Explain why a person who is red-green colorblind (that is, red and green objects look
gray) is at a disadvantage compared to his or her peers.

Answers should note that we discriminate objects partly on the basis of
color. It is therefore harder for the colorblind person to make
discriminations when the colors red or green are involved. A venomous
black spider with red spots will be harder for the color blind person to
identify.
You hold the patent on a special beard-trimming razor, so it is to your advantage if
beards are popular. How would you use modeling to increase the popularity of
beards?

, Answers should indicate that students recognize the importance of
modeling and model characteristics.
Does learning inevitable mean progress? Why or why not.

The whole premise behind learning is that we learn to adapt and change to
our environment and there for anything we learn has some "value", even if
it's just for a short period of time. But we can learn in ways that are not
product to ourselves or our environments in the long runs. Which means
that not all learning can be considered progress.
Learning is a change in behavior due to:

A change in behaviour due to experience. In order for a species to learn
there has be some sort of change in their behaviour. The only way these
changes can occur is through experiences.
How might a person acquire superstitious behavior through observing a model? Give
an example.

, Superstitious behavior is presumably no different from other behavior as far
as observational learning is concerned. If a model's superstitious behavior
is repeatedly reinforced, it is likely to be imitated by an observer.
What are the differences between classical conditioning and operant learning?
Give this one a try later!
- In operant, important events are dependent on the performance of a
behaviour (you have to do something to get music from an instrument).
With classical, important events are independent of the behaviour (the dog
hears the sound before it salivates).
- In operant , the consequence is contingent on the behaviour. In classical,
the US is contingent on another event the CS.
- Operant generally involves non-reflexive behaviour, classical involves
reflexes.
What did Bartlett's War of the Ghosts study reveal about forgetting?

It showed that people tended to recall the story in a way that was more
meaningful to them, thus demonstrating the influence of previous learning
