PSYC 302 FINAL EXAM NEWEST 2024 ACTUAL EXAMTEST BANK 300 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS) |ALREADY GRADED A+
goal directed action - ANSWER: the idea that human behaviour is presumed to be
purposeful and intentional
when do infants understand actions to be goal oriented? - ANSWER: 4-5 months (but
not with non human agents)
how do you test if infants understand goal oriented actions? - ANSWER: - show
babies a consistent action
- violation of expectation with habituation
- habituate to arm or person performing same action (ex: grabbing ball from right
side, and not choosing the bear)
- test: see a new goal or new path event where objects are reversed in space
- new goal: hand is reaching for object in the same place but it's a different object
- new path: hand is reaching for same object but it's in a different place
- new goal should be weirder and by 4.5 months, they look longer at the new goal
event rather than the new path event
why can we assume that infants understand that goal directed actions are for
humans? - ANSWER: when testing for goal oriented action, there's no difference
between the tests when using a mechanical arm
what is a proposal to why we learn about goal oriented action? - ANSWER: it seems
to be related to own goal directed experience
how can we test goal oriented action and the effect of experience? - ANSWER: - look
at 3 month olds (no control over reaching, not a lot of goal directed action)
- gave one set of babies velcro mittens and gave them toys that had velcro
- babies with mittens were able to grasp things; let them experience goal oriented
action
- results: at 3 months, they don't understand that action is goal directed; but those
who had experience with the mittens, they seem to understand the actions as goal
directed (looks longer at the new goal event)
when can children understand collaborative action to be goal directed as well? -
ANSWER: 14 months
how do we test if children understand collaborative action to be goal directed? -
ANSWER: - babies will see either a collaborative (two girls with a box and a duck, one
opens the box, the other gets the duck) or a non-collaborative (two people, duck
already outside, only one person
doing things)
,- results: in collaborative condition, they looked more at the duck than the box
reaching because they knew the duck was the goal, why get the box
even though they were habituated to the experimenter grabbing the box
what do researchers want to know when studying an infant's perception of social
groups? - ANSWER: - is it innate

Caucasian faces
- Israeli infants from African families (minority race) showed no preference
,-Ethiopian infants from African families (predominant race) showed preference for
black faces
what do the results of the race preference study tell us? - ANSWER: that infants of
the predominant race group prefer own race faces, while infants of the minority race
group show no consistent preference
what is the other race effect - ANSWER: it's when there is more difficulty recognizing
faces of unfamiliar ethnicity than from own ethnicity
how was the other race effect tested? - ANSWER: - looked in a habituation type
design
- tested caucasian babies on ability to tell apart people of different ethnicities
- habituate babies to a face
- to test, show two faces, one is the one they were habituated to
- then seeing if babies could tell them apart
results of other race effect study - ANSWER: - at 3 months, infants look more to the
new face for all ethnicities
