What is the background of the study of psychology? - ExamTests 1

MC-questions with chapter 1

Question 1

Which philosophy can be seen as opposite to empiricism?

1. Dualism
2. Materialism
3. Expirism
4. Nativism

Question 2

In his dualistic philosophy, Descartes assumed that behavior that humans and animals have in common (such as being able to move) must have been caused by ... and not by ...

1. the soul; the body
2. the muscles; the senses
3. the body; the soul
4. the senses; the muscles

Question 3

The ideas of Thomas Hobbes contributed to the development of a philosophy known as empiricism. The following is central to empiricism:

1. Elemental ideas are innate and do not have to be acquired through experiences.
2. All human knowledge ultimately comes from sensory perception.
3. The observable actions of humans and animals must be studied, not the sensory perception.
4. No relationship can be made between human thinking and human experiences.

Question 4

Gray deals with a number of foundations for scientific psychology. Which of the following principles is included? The idea that ...

1. ... thoughts and feelings can be traced to brain processes.
2. ... the human body that produces behavior and mental processes is the result of natural selection.
3. ... the way an individual behaves is influenced by his environment during life.

Question 5

Descartes proposed a version of dualism in which an important step was taken to psychology as a science. However, this version is not suitable as a basis for current psychology, because ...

1. ... according to this version the body and mind are two separate systems.
2. ... according to this version all behavior occurs from physical functions.
3. ... according to this version, thinking cannot be scientifically investigated.

Question 6

According to materialism you can…

1. … study because it is caused by neurons.
2. ... do not study, because the mind does not exist, everything is matter and energy.
3. ... see it as something that does not exist.

Question 7

Human behavior can be studied from different perspectives within psychology. A psychologist who in her research into sexual jealousy emphasizes the role of our beliefs and interpretations has apparently opted for a….

1. Genetic approach
2. Neuro approach
3. Cognitive-psychological approach
4. Developmental psychological approach

Open questions with chapter 1

Question 1

What are the three fundamental ideas in psychology?

Question 2

1. The neural level.
2. The cognitive level.
3. The cultural level.
4. The evolutionary level.
5. The genetic level.
6. The level of development.
7. The social level.

Question 3

Does the term 'association by contiguity' belong to empiricism or nativism? Explain.

Answers MC-questions with chapter 1

Question 1

D. Nativism

Question 2

C. the body; the soul

Question 3

B. All human knowledge ultimately comes from sensory perception.

Question 4

A. ... thoughts and feelings can be traced to brain processes.

Question 5

C. ... according to this version, thinking cannot be scientifically investigated.

Question 6

A. … study because it is caused by neurons.

Question 7

C. Cognitive-psychological approach

Example answers Open questions with chapter 1

Question 1

Behavior ultimately has a physical cause that can be scientifically investigated.

• The way a person behaves is strongly influenced by his environment.
• The human body was created through natural selection (and that body provides the mental experiences that we investigate in psychology).

Question 2

The neural level, the evolutionary level and the genetic level.

Question 3

This understanding is part of the mindset of the empiricists, who argue that everything that people learn comes from the information we receive from our senses, from the experiences we gain (nativists think that there is certain knowledge with which one is born, and that does not have to be learned). The concept of 'association by contiguity' means that we learn associations when events occur one after the other. So we learn this thanks to our sensory experiences (and is not innate).

What different methods are there in the field of psychology? - ExamTests 2

MC-questions with chapter 2

Question 1

In a primary school, children are tested for their social skills and questions with chapter are asked about their leisure activities. The research shows that children who watch soap operas a lot are more socially competent than children who do so less. The researchers recommend that children should watch soap operas more to stimulate their social skills. This recommendation is…. because this is about ... research.

1. justified; experimental.
2. justified; correlational.
3. not justified; experimental.
4. not justified; correlational.

