Question 1

Which of the following is the process by which meaning is attached to input?&#10;A) Stimuli&#10;B) Information processing&#10;C) Perception&#10;D) Affordances

Accepted Answer

Perception is the process by which the brain attaches meaning to input from the environment, allowing us to make sense of the world around us. This process involves selecting, organizing, and interpreting sensory information to form a coherent and meaningful picture of our surroundings.

Question 2

The deliberate presentation of false precues in order to prompt an incorrect response is called&#10;A) Disguise&#10;B) Dissimulate&#10;C) Deception&#10;D) Decompose

Accepted Answer

The deliberate presentation of false precues is an act of deception, which can lead to an incorrect response. The options A, B, and D are not directly related to this definition.

Question 3

Which of the following would NOT necessarily influence movement time (MT)?&#10;A) Reduction in the uncertainty of a situation&#10;B) Increase in the speed at which the movement is executed&#10;C) Reduction in the length of the movement&#10;D) Using little or no back swing

Accepted Answer

Reduction in the uncertainty of a situation primarily influences reaction time rather than movement time. Movement time is more directly affected by factors related to the physical execution of the movement itself.

Question 4

What must happen in order for a fake to be successful?&#10;A) The faker should move his or her head&#10;B) The fake must be realistic&#10;C) One should focus on the center of gravity&#10;D) The faker should look directly at his or her opponent

Accepted Answer

For a fake to be successful, it must be realistic, meaning it should closely resemble the actual move or action being faked. The other options do not necessarily contribute to the success of a fake.

Question 5

The extent to which a stimulus and its required response are naturally related is known as:&#10;A) Foreperiod&#10;B) Psychological refractory period&#10;C) Stimulus-response compatibility&#10;D) Inverted U hypothesis

Accepted Answer

Stimulus-response compatibility refers to the degree to which a stimulus and its required response are naturally related, or in other words, how well they fit together. This can impact reaction time and performance in tasks. The other options are unrelated concepts: A) foreperiod refers to the time period between a warning signal and a target stimulus, B) psychological refractory period refers to the delay in responding to a second task when it immediately follows a first task, and D) inverted U hypothesis deals with the relationship between task difficulty and arousal level.

Question 6

Which of the following explains faking?&#10;A) Hick's Law&#10;B) Psychological refractory period&#10;C) Temporal anticipation&#10;D) Affordances

Accepted Answer

Faking occurs when an individual tries to hide their true intentions or abilities. The psychological refractory period is a cognitive phenomenon where the brain takes time to switch from one task to another. Faking can occur when an individual purposely delays their response to a task in order to appear as if they are trying harder or are not as good at the task as they actually are.

Question 7

Clues in the environment that if detected can assist a learner in anticipating are known as:&#10;A) Irrelevant stimuli&#10;B) Regulatory conditions&#10;C) Precues&#10;D) Action requirements

Accepted Answer

Precues are environmental clues that provide information about upcoming actions or events, allowing learners to anticipate what will happen next. Regulatory conditions and action requirements are related to the environment, but do not necessarily provide anticipatory information. Irrelevant stimuli are distractions and not useful for learning.

Question 8

Which of the following is NOT true of response time?&#10;A) It is determined from the moment that a stimulus is presented to when a response is completed&#10;B) It is influenced by the number of response choices in a situation&#10;C) It is the combination of reaction time and movement time&#10;D) It should not exceed four seconds

Accepted Answer

There is no set limit on response time; it can vary depending on the task and individual factors. However, in some situations such as emergency response or sports performance, a faster response time may be necessary for optimal results.

Question 9

The prediction of when an event will occur is called which of the following?&#10;A) Temporal anticipation&#10;B) Event anticipation&#10;C) Psychological refractory period&#10;D) Response orientation

Accepted Answer

Temporal anticipation refers to predicting the timing of an event or when it will occur. B is incorrect as it refers to anticipating a specific event, not necessarily predicting when it will occur. C refers to the delay in responding to a second stimulus when it closely follows a first stimulus. D refers to the direction of a response, not the prediction of when an event will occur.

Question 10

Which of the following is the prediction of what event will happen?&#10;A) Foreperiod&#10;B) Response orientation&#10;C) Temporal anticipation&#10;D) Event anticipation

Accepted Answer

Event anticipation is the prediction of what event will happen, such as anticipating the start of a game or the occurrence of a certain event. Foreperiod refers to the time interval between a warning signal and the onset of a stimulus, response orientation describes the preparation and execution of a motor response, and temporal anticipation refers to the ability to anticipate the timing of an event.

Question 11

According to Hicks Law, a racquetball player has an advantage if he or she does which of the following?&#10;A) Has a larger repertoire of serves&#10;B) Reduces the uncertainty of his or her opponent&#10;C) Makes his or her serve predictable&#10;D) Increase the fore period preceding the serve

Accepted Answer

The answer of According to Hicks Law, a racquetball player...

Question 12

__________ states that choice RT is logarithmically related to the number of stimulus choice alternatives.&#10;A) Fitts Law&#10;B) Hicks Law&#10;C) Stimulus response compatibility&#10;D) Psychological refractory period

Accepted Answer

The answer of __________ states that choice RT is logarithmically...

Question 13

The reaction time resulting from a situation involving options as to how to respond is called __________.&#10;A) Hicks Law&#10;B) Event anticipation&#10;C) Event reaction time&#10;D) Choice reaction time

The answer of The reaction time resulting from a situation...

Question 14

Which of the following is true of reaction time?&#10;A) It is a constant&#10;B) It is dependent on the processing demands imposed by a given situation&#10;C) It is determined from the moment that a stimulus is presented to when a response is completed&#10;D) It is indicative of the time to execute a movement

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following is true of...

Question 15

The interval of time between the moment that a stimulus is presented to when a response is initiated is known as what?&#10;A) Reaction time&#10;B) Movement time&#10;C) Response time&#10;D) Response orientation

Accepted Answer

Question 16

The view that the relationship between perception and action is circular rather than relying on stored memory representation is known as what?&#10;A) Direct perception&#10;B) Indirect perception&#10;C) Information processing&#10;D) Affordances

Accepted Answer

The answer of The view that the relationship between perception...

Question 17
