MC questions
Question 1
Selective attention models proposed by Treisman, Broadbent and Deutsch & Deutsch differ in the extent to which irrelevant (ignored) information is processed to a meaningful (semantic) level. What is the correct order of the models, from little meaning processing to much meaning processing?
Broadbent, Deutsch & Deutch, Treisman
Deutsch & Deutsch, Treisman, Broadbent
Broadbent, Treisman, Deutsch & Deutsch
Deutsch & Deutsch, Broadbent, Treisman
Question 2
In a test, the assignment is to complete the letters 'l-c-m-t-e' into a complete word. The chance that this will succeed is greater if the word 'locomotive' has been read some time before (the 'repetition priming' effect).
This chance depends on being able to remember the earlier offer of the word in a "recall" task.
This chance depends on being able to recognize the word in a "recognition" task
This chance is independent of being able to remember or recognize the word.
This chance depends on both remembering and recognizing the word.
Question 3
Broadbent's model for visual attention contains a "decision channel" with limited processing capacity. What inspired this idea of limited capacity?
The discoveries in the field of neuropsychology
Through the discovery of the modular organization of the brain
The computer and telecommunications technology
The laws from Gestalt psychology
Question 4
Characteristic of the reading disorder "deep dyslexia" is / are:
Semantic errors in reading (for example, calling a jacket a skirt)
Patients with deep dyslexia do not read words as existing words
Both A and B are correct
Neither A nor B is correct
Question 5
What is the most important characteristic of "form" agnosia (compared to "integrative" agnosia)?
In form agnosia, there is also "unilateral neglect"
In form agnosia, the patient can not only not visually recognize objects, but also not after them to touch.
In form agnosia, the patient cannot copy drawings.
Form agnosia is primarily a disorder of the "true" system.
Question 6
The best estimate of the memory capacity is:
Seven (± two) units
The capacity cannot be determined because it depends on the nature of the units
Four (± one) units
For numbers 7 ± 2 and for letters 4 ± 1
Question 7
The expression "perception lies in the brain of the perceiver" is the most consistent with which approach in visual perception research?
The "feature" approach
Gibson's "perception for action" theory
The theory of visual perception by David Marr
The "constructivist" theory of Richard Gregory and others
Question 8
The visual system in the brain has two "flows" or "streams": the dorsal flow or stream and the ventral flow or stream. What is probably the function of the ventral flow or stream?
Controlling movement based on perception (for example, when grabbing something).
Fast, not very detailed and partly unconscious perception.
Both A and B are correct
A and B are both false
Question 9
Perseveration is one of the characteristics of the mental disorder known as 'dysexecutive' syndrome. This indicates:
An inability to suppress responses to objects.
An inability to let go of a solution strategy that is unsuccessful and replace it with a better one.
An inability to make reasonable estimates based on general knowledge.
An inability to estimate the frequency of events.
Question 10
Richard Gregory distinguished between 3 types of visual illusions: Physical phenomena, with the example ....... (a), illusions due to physiological processes in the brain that are not influenced top-down, with the example ... ..... (b) and illusions due to top-down influence on perception, with the example ......... (c).
1) Color after effect, 2) Mirage, 3) Muller-Lyer illusion
1) Mirage, 2) Hermann grid, 3) Ames chamber
1) Mirage, 2) Muller-Lyer illusion, 3) Hermann grid
1) Color after effect, 2) Ames chamber, 3) Hermann grid
Question 11
What explanation has not been given over the years for the "Blindsight" phenomenon?
Blindsight is the result of the operation of an evolutionary primitive "non-striate" system
Blindsight is the result of the operation of a "where system" (magno system, which exists alongside a "what system").
Blindsight does not really exist: it is the result of "stray light" in the part of the visual field where the patient is not blind.
Blindsight is the result of new connections between parts of the brain that have arisen after the damage occurred.
Question 12
What does the "law of similarity" in Gestalt psychology state?
That "figure" and "background" are easier to separate as they resemble each other
That elements in the visual field can be grouped together based on common color or shape
That two stimuli that are equal are processed faster when they are presented together than when each stimulus is presented alone each
None of the above