Question 2

In science, "scepticism" means:

1. Refusing to believe a theory that contradicts data from previous research.
2. Searching for alternative explanations and evidence that can refute a theory, even if it is your own theory.
3. Careful observation and accurate recording of data.
4. Have no personal prejudices ('biases') or beliefs.

Question 3

The behavior of Clever Hans, a horse that seemed to be able to count, turned out to be largely attributable to ...

1. ... test leader sees what he wants to see (observer bias).
2. ... interpretation errors (inferential bias).
3. … test leader expectations (observer-expectancy effects).

Question 4

Which of the following statements is true?

1. Hypotheses support facts, hypotheses are derived from theories.
2. Facts support hypotheses, hypotheses are derived from theories.
3. Hypotheses support facts and are derived from theories.

Question 5

With a correlational study you cannot…

1. … test causal hypotheses.
2. ... make statements about relationships.
3. ... calculate strength of relationships.

Question 6

In a driving proficiency study, a researcher uses two conditions. In the alcohol condition, test subjects will receive an alcoholic snack before their driving skills will be measured; in the non-alcohol condition they will receive a glass of soda. Subjects can choose themselves in which condition they are classified. What can you say about this setup? There is talk of ...

1. ... bias and that actually makes the results unusable.
2. ... the regression effect and this makes the results less reliable.
3. ... observer bias and this ensures that the results can be interpreted less well.

Question 7

A researcher trains a group of participants in an experiment to use a certain solution strategy; another group of participants does not receive training. Both groups must then solve 15 problems in 30 minutes. The researcher registers the number of correctly solved problems. What is the dependent variable in the above experiment?

1. The number of correctly solved problems.
2. The solution strategy.
3. Whether or not to receive training.

Question 8

Recently in the news: Research involving 645 children who were members of a club and 679 children who were not, shows that membership of a club has positive effects on children. Children who are members of a club perform better at school, they use fewer drugs and alcohol and they connect with 'gangs' less often than children who are not members of a club. The positive effects are due to the fact that the children get a stronger self-image and therefore a greater self-confidence when they are involved in a club. The clubs that are being investigated are the so-called 'Boys and Girls Clubs'. These institutions can best be compared with youth centers in the Netherlands. Access to these clubs is free.

Based on the above information you can conclude that ...

1. … It is right to conclude that membership of a club leads to better school performance, but it is wrongly concluded that this is due to a stronger self-image and a higher self-confidence, since school performance is, but constructs such as self-image and self-confidence are not directly measurable.
2. ... it is wrongly concluded that membership of a club has positive effects on children.
3. ... it is right to conclude that better school performance is due to a stronger self-image and greater self-confidence.

Question 9

We call a conceptual model to explain existing facts a:

1. Hypothesis
2. Theory
3. Prediction
4. Speculation

Question 10

In a double-blind study:

1. The researcher knows nothing about the purpose of the research.
2. The participant does not know anything about the purpose of the study.
3. Both the researcher and the participant know nothing of the purpose of the research.
4. Both the people who enter the data into the computer, the researcher and the participant know nothing about the purpose of the research.

Question 11

With which term do we describe the systematic influence of a variable other than the construct to be measured in cognitive tests?

1. Assimilation
2. Bias
3. Reliability

Question 12

Suppose a company measures the personality of employees with a test that measures how quickly people can type a piece of text. The test is always performed under the same conditions and always delivers the same results with repeated sampling. However, a psychologist examining the test comes to the conclusion that it is a bad test. The test does not measure what the test should measure, namely personality. What is wrong according to the psychologist?

1. The test is not reliable.
2. The test is invalid.
3. The test is not standardized.

Question 13

If a test is said to show bias , it means that this test ...

1. ... systematically disadvantage or favor certain groups.
2. ... measures something other than what he says he measures.
3. ... has outdated standards.

Example answers Open questions with chapter 2

Question 1

Descriptive statistics are used to summarize large amounts of data. Inferential statistics are used to examine the extent to which it can be assumed that the results of an investigation were not due to chance.

