Cognition Core Principles,
History, and Research Methods
(Revel Chapter 1, 2026)
which of the following is the first step in the process of cognition when reading the
question," how many hands did aristotle have" - Answer--sensory processing
when assessing the question "how many hands did aristotle have" which of the
following pieces of information would be most useful to retrieve from memory? -
Answer--aristotle was a man
how does the question, "what is 723 divided by 6?" differ in terms of cognition from the
question "how many hands did aristotle have" - Answer--it involves the interpretation of
procedural knowledge
why does the question "does robin have wings" take less time to answer than he
question"does a robin have feet" - Answer--wings are more readily associated with birds
than legs
, which of the following best describes the mental processes that occur when answering
simple factual questions like "does a taxi have wheels" - Answer--the mind rapidly
matches external sensory information against memory and then assembles the
meaning
sensory inputs first interact with the memory system when they - Answer--become
encoded by perpetual mechanisms
doug studies vocabulary for hours and has the list down pat, but he tries and fails to
come up with the definition of a tricky word while taking the actual test. which of the
following describes his failure of memory? - Answer--doug did not successfully retain
the definition of the word in his mental storage.
which of the following best encapsulates the definition of cognition? - Answer--the
collection of processes used to perceive and use information from the environment
which of the following questions is most likely to fall under the purview of cognitive
psychology? - Answer--how much brighter does one light source have to be than
another for an observer to notice a difference?
why do most studies of cognition lack direct ecological validity? - Answer--the extreme
complexity of human cognition requires the study of individual minute components
how did aristotle's thinking influence the foundations of psychology - Answer--he
insisted on using objective observation to formulate a theory of how learning takes place
how did john p watson reshape the early study of psychology - Answer--he dismissed
the investigation of internal mental processes as fundamentally unscientific.
which of the following best summarizes noam chomsk critique of bf skinners
understanding of verbal learning - Answer--skinner used the terminology of classical
conditioning in an imprecise and nonscientific manner
how did the development of verbal learning studies contribute to the birth of cognitive
psychology? - Answer--the discovery of influences and knowledge beyond simple
co-occurrence associations between memorized words pointed to the existence of
mental processes.
