Question 1

Experimental expectancy effects and speed-accuracy tradeoff are potential research limitations when using __________________.

Accepted Answer

Experimental expectancy effects can occur when participants change their behavior or responses based on what they perceive the experimenter wants or expects from them. This can affect response time data. Additionally, there is often a tradeoff between response speed and accuracy, meaning that participants may sacrifice accuracy for faster response times or vice versa. Both of these potential limitations should be considered when using response time as a measure in research. Judgments and accuracy are not necessarily related to these limitations, and protocol collection seems to be unrelated to the topic.

Question 2

The difference between computer simulation models and artificial intelligence is that computer simulation models ____________ underlying human cognitive processing while artificial intelligence ____________ intelligent behavior.

Accepted Answer

Computer simulation models represent underlying human cognitive processing by imitating or modeling specific aspects of it, while artificial intelligence produces intelligent behavior by learning from data and making decisions or predictions.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following is not a...

Question 5

Which of the following neuroimaging methods would be best to use if you are interested in locating the place in the brain associated with a certain cognitive function?

Accepted Answer

MRI is the best option for locating the place in the brain associated with a certain cognitive function as it provides a detailed three-dimensional image of the brain's structure, allowing for precise localization of brain activity. EEG and optical imaging provide information on brain activity, but not precise localization. MEC is not a neuroimaging method.

Question 6

Neuroimaging methods can be evaluated using four dimensions.Which of the following is not a dimension used in evaluating neuroimaging methods?

Accepted Answer

Functional resolution is not a standard dimension used in evaluating neuroimaging methods. The typical dimensions are spatial resolution, temporal resolution, and invasiveness.

Question 7

All of the following are potential problems when using drugs that affect specific brain areas except that they

Accepted Answer

The answer of All of the following are potential problems...

Question 8

If everyone in class gets nearly all the multiple choice questions correct on this exam,you might argue that the questions were too easy resulting in a _________________.

Accepted Answer

A ceiling effect occurs when a test or assessment is too easy, resulting in most or all participants receiving a perfect or near-perfect score. This means that there is little to no variability in the scores, making it difficult to differentiate between participants' abilities.

Question 9

When cues are present within a task itself that suggest to a participant how to respond in an experiment,______________ exist.

Accepted Answer

Task demands are cues within a task itself that suggest how to respond in an experiment. Expectancy effects refer to participants' beliefs about the experiment, speed-accuracy trade-off refers to the fact that there is often a trade-off between how quickly and accurately a task is completed, and confounds are extraneous variables that can affect the results of an experiment.

Question 10

Although process models can specify the sequence of processes that occur from a stimulus input to a corresponding response,they also have all of the following limitations except they __________.

Accepted Answer

Process models can convert inputs to outputs by specifying the sequence of processes required to produce a response. Therefore, the limitation of process models is not that they cannot convert input to output.

Question 11

You conduct a study in which you measure both accuracy and response time.As you examine the data,you notice that response times are fairly quick but the participants made quite a few errors.What could possibly explain this finding?

Accepted Answer

The speed-accuracy trade-off suggests that there may be a trade-off between response time and accuracy. Participants may have responded quickly but sacrificed accuracy in doing so. This could explain why there were quite a few errors despite quick response times.

Question 12

An advantage of the protocol collection method is that it ___________________.

Accepted Answer

The protocol collection method can reveal a sequence of processing steps, which can be useful in improving the overall efficiency of the process. This method involves collecting data by observing individuals as they complete a task and recording their thoughts and actions as they work through the task. It is a useful approach for understanding how people interact with a system or process and identifying areas for improvement. The other options (A, B, and D) do not accurately describe advantages of the protocol collection method.

Question 13

Psychology majors are not always good psychological research participants because they can sometimes figure out what the experiment is about and then tend to change their responses accordingly resulting in ________________.

Accepted Answer

The phenomenon described in the question is known as experimental expectancy effects or demand characteristics. This occurs when a participant changes their behavior or responses based on the expectation or demand of the experiment, which can be influenced by their prior knowledge, perceptions, and beliefs about the study. As psychology majors may have more familiarity with research methods or the topic of the study, they may be more prone to detecting the purpose of the experiment and adjusting their behavior accordingly, leading to biased or unreliable results.

Question 14

Which of the following would be part of a neural-network model?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following would be part...

Question 15

Which of the following neuroimaging methods would be best to use if you are interested in examining changes in cognitive processing over time?

Accepted Answer

ERP (event-related potential) is a neuroimaging method that measures rapid changes in electrical activity in the brain in response to specific stimuli or tasks. It is highly sensitive to changes in cognitive processing over time, making it the best choice for examining such changes. Optical imaging, MRI, and PET are useful for other types of neuroimaging research, but they are not as well-suited for capturing rapid changes in cognitive processing.

Question 16

Each of the following is a limitation of using accuracy as a dependent variable in memory research except ______________.

Accepted Answer

Expectancy effects are not a limitation of using accuracy as a dependent variable in memory research. They refer to how the expectations of the researcher or participant can influence the outcomes of a study, which is a broader issue in experimental design and not specific to the use of accuracy as a measure. Ceiling effects, floor effects, and the speed-accuracy tradeoff directly impact the interpretation and usefulness of accuracy as a measure in memory tasks.

Question 20

A(n)_________ can be used to determine the part of the brain damaged after a stroke and ____________________ can be used to determine the extent of cognitive deficits caused by the stroke.

Accepted Answer

MRI can be used to determine the part of the brain damaged after a stroke, while neuropsychological studies can be used to determine the extent of cognitive deficits caused by the stroke. Option A and C are incorrect because both EEG and TMS can be used in cognitive neuroscience research, but not specifically for stroke patients. Option B is incorrect because self-reports are subjective and may not accurately reflect the extent of cognitive deficits.
