Question 1

A possible reason why introverted people are not as sensitive to rewards when compared to extraverts is that:

Accepted Answer

Research suggests that introverts have an overaroused central nervous system, which can lead to them being less sensitive to rewards and needing more stimulation to reach optimal arousal levels. This can result in them being slower to learn from positive feedback and less likely to seek out rewarding experiences. It is important to note that this does not mean introverts are not intelligent, as intelligence is not related to sensitivity to rewards.

Question 2

Professor Smith can talk, without notes, about the complexity of neuropsychology for hours and hours in class. However, whenever someone asks him about neuropsychology and the question involves an image of some type, he can't seem to remember anything. Professor Smith seems to have a learning style consistent with which model?

Accepted Answer

The visualizer-verbalizer dimension refers to how individuals process information. Visualizers tend to remember information better when it is presented in a visual format (such as with images) whereas verbalizers tend to remember information better when it is presented in a verbal format (such as with words). Professor Smith's difficulty with remembering information involving images suggests that he may be a verbalizer and struggles with processing visual information.

Question 3

Kate's preferred mode of teaching involves having her students do many activities in class that make abstract principles "come to life." This teaching style is illustrative of which approach to learning?

Accepted Answer

Kate's teaching style of having students do activities to make abstract principles "come to life" is an example of using concrete experiences to facilitate understanding, which aligns with the concrete approach to learning.

Question 4

Which of the following is not associated with Sternberg's approach to learning styles?

Accepted Answer

Sternberg's approach to learning styles includes analytical thinking, practical thinking, and creative thinking. Concrete thinking is not included in his approach.

Question 5

Which of the following conclusions stems from work in cross-cultural psychology?

Accepted Answer

Education has been shown to enhance memory ability across different cultures, as it often involves learning techniques and strategies that improve memory performance.

Question 6

Kratzig & Arbuthnott's learning style research found that:

Accepted Answer

Kratzig & Arbuthnott's research found that self-reported learning styles do not consistently match up with performance on standardized tests. Therefore, it cannot be concluded that any one type of learner performs better than another.
