Question 1

Our memory for skills, such as riding a bike
A)implicit memory
B)explicit memory
C)echoic memory
D)iconic memory

Accepted Answer

Implicit memory is involved in the retention and retrieval of learned skills, such as riding a bike, without conscious awareness of these previous experiences.

Question 2

Implicit memory is to the ______ as explicit memory is to the _____
A)hippocampus/ cerebellum
B)cerebellum/ hippocampus
C)corpus callosum/ hippocampus
D)hippocampus/ cerebellum.

Accepted Answer

Implicit memory (unconscious, automatic memory) is largely processed by the cerebellum, especially for procedural tasks and habits, while explicit memory (conscious, intentional recollection) involves the hippocampus for facts and events.

Question 3

The mental processing of retrieval of information from memory.
A)recognition
B)relearning
C)learning
D)recall

Accepted Answer

Recall involves the mental process of retrieving information from memory without the aid of cues, which distinguishes it from recognition, where cues are present. Relearning and learning are processes related to acquiring knowledge or skills, not specifically about retrieving information from memory.

Question 4

When choices are given, it is much easier to identify genuine ones. A multiple choice test is a good example
A)recall
B)relearning
C)recognition
D)deja vu

Accepted Answer

Recognition is the correct answer because it refers to the cognitive process of identifying information that has previously been encountered. In the context of a multiple-choice test, recognizing the correct answer from a list of options is easier than recalling information without any cues.

Question 5

This person studied memory retention by stringing together non sense syllable and memorizing them
A)herman ebbinghaus
B)skinner
C)thorndike
D)freud

Accepted Answer

Herman Ebbinghaus was a psychologist who conducted pioneering research on memory. He is known for his experiments with nonsense syllables to study memory retention and forgetting, which led to the discovery of the forgetting curve and the spacing effect.

Question 6

Using the acronym VIBGYOR to studying the colors of the rainbow. This is a good example of
A)spacing effect
B)visual encoding
C)acoustic encoding
D)mnemonics

Accepted Answer

The acronym VIBGYOR (Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red) is a mnemonic device, which is a technique used to aid in memorizing information by making it more memorable.

Question 7

This person studied the effects of misinformation and false memories
A)ebbinghaus
B)loftus
C)pavlov
D)bandura

Accepted Answer

Elizabeth Loftus is renowned for her research on the malleability of human memory and how misinformation can create false memories, significantly impacting the fields of psychology and legal studies.

Question 8

Which factors were included in Sternberg's triarchic theory of intelligence
A)tacit, perceptual and interpersonal knowledge
B)analytic thought, creativity and practical knowledge
C)crystallized, fluid and artificial intelligence
D)general intelligence, crystallized knowledge and creativity

Accepted Answer

Sternberg's triarchic theory of intelligence includes three components: analytic thought, creativity, and practical knowledge. These components represent different aspects of how individuals process information, solve problems, and adapt to the environment.

Question 9

How many factors did Thurstone associate with intelligence?
A)12
B)7
C)2
D)3

Accepted Answer

Thurstone associated intelligence with seven primary mental abilities, which include verbal comprehension, word fluency, number facility, spatial visualization, associative memory, perceptual speed, and reasoning.

Question 10

Which of these factors was not included in Thurstone's theory of intelligence?
A)spacial ability
B)memory
C)inductive reasoning
D)deductive reasoning

Accepted Answer

Thurstone's theory of intelligence, known as the theory of primary mental abilities, did not include deductive reasoning as one of the primary factors. His theory identified several different abilities, such as spatial ability, memory, and inductive reasoning, but not deductive reasoning.

Question 11

Spiritual and existential intelligence were included in whose theory of intelligence?
A)gardner
B)sternberg
C)binet
D)lashley

Accepted Answer

Gardner included spiritual and existential intelligence in his theory of multiple intelligences, proposing that intelligence is not a single general ability but a combination of multiple distinct types of intelligence.

Question 12

Intrapersonal intelligence can be characterized by which of the following processes?
A)communication abilities
B)self- reflection and self- awareness
C)musical empathy
D)team cooperation

Accepted Answer

Intrapersonal intelligence involves self-reflection and self-awareness, which allows individuals to understand their own strengths, weaknesses, and motivations.

Question 13

According to Carroll's model of intelligence, at which level are fluid ability and crystallized intelligence located?
A)highest level
B)lowest level
C)sub-intelligence level
D)intermediate level

Accepted Answer

Fluid ability and crystallized intelligence are located at the intermediate level in Carroll's three-stratum theory of intelligence. This model categorizes cognitive abilities into three levels, with general intelligence at the top, broad abilities (including fluid and crystallized intelligence) in the middle, and narrow abilities at the bottom.

Question 14

Which of the following do Gardner's intelligence correlate with?
A)task capacities
B)each other
C)age
D)crystallized intelligence

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following do Gardner's intelligence...

Question 15

Which test provides scores for verbal IQ, performance IQ, verbal comprehension, working memory, perceptual organization and processing speed?
A)wais-iii
B)binet
C)sternberg\s intelligence quotient
D)stanford

Accepted Answer

The WAIS-III (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Third Edition) provides scores for verbal IQ, performance IQ, verbal comprehension, working memory, perceptual organization, and processing speed, making it a comprehensive tool for assessing adult intelligence.

Question 16

Spearman devised which form of factor analysis?
A)structural
B)explorative
C)principle components
D)rotated

Accepted Answer

Spearman developed the principle components form of factor analysis as part of his work on intelligence research, aiming to identify underlying factors in cognitive abilities.

Question 17

The concept of primary mental abilities was proposed by which of the following?
A)mcclelland
B)thurstone
C)simon
D)newell

Accepted Answer

Thurstone proposed the theory of primary mental abilities, suggesting that intelligence consists of several distinct dimensions, not just a single factor.

Question 18

How many mental abilities were identified by Guildford?
A)0
B)44
C)120
D)32

Accepted Answer

Guildford identified 120 mental abilities, expanding the understanding of human intelligence beyond the traditional view of a single, general intelligence factor.

Question 19

Cattell identified which two forms of intelligence?
A)artificial and natural intelligence
B)musical and tactile abilities
C)crystallized and fluid intelligence
D)mental abilities and skills

Accepted Answer

Cattell identified crystallized and fluid intelligence as the two forms of intelligence. Crystallized intelligence involves the ability to use learned knowledge and experience, while fluid intelligence is the capacity to think logically and solve problems in novel situations, independent of acquired knowledge.
