Broadbent's filter model of attention proposes that unattended messages are:
Patient D.F. could not report the orientation of a slot but could accurately post a card through it. Milner and Goodale used this to support the idea of:
Shown 7 roses and 3 tulips, a 5-year-old says there are more roses than flowers. Which ability is still lacking?
Hazan and Shaver's "love quiz" found that adults' romantic attachment styles:
On Halloween, children who were anonymous and in groups took more sweets than allowed, compared with children who had been asked their names. This illustrates:
Men approached by a female researcher on a high, swaying bridge were more likely to phone her later than men approached on a low, stable bridge. This is explained by:
Which criterion of abnormality judges behaviour as abnormal when it is rare in the population?
Ayllon and Azrin introduced a token economy on a psychiatric ward. What was the main finding and limitation?
Answer: B · Blocked by physical features before meaning is analysed
Broadbent argued that a selective filter lets through one channel based on physical characteristics such as ear or pitch, so unattended input is not processed for meaning.
Answer: D · Separate visual streams for perception and action
D.F.'s ventral stream damage impaired conscious perception of form, while her intact dorsal stream still guided actions, supporting the two-streams hypothesis.
Answer: B · Class inclusion
Class inclusion is understanding that a subclass cannot be larger than the class that contains it. Piaget found it is usually mastered in the concrete operational stage.
Answer: D · Matched infant type proportions and related to recalled childhood care
Adults' self-reported styles (secure, avoidant, anxious) appeared in proportions similar to infant studies and related to recalled parental relationships, though data were retrospective self-reports.
Answer: D · Deindividuation
Diener and colleagues found that anonymity and group membership increased rule-breaking, consistent with deindividuation theory.
Answer: C · Misattribution of arousal
Dutton and Aron argued that physiological arousal from the bridge was attributed to attraction to the researcher, supporting a two-factor view of emotion.
Answer: C · Statistical infrequency
Statistical infrequency defines abnormality as behaviour far from the average. Its weakness is that some rare traits, such as very high IQ, are desirable.
Answer: B · Target behaviours increased, but gains often did not generalise outside the ward
Token economies increased self-care and work behaviours in long-stay patients, but changes tended to fade without reinforcement, and the approach raised ethical concerns about control.
