The false statement about the ethological perspective is:

b) Imprinting suggests that animals are adaptive and flexible.

Imprinting, as studied by Konrad Lorenz, actually suggests that certain behaviors are innate and occur at specific critical or sensitive periods in an animal’s development, which makes them less flexible and more fixed rather than adaptive and flexible.

Q

Two key concepts related to the classical conditioning process are
Question options:

a)

generalization; discrimination

b)

stimulus; response

c)

internalization; externalization

d)

assimilation; accommodation

A

a)

generalization; discrimination

Generalization:

Definition: Generalization occurs when a conditioned response (CR) is triggered by stimuli that are similar to the original conditioned stimulus (CS), even though these stimuli have never been paired with the unconditioned stimulus (US).
Example: If a dog has been conditioned to salivate to the sound of a bell because the bell has been paired with food, the dog might also start to salivate to similar sounds, like a doorbell or a phone ringing.
Discrimination:

Definition: Discrimination is the process by which an organism learns to respond differently to various stimuli that are similar but not identical. The organism learns to distinguish between the conditioned stimulus and other similar stimuli.
Example: If the dog learns that only a specific bell tone is followed by food and not other similar sounds, it will salivate only to that specific bell tone and not to the others.

A

d)

the stability-instability issue

Developmental stability and instability In some cases, developmental researchers are interested in knowing how individuals change or stay the same compared with others. This is often the case when the goal is to describe average change over a period of development and when we want to assess whether an individual is developing in expected ways. To do this, developmentalists study rank order across the developmental period of interest (Figure 1.5). If rank order remains the same, this demonstrates developmental stability—everyone is developing at the same rate. Developmental instability, in contrast, suggests that individuals are changing in different ways compared with one anothe

Q

Which of the following statements regarding the development of vision in infants is true?
Question options:

a)

The visual preference paradigm has been used to determine the differences that infants can detect.

b)

Newborns initially prefer the interior features of objects over their edges.

c)

A newborn’s focal length is about 30–45 cms.

d)

Colour perception is fully developed by two months.

A

The correct statement regarding the development of vision in infants is:

a) The visual preference paradigm has been used to determine the differences that infants can detect.

Explanation:

The visual preference paradigm is a widely used method to study infant vision, where researchers present infants with two stimuli and measure their looking time towards each stimulus to infer preferences or differences detected by the infants.
This paradigm helps in understanding what infants are capable of perceiving and discriminating visually, such as differences in shapes, patterns, or contrasts.
Let’s briefly discuss why the other options are not correct:

b) Newborns initially prefer the interior features of objects over their edges: This statement is not accurate. Newborns typically prefer high-contrast edges and patterns, as they are more salient and easier to detect.

c) A newborn’s focal length is about 30–45 cms: This statement is incorrect. A newborn’s focal length is much shorter, generally around 20-25 cm. It gradually increases as the visual system develops.

d) Colour perception is fully developed by two months: This statement is also incorrect. While infants can detect colors from birth, color perception undergoes significant development in the first few months of life, becoming more nuanced and refined over time.

Therefore, option a) is the true statement regarding the development of vision in infants.

Q

Question options:

a)

was not necessary for successful development

b)

was purely a result of reinforcement

c)

is an inborn developmental process.

d)

None of the answers are correct.

A

c) is an inborn developmental process.

Explanation:

Harlow’s research with rhesus monkeys demonstrated that attachment is an inborn developmental process.
He showed that infant monkeys preferred a surrogate mother that was soft and comforting (made of terry-cloth) over a surrogate that provided food but was made of wire.
This emphasized the importance of comfort and emotional security (contact comfort) in the attachment process.
Harlow’s findings challenged the prevailing behaviorist notion at the time that attachment was solely a result of feeding (reinforcement).
Therefore, option c) correctly reflects Harlow’s findings and contributions to our understanding of attachment in developmental psychology.

Which of the following statements about information processing perspective in early childhood is false?
Question options:

All the answers are false.

b)

Recognition in preschoolers is good, but recall is poor.

c)

The ability to direct attention is well established in preschool children.

d)

The information processing perspective has been criticized as being too simplistic.

A

a) All the answers are false.

Explanation:

This statement implies that all statements provided are false, which is not necessarily the case. It suggests a blanket negation of all options, which is not a specific critique or fact related to the information processing perspective in early childhood.
Let’s evaluate the other options for accuracy:

b) Recognition in preschoolers is good, but recall is poor.: This statement aligns with findings from the information processing perspective. Preschoolers typically show better performance in tasks involving recognition (identifying previously encountered information) compared to recall (retrieving information without explicit cues).

c) The ability to direct attention is well established in preschool children.: This statement is generally true. Preschool-aged children demonstrate improvement in their ability to focus and direct attention as part of their cognitive development.

d) The information processing perspective has been criticized as being too simplistic.: This statement is also true. Critics argue that the information processing perspective, while valuable, may oversimplify the complexities of cognitive development by focusing primarily on cognitive processes like attention, memory, and problem-solving without fully considering social and emotional factors.
