Which of the following are the main biases in attribution process?
- a)Fundamental attribution error
- b)Actor observer effect
- c)Situational influence
- d)Self-serving bias
Not quite. The answer is B.
Why: The fundamental attribution error, actor-observer effect, and self-serving bias are established attribution biases. Situational influence is a factor in attribution, not the name of a bias. Statements (a), (b), and (d) are correct, giving option B.
Given below are two statements one labelled as Assertion (A) and other labelled as Reason (R). Read the statements.
Assertion (A)Tolman’s purposive behaviourism was considered to be a major advancement in the field of Psychology.
Reason (R)Pre-Tolman behaviourism excessively emphasized S-R relations and ignored cognitive processes
Not quite. The answer is A.
Why: Tolman's purposive behaviorism was a major advancement because it moved beyond the rigid S-R framework of earlier behaviorism. The reason correctly explains this by stating that pre-Tolman behaviorism ignored cognitive processes, which Tolman reintroduced through concepts like cognitive maps and latent learning, forming his S-O-R (Stimulus-Organism-Response) model.
Match the List-I with List-II
List I (Parts of Nervous System)
- A.Hypothalamus
- B.Hippocampus
- C.Amygdala
- D.Cingulate cortex
List II (Function)
- I.Fear responses and memory of fear
- II.Regulates body temperature, thirst, hunger
- III.Forms long-term declarative memories
- IV.Selective attention, working memory
Not quite. The answer is C.
Why: The hypothalamus regulates homeostatic functions such as temperature, thirst, and hunger (II); the hippocampus is crucial for long-term declarative memory formation (III); the amygdala is central to fear responses and fear memory (I); and the cingulate cortex contributes to attention and working-memory control (IV). The mapping is option C.
Match the List-I with List-II
List I
- A.Premak principle
- B.Zeigarnik effect
- C.Crespi effect
- D.Spread of effect
List II
- I.The rapid change in performance level as the size of reinforcement is varied
- II.Reinforcement strengthens the neighboring response in addition to the response that it produced
- III.The opportunity to engage in a frequently occurring activity can be used to reinforce a less frequently occurring activity
- IV.The tendency to remember incomplete tasks longer than complete ones
Not quite. The answer is D.
Why: The Premack principle uses access to a high-probability activity to reinforce a lower-probability activity (III); the Zeigarnik effect is better memory for incomplete tasks (IV); the Crespi effect is the rapid performance shift following a change in reward magnitude (I); and spread of effect strengthens responses neighboring the reinforced response (II). The mapping is option D.
The type of psychological tests in which validation criterion is the performance in specialized training is _____________.
Not quite. The answer is C.
Why: Aptitude tests are designed to measure a person's potential to learn or acquire a new skill. Their validity is established by demonstrating that test scores can predict future success in a specific area. The key validation criterion is therefore performance in specialized training or on-the-job performance after the test has been administered.
