11-Anecdotal evidence A. Is often concrete, vivid, and memorable B- Tends to influence people C. Is fundamentally flawed and unreliable D. ALL, A, B & C are correct E- None of the above Neurons convey information about the strength of stimuli by varying: 12- A- Impulse facilitation B- The size of their action potentials C. The speed of their action potentials D- None of the above 13-The Thalamus can be characterized as: A- A relay system B- A bridge between the two central hemispheres C- A regulatory mechanism D- The consciousness switch of the brain 14- After repeating pairings of a tone with meat powder, Pavlov found a dog would salivate when the tone is presented alone. salivation to the tone is a (n): A- Conditioned response B- Conditioned stimulus c- Unconditioned response D- Unconditioned stimulus 15- In a Skinner box, the dependent variable usually is: A- The force with which the switch is pressed or the disk is pecked B- The schedule of reinforcement used C- The rate of responding D- The speed of the cumulative recorder 16-A primary reinforcer hareinforcing properties;, a properties A- Conditioned; Unconditioned B- Biological; acquired C- Weak; potent D- Immediate; delayed E- All of the aboveExplanation / Answer
11. Correct Answer - D
Anecdotal evidences is not reliable as it is a form of casual data, but it is concrete and vivid, and tends to influence people.
12. Correct Answer - D
None of the options are correct. Information about strength of stimuli is conveyed by the rate fo firing of action potentials.
13. Correct Answer - A
Thalamus is the relay station in the brain as it is responsible in relaying of sensory information, motor signals to the cerebral cortex.
14. Correct Answer - A
After the tone was paired up with meat powder, the tone generated salivation, Hence, the tone became the conditioned stimulus and the salivation which it generated became the conditioned response.
15. Correct Answer - C
In the skinner box experiment, designed by B.F Skinner, the rate of responding of the rat was the dependent variable.
16. Correct Answer - B
The primary reinforcers have biological reinforcing properties such as food, rest, comfort etc and secondary reinforcers have acquired reinforcing properties such as money.
