,Reed conducted research demonstrating that people had difficulty locating a parallelogram in
their mental image of a six-sided star. This research - .b. supports the idea that we use verbal
descriptions to store mental images.
The research on cognitive maps suggests that - c. people create cognitive maps from several
successive views, if the area is very large.
Which of the following students provides the best summary of the research on imagery and
distance - c. Kristen: "We take longer to scan a large mental distance than a small mental
distance."
Suppose that you participate in a study in which the experimenter has strong beliefs about how
the study should turn out, and these biases influence how you perform. This would be an
example of - a. experimenter expectancy.
Suppose that you have just studied a map of a region, and you have formed a cognitive map for
it. Based on what you know from Chapter 7, we could predict that - b. you would estimate
that two cities are far apart if there are many other cities in between
uppose that you have a mental image of your favourite male actor. If that image is stored in a
propositional code, the representation would emphasize - b. a correspondence between the
mental imagery and perceptual imagery.
The research on mental rotation has shown that -
Suppose that you are drawing, from memory, a map of the streets and buildings in a city you
know well. If you were to show a bias in your recall of the buildings, you would be likely to -
,According to the Atkinson-Shiffrin model, long-term memory - . contains memories that are
relatively permanent.
According to the first chapter in your textbook, research in cognitive neuroscience - b. often
obtains brain images while people are working on a cognitive task.
A psychologist who favours the gestalt approach would be most likely to criticize the fact that
behaviourists - c. ignore the context in which a behaviour occurs.
A researcher wants to study how people's attention shifts when they see a visual stimulus in an
unexpected portion of a screen that they are viewing; this attention shift occurs in just a fraction
of a second. Which of the following techniques is this researcher most likely to use? - d. the
event-related potential technique (ERP)

task
One component of your general knowledge focuses on semantic memory. Which of the
following would be an example of semantic memory? - your knowledge that the word "bear"
is similar to the word "lion
Suppose that you attend a lecture on the bottom-up processes involved in speech perception.
The lecturer is likely to emphasize - how the listener's auditory system registers and
transmits information about the speech sounds.
The perspective called the "parallel distributed processing approach" includes the word
"parallel" in its name because - the human brain can process several items simultaneously.
, The term "pure AI" refers to - "Cognitive psychology" is sometimes used as a synonym for
"cognition."
An important characteristic of the connectionist approach is that - is flexible enough to
explain many cognitive skills.
How does the functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) technique compare with other
imaging techniques - It is more effective than the PET scan in measuring brain activity that
occurs rapidly.
Based on the discussion of artificial intelligence in Chapter 1, - both computers and humans
have limited capacities.
Which of the following early psychologists conducted research that could provide the most
information about how people remember complex events in everyday life? - . William James
A research team studies which parts of the brain are active when a participant looks at a
photograph of a person, and tries to judge how intelligent that person is. This kind of study is an
example of - . social cognitive neuroscience.
When neuroscientists use PET (positron emission tomography) scans - they assess the
regions of the brain in which blood flow increases while a person is performing a task.
What is the current status of the Atkinson-Shiffrin model of memory? - b. Some studies
support the distinction between short-term memory and long-term memory, but other studies
suggest that these two forms of memory are actually similar.
Suppose that several cognitive scientists are trying to program a computer so that it solves a
particular problem in the same way a human does, taking into account that a human might
