Question

38. Consider a general assembly line theory of cognition that involves four stages of processing, A, B, C, and D. The theory states that each stage takes 50 milliseconds to complete. How long would the following tasks take to complete. Task 1 involves stages A and B; Task 2 involves stages, A, B and D; and Task 3 involves all stages.

(a) 200, 150, 100

(b) 100, 50, 0

(c) 50, 100, 150

(d) 100, 150, 200 39.

Using the above general theory involving four stages of processing, which of the following outcomes could not be explained by the theory? Each letter below represents the time taken to complete that stage of processing.

(a) A+B+C < A+B

(b) A < A+B+C

(c) A+B = C+D

(d) D+C > A+B 40.

Continuing from the above question, which of the following statements best explains why the correct answer for the outcome above could not be explained by the theory?

(a) The time taken to complete a task with more processing stages should not be less than the time taken to complete a task with fewer processing stages

(b) The time taken to complete a task with a single processing stage should be greater than the time taken to complete a task with many processing stages

(c) The time taken to complete two tasks that each involve a combination of different processing stages should not take the same time according to the theory.

(d) The time taken to complete a task that combines two later processing stages should be shorter than the time taken to complete a task that combines two earlier processing stages 41. Theory A makes

Explanation / Answer

38). (d) 100, 150, 200

It is given that each stage takes about 50 milliseconds.

Task 1 - Stages A and B - 50+ 50 = 100 millseconds

Task 2- Stages A, B, and C - 50+50+50 = 150 milliseconds

Task 3- Stages A, B, C, and D - 50+50+50+50 = 200 milliseconds
