Baddeley added the episodic buffer to the working memory model to explain how working memory:
Choosing the first flat that meets your minimum requirements, rather than comparing every flat available, is what Herbert Simon called:
Young infants in English-speaking homes can tell apart some Hindi speech sounds that English-speaking adults cannot, but most lose this ability by about the end of the first year. This is called:
In Hughes' "policeman doll" study, most children aged 3½–5 could hide a boy doll where two policemen could not see him. How does this relate to Piaget's three mountains task?
According to equity theory, who is likely to feel uncomfortable in a relationship?
Moscovici's research showed that a consistent minority can influence a majority mainly through:
Which defence mechanism is shown by someone who is angry with their boss but shouts at their partner at home?
The "scientist-practitioner" (Boulder) model in clinical psychology means that clinicians should:
Answer: D · Binds information from different sources and from long-term memory
The episodic buffer (added in 2000) is a limited-capacity store that binds information from the subsystems and long-term memory into integrated episodes.
Answer: C · Satisficing
Simon argued that limited time, information and cognitive capacity lead people to choose options that are good enough rather than searching for the best one.
Answer: A · Perceptual narrowing
Werker and Tees showed that discrimination of non-native contrasts declines as infants specialise in the sounds of the language around them.
Answer: C · It suggests young children are less egocentric when the task makes sense to them
When perspective taking is embedded in a meaningful game, many preschoolers succeed, suggesting Piaget's task underestimated young children.
Answer: D · Both the over-benefited and the under-benefited partner
Equity theory states that people want the ratio of input to output to be fair. Under-benefited partners feel anger; over-benefited partners feel guilt.
Answer: B · Informational influence leading to private, deeper attitude change
A consistent minority makes the majority think about the issue, producing conversion: private change that may appear later, unlike the public compliance typical of majority influence.
Answer: A · Displacement
Displacement shifts an impulse from a threatening target to a less threatening one. Projection attributes one's own unacceptable feelings to others.
Answer: A · Use research evidence to guide practice and evaluate their own interventions
The Boulder model trains clinical psychologists to integrate scientific research and clinical practice, the basis of evidence-based practice.
