Question 1

which of these mf is right

Answer 1

Figures should be clear and simple, avoiding colours where possible, and with correctly labelled axes. Figure A is missing appropriate labels for the scale units and independent variable; Figure B is unnecessarily 3D and uses colours, which may not reproduce well in greyscale; Figure C includes unnecessary gridlines and uses a grey colouring when no colour (open or white) could have been used; APA guidelines do not stipulate the position of the legend. The placement of the legend in all four figures is acceptable, though arguably the top placement appears less cluttered.

CORRECT ANSWER IS D

Question 2

Components to consider when presenting a figure caption…

Answer 2

The figure number should be italicised, and the title itself continues on the same line, ending in a full stop, but should not be italicised. Furthermore, the only capital letter should be the first letter of the first word of the title.

Question 3

Factors to consider when presenting a figure…

Answer 3

The independent variable is represented on the horizontal (x) axis and the dependent variable on the vertical (y) axis. If there is a second independent variable this would be represented by separate lines or columns and indexed with key or legend.

Question 4

Show an example of a correct figure caption…

Answer 4

(Italics) Figure 3. Fixation duration as a function of the delay between the beginning of eye fixation and the onset of the stimulus in Experiment 1.

The caption serves both as an explanation of the figure and as a figure title. It should be a brief but descriptive phrase. After the descriptive phrase, add any information needed to clarify the figure: A reader should not have to refer to the text to decipher the figure’s message.

Question 7

As you walk into your next exam, you notice that everyone is sitting on the floor. You sit on the floor, too. What kind of social norm did you follow?

Descriptive
Injunctive
Reciprocity
Deindividuation

Answer 7

In this scenario, you followed a descriptive social norm. Descriptive norms refer to the observed or common behaviours that people engage in within a specific social context. In this case, when you noticed that everyone else was sitting on the floor, you chose to sit on the floor as well, aligning your behaviour with what you observed others doing. Descriptive norms are based on what is typical or common within a given social group or situation.

Question 16

Name and define each reinforcement schedule:

Answer 16

Continuous Reinforcement: This is when you give your pet a treat every single time they do a trick correctly. It’s like giving them a treat every time they sit or roll over. They quickly learn because they get a reward each time.

Fixed Ratio Reinforcement: In this one, you decide that your pet gets a treat every few times they do a trick. For example, you might give them a treat every third time they sit. They know they need to do the trick a certain number of times to get a treat.

Fixed Interval Reinforcement: Here, you give your pet a treat after a set amount of time. Let’s say you give them a treat every two minutes if they’re sitting nicely. So, they learn to be patient and wait for the treat every two minutes.

Variable Ratio Reinforcement: This is a bit like a surprise! You give your pet a treat, but you don’t say when. It’s random, like a surprise treat after they do the trick a different number of times. It keeps them motivated to do tricks because they never know when the treat is coming.

Variable Interval Reinforcement: In this one, you still give treats after a certain time, but you change the time each time. It’s like saying, “You’ll get a treat after 1 minute, then 3 minutes, then 5 minutes.” It’s a little bit like a surprise, too, because they don’t know exactly when to expect the treat.

Interval=Time
Ratio=Number
