***This comprehensive final review examination contains questions
covering all major topics from the COG170 curriculum, including
cognitive science foundations, memory systems, learning, attention,
perception, language, problem-solving, decision-making, cognitive
biases, development, neuroscience, and Epic Radar fundamentals.
Each answer includes a detailed rationale to reinforce

SECTION A: FOUNDATIONS OF COGNITIVE SCIENCE
1. The interdisciplinary study of the mind and intelligence that draws
from psychology, artificial intelligence, linguistics, neuroscience,
anthropology, and philosophy is called:
A. Behaviorism
B. Psychoanalysis
C. Cognitive psychology
D. Cognitive science
,CORRECT ANSWER: D. Cognitive science
Rationale: Cognitive science is explicitly defined as the
interdisciplinary study of the mind and intelligence, integrating
multiple fields to understand cognitive processes.
2. Which of the following best describes the behaviorist approach to
psychology?
A. The study of mental processes through introspection
B. The study of observable phenomena and measurable behavior
exclusively
C. The study of unconscious motivations
D. The study of cognitive maps
CORRECT ANSWER: B. The study of observable phenomena and
measurable behavior exclusively
Rationale: Behaviorism insists that psychology should only study
observable, measurable behaviors, rejecting the study of
unobservable mental processes.
3. Edward Tolman's experiments with rats in mazes demonstrated
that:
,A. Reinforcement is necessary for all learning
B. Animals can only learn through trial and error
C. Learning involves the acquisition of knowledge that may not be
immediately expressed in behavior
D. Rats cannot learn spatial layouts without rewards
CORRECT ANSWER: C. Learning involves the acquisition of
knowledge that may not be immediately expressed in behavior
Rationale: Tolman's work showed latent learning—rats developed
cognitive maps of mazes even without reinforcement, proving
learning involves knowledge acquisition beyond behavior.
4. The cognitive revolution in psychology:
A. Focused exclusively on behaviorism
B. Brought mental processes back into the scientific study of
psychology
C. Ended in the 1970s
D. Rejected all scientific methodologies
CORRECT ANSWER: B. Brought mental processes back into the
scientific study of psychology
, Rationale: The cognitive revolution represented a paradigm shift
away from behaviorism, reintroducing the scientific study of mental
processes like memory, attention, and problem-solving.
5. According to Miller's research, the span of absolute judgment for
unidimensional stimuli is approximately:
A. 3 items
B. 5 items
C. 7 items
D. 10 items
CORRECT ANSWER: C. 7 items
Rationale: Miller's classic research established that the span of
absolute judgment for unidimensional stimuli is approximately 7
items, reflecting the "magical number seven, plus or minus two."
6. The "magical number seven, plus or minus two" refers to:
A. The capacity of long-term memory
B. The capacity of short-term memory
C. The capacity of sensory memory
D. The capacity of working memory
