Module 8 Lesson 1 Review

This is the inability to see a problem from a different perspective. 

• Heuristic

• Confirmation Bias

• Fixation

• Algorithms

The vivid memories of the 9/11 terrorist tragedy unduly inflated many people's estimates of the risks associated with air travel. This best illustrates the importance of

• fixation.

• the availability heuristic.

• confirmation bias.

• framing.

An unwillingness to give up our beliefs even when the evidence proves us wrong is called

• the availability heuristic.

• trial and error.

• belief perseverance.

• confirmation bias.

Consumers respond more positively to ground beef advertised as “75 percent lean” than to ground beef described as “25 percent fat.” This illustrates that consumer reactions are influenced by

• belief perseverance.

• confirmation bias.

• the availability heuristic.

• framing.

Intuition is effortless, immediate, and ________________.

Expanding the number of possible solutions to a problem illustrates

• the availability heuristic.

• fixation.

• belief perseverance.

• divergent thinking.

By about age 7, those who have not been exposed to either a spoken or a signed language gradually lose their ability to master any language. This illustrates the importance of ________ for language acquisition.

• a critical period

• an outcome simulation

• telegraphic speech

• the availability heuristic

Noam Chomsky suggested that all human languages share a(n)

• universal grammar.

• neural network.

• outcome simulation.

• algorithm.

This is something that matures after receptive language. 

• Language

• Productive Language

• telegraphic speech.

• a universal grammar.

The system of rules in a language that enables us to understand and communicate with and understand others is called

• convergent thinking.

• telegraphic speech.

• grammar.

• an algorithm.
