve problems.

A classically conditioned response may be elicited by a stimulus that is similar to the conditioned stimulus.

The initial reaction to breaking the connection between a behavior and its reinforcer during extinction is for the behavior to increase in frequency, intensity and/or duration.  

Flashbulb memories typically are directly inserted into long-term memory because to the emotionally laden event.

Somatic memories are memories of facts and figures that were deliberately learned but not personally experienced.

Having many options fosters better decision-making.

Once the connection between the response and the reinforcer is broken the learned response will begin to extinguish.

Only organisms with a sophisticated central nervous system like humans and other mammals are subject to classical conditioning.

The person being treated with behavioral techniques needs to know what the connection is between the response and the reinforcer in order for the technique to work.

An availability heuristic may lead to erroneous decisions based upon how easily examples of the wrong solution may come to mind relative to examples of the correct solution.

Solution

Case studies are not a good tool for researching rare phenomena- False (There might be variations occurring or interference occurring in case of randomised travails which are removed in case of a case study)

Archival research eliminates researcher bias because the data has already been collected.- True ( Since the data has already been collected, the researcher cannot mole the results for one particular outcome )

The demand characteristics of a research study do not impact the participants’ responses in the study. False ( The participants of the experiment might alter their behaviour in order to meet the expectations of the researcher)

Only true experiments can demonstrate a relationship between sets of data. - True ( It is used to establish a cause and effect relationship )

Sensations are learned.- False ( Sensations are detected by the brain in response to internal or external stimuli)

The 90 minute sleep cycle gets shorter as the night’s sleep progresses. - true

Nightmares and night terrors are essentially the same thing. - False, where the person experiences fear in dreams and that is the essential reason for sleep arousal. In night terrors , the person wakes up either shouting or in pain with a sensation of terror, not fear.

The tricolor theory of color vision easily explains Red-green color blindness. -True, as it defines the receptors for green, red and blue.

Sensation is active rather than passive due to the interpretation and organization of sensory information that occurs even before it is received in the brain. - True, there is a delayed realisation of pain or heat as the sensory and motor neurons along with the relay neurons carry the information to the brain and return it to the effector muscle. The reflex takes place before the realisation.

The frequency theory of hearing explains how we can hear a high c on the piano. True. As it allows us to detect its pitch.

The intrusive nature of hearing makes it our most dominant sense.True. It helps us detect the changes in the vibrational patterns and and also changes in pressure surrounding time.

An availability heuristic may lead to erroneous decisions based upon how easily examples of the wrong solution may come to mind relative to examples of the correct solution. True. As it is based on proven methods on particular situations.

Afterimages are visual anomalies that do not have an affect of our functional vision. True

Reinforcement can be directly used to reduce an unwanted behavior. True

Having many options faster better decision-making. False.
