WGU D570 COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY TEST
BANK UPDATED COMPLETE QUESTIONS
WITH ACCURATE ANSWERS
●● What is measured by the paper folding test?
A. Verbal imagery.
B. Auditory imagery.
C. Spatial Imagery.
D. Object Imagery.
Answer: C. Spatial imagery.
Spatial imagery is the ability to imagine, remember, and mentally
manipulate where objects are located in space. It is the "mind's eye" skill
that helps you visualize distances, shapes, and directions.
●● Which concept supports the paired-associate learning studies?
A. Mental chronometry.
,B. Conceptual peg hypothesis.
C. Visual imagery.
D. Object imagery.
Answer: B. Conceptual peg hypothesis.
Created by Allan Paivio, a cognitive theory stating that concrete, high-
imagery words (e.g., "apple") serve as effective memory anchors, or
"pegs".
●● Which component of Broadbent's flow diagram of the mind blocks
unattended messages?
A. Input.
B. Filter.
C. Detector.
D. Memory.
Answer: B. Filter.
,The filter is a selective mechanism that acts as an early gatekeeper. It
prevents the brain's limited-capacity processing channel from getting
overloaded.
●● What is mental imagery?
A. The ability to see objects that are no longer visible to other people.
B. The ability to recreate sensory information without physical stimuli.
C. The ability to predict what objects will be presented next in a set.
D. The ability to decide which sensory information to process first.

impossible without an image"?
A. People who cannot visualize images are still capable of thinking.
, B. People who cannot visualize actions struggle with consecutive
thoughts.
C. People who cannot think abstractly can think better concretely.
D. People who cannot think concretely can think better abstractly.
Answer: A. People who cannot visualize images are still capable of
thinking.
●● Which stage of Piaget's Cognitive Development Theory does an
individual begin to understand mathematical reasoning?
A. Concrete Operational.
B. Sensorimotor.
C. Formal operational.
D. Preoperational.
Answer: A. Concrete Operational.
