COGSCI 1B FINAL EXAM 2025| ACTUAL EXAM
QUESTIONS WITH 100% VERIFIED ANSWERS
why should there be a cheater detection module - CORRECT-ANSWER-
cooperative behavior has good genetic basis
act-r hybird cognitive architecture - CORRECT-ANSWER-adaptive control of
thought - rational
cognitive architecture with modular organization that was developed by john r
anderson in 1976
it is hybrid in sense that incorporates both symbolic and subsymbolic information
processing
john r anderson - CORRECT-ANSWER-1976
cognitive architecture with modular organization
,2|Page
All of the above modules are encoded in the form of physical symbols - CORRECT-
ANSWER-perceptual motor layer - perceptual module in turn consists of visual
module, audition module
motor module consists of speech module, manual model
communication between modules on different layers take place via buffers
(workspaces)
cognitive layer
declarative memory is organized in "chunks"
procedural memory is encoded as production rules; action for system to perform
production rules can be nested within each other so that output of a given
production rule wil trigger firing of another production rules
what makes act-r a hybrid architecture is - CORRECT-ANSWER-that the symbolic
modular architecture is run on a subsymbolic base
,3|Page
act-r is designed to operate serially so that at any given moment only one
production rule can be active
- pattern matching module controls which production rule gains access to the
buffer by working out which production rule has highest utility at the moment of
selection
depth perception - visual cliff experiment - CORRECT-ANSWER-infants who have
had experience crawling develop wariness of heights
6-7 month old infants who crawl or move around on glass show fear
younger infants who have not had experience crawling do not show fear
piagettian stages of cognitive development - CORRECT-ANSWER-piaget
theory of how humans acquire, construct, and use knowledge
piaget observed that children of different ages made different kinds of mistakes
when solving problems
not little adults that know less, they think differently
, 4|Page
four developmental stages
four developmental stages - CORRECT-ANSWER-sensorimotor
preoperational
concreate operations
formal operations
sensorimotor stage - CORRECT-ANSWER-birth -2 yr
children act on objects, coordinate sensory experience from these interactions
and form schemas about objects
they learn to think about aspects of environment outside of the reach of their
senses
object permanence - understanding object exists even when cannot be seen
