Repeating "the, the, the" aloud while learning a word list impairs recall because it:
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:
A 3-year-old hears a new word once, "This is the chromium tray", and later picks out the correct tray. This is called:
Samuel and Bryant asked children about conservation only once, after the transformation, instead of before and after. Their results showed that:
Tom says he tripped because the floor was wet, but when he sees someone else trip he thinks they are clumsy. This is the:
Which variation in Asch's study reduced conformity most dramatically?
Which is a main criticism of defining abnormality as deviation from social norms?
The dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia is supported by the observation that:
Answer: D · Blocks rehearsal in the phonological loop
Articulatory suppression occupies the "inner voice" used to rehearse verbal items, so words cannot be refreshed in the phonological loop.
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: A · Fast mapping
Fast mapping is the ability to form an initial idea of a word's meaning after only one or a few exposures. It helps explain the vocabulary spurt.
Answer: B · Children did better, suggesting the two-question format misled them
With one question, younger children conserved more often, suggesting Piaget's procedure underestimated them because repeated questions implied a change in answer was expected.
Answer: A · Actor–observer bias
As actors we see the situation around us, so we make situational attributions for ourselves and dispositional attributions for others.
Answer: A · One other confederate giving the correct answer
A single dissenting ally reduced conformity sharply (to about 5%), while increasing the majority beyond three or four people had little extra effect.
Answer: D · Norms vary across cultures and change over time
Social norms are culture- and era-specific, so this definition can label harmless non-conformity as disorder and has been used to justify social control.
Answer: D · Drugs that increase dopamine, such as amphetamines, can trigger psychotic symptoms
Amphetamines can induce psychosis and D2-blocking antipsychotics reduce positive symptoms. Negative symptoms are less well explained, so the hypothesis has been revised.
