PSYC 4032 final exambehaviorist - ANS learning is a behavioral change
constructivist - ANS learning is forming and evaluating hypotheses about the external world
cognitivist - ANS learning is acquiring representations of the external world
social interactionist - ANS learning is strongly supported by language and communication
The behaviorist theory is like other theories in that: - ANS - learning is based on experience
- it embraces the fact that learning an be context-specific
- it acknowledges that language as an important vector for learning
What is the zone of proximal development?
Select one:
a. A location with lots of people in close proximity so that social norms can be learned
b. A location where you do most of your learning, like a classroom
c. A context where learning cannot occur
d. A range of skill that is a little beyond what your current capability but can be achieved through
modest effort - ANS d. A range of skill that is a little beyond what your current capability but can be
achieved through modest effort
Machine learning is more effective when: - ANS they are given a very flexible statistical learning
system (instead of rules or logic) that learns from lots and lots of "hands on" experience including,
reinforcement and error-driven learning
Relative to massed practice, spaced (interleaved) practice results in: - ANS faster learning
When it comes to retrieval practice:
Select one:
, a. It is best to test yourself using the hardest questions you can find and avoid feedback so that you
make it as difficult as possible.
b. It is best to have your notes and other study materials available while practicing retrieval.
c. It is best to delay your practice a bit and use moderately difficult questions without looking at your
notes or study materials.
d. It is best to test yourself immediately after studying (no delay) and with questions that will be easy
to get right without your study materials. - ANS c. It is best to delay your practice a bit and use
moderately difficult questions without looking at your notes or study materials.
In a study by Kornell and Bjork (2008), participants were presented with art created by 12 different
artists. For six of the artists, participants were made to study 6 blocked sets (each set containing 6
pieces from 1 artist). For the other size, participants were made to study 6 interleaved sets (each set
containing 1 piece from each of 6 artists). How well did participants think they learned about the
artists studied in each way, and how did they actually perform after a delay?
Select one:
a. They thought they learned best from interleaved sets, but the opposite was true.
b. They thought they learned best from blocked sets, but the opposite was true.
c. They thought they learned best from blocked sets, and they were right.
d. They thought they learned best from interleaved sets, and they were right. - ANS b. they thought
they learned best from blocked sets, but the opposite was true
Sleep causes memory and procedural skills to be:
Select one:
a. Acquired in the absence of any real-life experience. You might wake up and be able to play the
piano tomorrow.
b. Maintained and promotes additional development.
c. Lost or degraded because you cannot continue to practice, retrieve, or study while sleeping.
d. Maintained without promoting additional development. - ANS b. maintained and promotes
additional development
The hippocampus learns:
Select one:
a. Quickly about specific events
b. Quickly about generalizable knowledge
c. Slowly about specific events