Question 2

Mathematically, statistical significance means that the p is less than 0.05. In an experiment this means that the chance that the results found are caused by chance is less than 0.05. This is very important for researchers. To guarantee statistical significance, they can pay attention to the following:

• The size of the observed effect. The greater the effect, the smaller the chance that it is caused by chance.
• The number of individual observations. The larger the group, the smaller the chance of unexamined causes for the effect.
• The variability of the data within each group. The less variability, the better.

Question 3

• Always remain sceptical.
• Always experiment with controlled variables to prevent other influences.
• Beware of observer-expectancy effects (= the expectation of certain behavior)!

Example answers Open questions with chapter 3

Question 1

• In sexual reproduction, all genes are randomly restructured. This makes countless combinations of genes possible.
• Mutations are genetic errors that occur during the reproduction of DNA. They ensure that the DNA is not exactly the same as the original, thereby promoting variability.

Question 2

Distal explanations look at the meaning of behavior for reproduction or survival. Proximate explanations attempt to explain behavior based on causes in the immediate environment. An example from the book talks about a singing bird trying to seduce a female. A distal explanation for this would be that the male wants to reproduce. A proximate explanation could be that the sun is shining, the sex hormones in the male are thereby activated and the male starts singing.

Question 3

Kin selection theory means that cooperative behavior towards blood relatives is caused because an individual wants their genes to survive, and a blood relative is most similar to the individual in terms of genes. In fact, altruism is a form of survival urge (for what ultimately naturally survives is the genes of the individual, and not himself).

Question 4

• Everything that comes from nature is moral. This is not true. In nature things are not good or bad, they are just there.
• Genes determine the behavior completely and independently of the environment in which the animal / person grows up. This is not true. Genes and environment determine behavior in a continuous interaction.

Example answers Open questions with chapter 4

Question 1

An action potential is a current of changes in the electrical voltage along the membrane that rapidly passes from the end of the axon to the other. The sodium channels in the membrane open during an action potential. Due to the higher concentration of sodium outside the cell and the electrical power of the positive outside, sodium is pushed into the cell. This creates an equal electrical voltage inside and outside the membrane, this is called the depolarization phase. As soon as this happens, the sodium channels close, but the potassium channels remain open. Due to the higher concentration of potassium in the cell and the electrical force of the temporarily positive interior, the potassium is pushed out of the cell.

Question 2

A neuron in most cases has a cell body, which covers the largest surface. The body consists of a cell nucleus and a number of other structures. Furthermore, neurons often have dendrites, wires that receive information from other cells. Axons are other wires on a neuron that actually send information to other cells. They do this via the axon terminal.

Question 3

The resting potential means that the neuron has an electrically negative charge (of -70 mV). The resting potential is maintained by the potassium-sodium pump and by forces related to concentration and charge. Sodium enters the cell, and that ultimately causes a resting potential to turn into an action potential.

Question 4

For this measurement you can use the best functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). By measuring electric fields, the activity of all parts of the entire brain can be viewed, not just the activity directly under the skull, as with an EEG. An EEG measurement is more useful if you want to know exactly when a certain activity takes place, instead of where.

Question 5

This is the thalamus, a small area that connects different parts of the brain. For example, it passes on information from the sensory pathways to the sensory areas of the cerebral cortex.

Question 6

They are both forms of speech impairment. Broca's aphasia uses a telegraphic form of talking. People only use essential words, but cannot make normal sentences. For example 'go to the store to get bread'. Wernicke's aphasia can be seen as opposed. It is not possible to come up with the right words and terms, but the speech remains fluent. This ends in a meaningless stream of words.

