Why do humans naturally gravitate toward using the oblique effect when
constructing our own environments?
Because objects with hard angles are more visually appealing
Because objects with soft angles are more visually appealing
Because horizontals and verticals occur less frequently in the natural world
Because horizontals and verticals occur more frequently in the natural world ------
---CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Because horizontals and verticals occur more
frequently in the natural world
How do intentions influence mirror neurons?
Intentions do not directly influence neurons, signifying that perception and mirror
neurons are not necessarily linked.
The response of neurons is determined by the cognitive interpretation of how
functional the tasks are.
The influence is not direct; mirror neurons cannot differentiate different types of
intentions and contexts.
Mirror neurons address the cause of actions, and respond with varying degrees of
activity based on intentions and context. ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------
,Mirror neurons address the cause of actions, and respond with varying degrees of
activity based on intentions and context.
A community construction project is proposed in two different ways to an
environmentally conscious audience. Group A is told that only 20% of the trees
will be torn down, while Group B is told that 80% of the trees will be saved.
Which statement accurately describes the groups' anticipated responses to the
community project, based on the principles of the framing effect?
Both groups will consider the project equally regardless of appearance of loss and
gain, since statistically the outcome is the same.
Neither group's response can be predicted because expected emotions and
attitudes will vary.
Group B is more likely to favor the project since the focus is on retention and gain
of 80% of the trees, rather than the 20% loss of trees.
Group A is more likely to favor the project since it poses a small overall risk and
loss of 20% of the trees, rather than the 80% gain of trees. ---------CORRECT
ANSWER-----------------Group B is more likely to favor the project since the focus is
on retention and gain of 80% of the trees, rather than the 20% loss of trees.
A student is in a study lounge watching a video for a class and can fully focus on
the video despite people chatting in the background and a clock loudly ticking.
How does the student process different stimuli in order to focus on the desired
task?
,The student filters stimuli through the cocktail party effect.
The student blocks unwanted stimuli using attentional capture.
The student separates different stimuli through dichotic listening.
The student manages all stimuli using divided attention. ---------CORRECT
ANSWER-----------------The student filters stimuli through the cocktail party effect.
A person plans to attend a reception later that night and needs to select an outfit
for the event.
Which statement demonstrates an automatic decision for the person?
They quickly decide on an outfit they typically wear to events without being
consciously aware that they selected it.
They have difficulty deciding what outfit to wear and later forget why they
selected a particular outfit.
They quickly select an outfit they typically wear because it is the most appropriate
for the event.
They have difficulty deciding what outfit to wear and later regret not selecting a
different one. ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------They quickly decide on an
outfit they typically wear to events without being consciously aware that they
selected it.
How did Strayer and Johnston's research influence the study of attention?
, By demonstrating that both attention and response time are negatively impacted
by talking on a mobile device while driving
By demonstrating that attention was negatively impacted by talking on a mobile
device while driving, but response time was not
By demonstrating that response time was negatively impacted by talking on a
mobile device while driving, but attention was not
By demonstrating that neither attention nor response time was negatively
impacted by talking on a mobile device while driving ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----
------------By demonstrating that both attention and response time are negatively
impacted by talking on a mobile device while driving
A researcher presents a video of a street intersection and asks that participants
count how many people walked through the intersection. In the video, a
limousine passes through the intersection.
Which example would demonstrate inattentional blindness?
Some participants lose count of the people because the limousine is an
uncommon vehicle.
Some participants do not notice the limousine because they are focused on the
people.
Some participants lose count of the people because the limousine moves in the
opposite direction.
Some participants do not notice the limousine because they have no experience
with one. ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------Some participants do not notice
the limousine because they are focused on the people.
