Study Guide with Complete Solutions
Belief Perserverance - Answer✔️✔️-Persistence of one's initial conceptions,
such as when the basis for one's belief is discredited but an explanation of
why the belief might be true survives.
Example: If a person rationalizes a belief, and then discredited, their former
belief will still survive despite the challenging information.
Confirmation Bias - Answer✔️✔️-A tendency to search for information that
confirms one's preconceptions.
Example: You're friend believes that vaccines cause autism, yet they only
show research that proves their belief rather than research which proves
them wrong.
Priming Effect - Answer✔️✔️-Activating particular associations in memory.
Example: People were asked to complete a written sentence containing
words such as "old," "wise," and "retired." Shortly afterward, they observed
these people walking more slowly to the elevator than did those not
primed with aging-relating words.
Misinformation Effect - Answer✔️✔️-Incorporating "misinformation" into
one's memory of the event, after witnessing an event, and receiving
misleading information.
Example: After witnessing a robbery, the police ask Billy if the robber rode
away in a car or van. Billy begins to think that the robber did get away in a
white van, but turns out the robber rode a blue sedan car.
Rosy Retrospection - Answer✔️✔️-People recall mildly pleasant events more
favorably than they experienced them.
Example: After two months into the school semester, Jimmy wishes he can
go back to Peru because it was the best time of his summer at their beaches.
In reality, he ended up with a mild cold throughout the whole trip, so he
didn't enjoy it as much.
Embodied Cognition - Answer✔️✔️-The mutual influence of bodily
sensations on cognitive preferences and social judgments.
Example: Our physical sensations prime our social judgments and vice
versa. After holding a warm drink, people become more likely to rate
someone more warmly and behave more generously.