What are the mechanisms of motivation and emotion? - ExamTests 5

MC-questions with chapter 5

1. fast, irregular waves; the non-synchronized firing of neurons
2. slow, irregular waves; the synchronized firing of neurons
3. fast, irregular waves; the synchronized firing of neurons
4. slow, steady waves; the non-synchronized firing of neurons

1. the amygdala is the "rapid warning system" in the brain.
2. the amygdala receives signals via a subcortical route and via a cortical route.
3. the amygdala only responds to consciously observed stimuli.
4. the amygdala is part of the lymphatic system.

Question 3

With laugh therapy it is assumed that you will become happier by laughing. According to Ekman's facial feedback theory, the following applies here:

1. ... laughter also causes feelings of happiness.
2. ... laughing muscles give feedback via a fast route through the frontal lobes on processes in a slower route in the amygdala.
3. ... emotion can initially be disconnected from the actual state of mind, whereby ultimately the emotion is also experienced.

Question 4

Research in monkeys shows that differences in the brain between males and females that are associated with sexual behavior are determined by the presence or absence of… around the…

1. dopamine; adolescence
2. testosterone; adolescence
3. testosterone; birth

Question 5

Emotion and expression are closely linked. Yet someone can adopt a poker face despite the fact that this person experiences very intense emotions. This is possible because ...

1. ... the control of facial muscles can be consciously controlled and emotions are always a reflex.
2. ... it takes some time to form a facial expression. This creates space for other signals and / or control.
3. ... emotion and expression can be controlled separately.

Question 6

Research into the psychobiological background of behavior shows that sexual behavior in women is probably mainly determined by…

1. … male sex hormones (testosterone).
2. ... the state of mind in which she finds herself.
3. ... neurotransmitters such as dopamine.

Question 7

With laugh therapy you have to pretend that you are smiling, even if you don't feel like it at all. The claim is that it will make you happier. Is that correct?

1. Yes, because the facial muscles give feedback to the brain.
2. Yes, because this makes you relax and that gives you a positive feeling.
3. Yes, because then the lucky hormone endorphin is produced.

Question 8

What is meant by the theory of maintenance and protection of sleep?

1. The function of sleep is to conserve energy at times when being awake is of little value and potentially dangerous.
2. The function of sleep is to restore exhaustion caused by daytime efforts.
3. The function of sleep is to consolidate memories, especially during REM sleep.
4. The function of sleep is to maintenance of the brain.

Question 9

Before conditioning, dopamine will be released when receiving food, so that a relationship is established between the food and what preceded it. After completion of the conditioning, dopamine will be released in response to the bubble, so that a relationship is established between the sound of the bubble and the circumstances in which the bubble sounds.

1. When the animal is conditioned, dopamine is released into the nucleus accumbens as soon as the animal receives the food.

Example answers Open questions with chapter 5

Question 1

Reproductive drive, educational drive, regulatory drive, social drive and safety drive.

Question 2

The nucleus accumbens (part of the medial forebrain bundle) is an essential area in terms of rewards. This was proven by means of rats, placing electrodes on the nucleus accumbens. The area was electrically stimulated if the rats were to press a kind of button. It turned out that the animals started to push the button more and more often, in order to do it for hours on end, so that the pleasant feeling (the feeling of reward) would be released by the NA.

Question 3

An important reason for the addictive aspect of drugs is that a lot of dopamine is released during use in that part of the nucleus accumbens that is responsible for reward-related learning. That means that with drug use associations are learned between all the cues that are in the environment and the feeling that the drugs bring (the reward). As a result, an addict may become in need of drugs when seeing his daily environment. Hans will not find many cues in Austria that reminded him of drugs in the Netherlands (which made him use it), so he heals quickly. Back in the Netherlands, everything suddenly reminds him of drugs and the feeling that comes with it. A relapse is then very likely.

Question 4

The term androgen is a collective name for a category of hormones that are produced in male animals. An example of this is testosterone.

Question 5

The amygdala is the main source of unconscious emotional response. In the event of danger, it provides the right fear or anger response. Research shows that this type of response to damage to the amygdala is largely absent. The amygdala is also involved in positive emotions.
