Module 34 - 36

Ms. C earned a good grade in one of her Master's classes. This prompted her to think of other times she has done well in school. This experience provides an example of

• Retroactive interference
• Implicit memory
• Mood-congruent memory
• Iconic memory

Daniel was asked to write down as many possible uses for a toothpick that he could think of.To complete this task Daniel would rely on

• Convergent Thinking
• Divergent Thinking
• Framing
• The availability heuristic

When someone mentions getting ice cream, Ms. C immediately thinks of Graeter's. In this instance, Graeter's Ice Cream is a

• Fixation
• Algorithm
• Heuristic
• Prototype

The smallest distinctive sound unit of language is a

• Prototype
• Phenotype
• Morpheme
• Phoneme

Noam Chomsky has emphasized that the acquisition of language by children is facilitated by

• A) an inborn readiness to learn grammatical rules
• B) their ability to imitate the words and grammar modeled by parents
• C) the learned association of word sounds with various objects, events, actions, and qualities
• D) the positive reinforcement that adults give children for speaking correctly

A televised image of a starving child had a greater impact on Mr. White's perception of the extensiveness of world hunger than did a statistical chart summarizing the tremendous scope of the problem. This suggests that his assessment of the world hunger problem is influenced by

• A) the belief perseverance phenomenon
• B) the representativeness heuristic
• C) confirmation bias
• D) the availability heuristic

In the words “helped” and “called,” the “ed” ending is a(n)

Noam Chomsky's language theory included the idea that:

• Language development occurs between the ages of three and five
• Children learn language through positive and negative reinforcement
• Children model language development from those around them
• Children have an innate mental grammar

A prototype is a:

• Step-by-step procedure for solving problems
• Mental grouping of similar objects, events or people
• Best example of a particular category
• Simple thinking strategy for solving problems efficiently

Confirmation bias refers to the tendency to:

• Allow preexisting beliefs to distort logical reasoning
• Cling to one’s initial conceptions after the basis on which they were formed has been discredited
• Search randomly through alternative solutions when problem solving
• Look for information that is consistent with one’s beliefs
