HRM3703 ASSIGNMENT 3 SEM1- 2024 WITH TWO DIFFERENT ATTEMPTS

1. The school of psychology that emphasizes the 'whole is greater than thesum of its parts' and that emphasizes the tendency to integrate separate stimuli into meaningful patterns is the school of - - - - -.: Gestalt Psychology 2. The concept - - - - - refers to Locke's belief that all knowledge is gained empirically, beginning at birth, when our minds are a blank slate.: tabula rasa 3. Which behaviourist was willing to look inside the proverbial 'black box'?: - Tolman in his work with mazes 4. During the 1950s, many psychologists were becoming disillusioned with behaviourism, and cognitive psychology began to emerge. A major reason why they were disappointed with behaviourism is because it -.: only examined psychological processes that were observable 5. The primary contribution that Hermann Ebbinghaus made in his memory research to contemporary cognitive psychology was his - - - - -.: emphasis ona systematic, well-controlled approach to the study of memory 6. The landmark experiment in which dogs salivate at the sight of the per- son who feeds them, exemplifies early behaviourist experimentation on theprocess of - - - - -.: classically conditioned learning 7. This major theme of cognitive psychology deals with the factors that de- termine who we are, and specifically the issue of whether these factors are primarily genetically based, or derive from the environment in which we grewup?: Nature versus nurture 8. The approach to studying the brain in order to understand what specific partof it controls a specific skill or cognitive process is called --------------------------------------------------------- -.: localization of function 9. Signals between neurons occur when these chemical messengers transmit information from one neuron to the next across the synaptic gap.: neurotrans-mitters 10. A patient sustains a head injury which results in loss of ability to breathe. Upon autopsy, neural damage will most likely be found in the -.: medulla 11. A pharmaceutical company is marketing a new drug that is claimed to control anger and aggression, and which is targeted for patients prone to extreme outbursts of anger and violence. Based on what we know about thefunctional specialisation of the brain, we can guess that the drug's primary effect will be on the (a) - - - - - and (b) - - - - -, because they are known to playa significant role in anger and aggression.: (a) septum (b) amygdala 12. As part of a therapeutic programme to alleviate the suffering of patients suffering from the final stages of cancer, Dr Dragovitz gives them small dosages of the hallucinogenic drug lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). LSD is known to inhibit the action of the neurotransmitter serotonin, and this maycause - - - - -.: an increase in impulsive and aggressive behaviour 13. Dysfunction of the basal ganglia is known to cause - - - - -.: motor deficits 14.James fell during a mountain climbing expedition and sustained severe injuries to his occipital lobe. Which of the following aspects of James' cogni-tive functioning will probably be impaired as a result of the injury? His - - - - - .: visual processing 15. An agent has the task of receiving and transmitting secret messages for the CIA. The agent receives a message and then has to convey the message to another agent in the organization. The agent functions much like the - - - - - of a neuron.: dendrites and axon 16. Split-brain patients sometimes have difficulty reconciling information that is (a) - - - - - (largely localized in the left hemisphere) with information that is (b) - - - - - (generally localized in the right hemisphere).: (a) verbal (b) spatial 17. A woman suffers from severe migraine attacks, and the resident neurolo- gist orders an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan to investigate for the possibility of a tumour in her brain. The MRI entails that - - - - -.: a scanner will be used to examine magnetic changes in the brain 18. This particular part of the brain is responsible for regulating behaviour thatis important for the survival of the organism (e.g., fighting, feeding, fleeing, and mating) and also for regulating emotions and reactions to stress.: hypo- thalamus 19. Select the best description of human visual perception from the options below:: Perception is a process in which previous knowledge are used to interpretthe stimuli registered by the senses. 20. A pandemonium model, based on the notion that metaphorical "demons"with specific duties receive and analyse the features of a stimulus, is an example of a - - - - - theory of form perception.: feature 21. All the tiles on the floor in a room are usually the same size. Yet, when artists make a drawing of such a room with tiles they take texture gradient and relative size into account and will draw the tiles that are further away - - - - - to provide the impression of depth.: smaller and closer together 22. The two line segments above:: (+) represent a visual illusion known as theMu ller-Lyer illusion; (+) arepresent a visual illusion, and the strength of this illusion can be altered bymaking the angles of the arrows more acute; At what point in the strategic process should the HRM executive become involved? ANSWERThe HRM executive should be involved in both the formulation and implementation of the strategy. In what direction should information flow between the HR executive and senior management? ANSWERThere
