1What triggers the initial physiological stage of perception (Wahrnehmung)?
A.Reizaufnahme durch Sinnesorgane (sensory organs receiving stimuli)
B.Direct activation of long-term memory with no sensory input
C.An immediate motor response occurring without any sensory input
D.Random neural firing unrelated to any external stimulus
Explanation: Perception begins with sensory organs (Sinnesorgane) receiving external stimuli (Reizaufnahme), which are then processed (Reizverarbeitung) by the nervous system.
2What do "Gestaltgesetze" (Gestalt laws of perceptual organization) explain?
A.How the mind organizes individual sensory elements into coherent, meaningful wholes
B.How muscles physically contract during exercise
C.How memories are permanently stored without any decay
D.How the immune system responds to invading pathogens
Explanation: Gestaltgesetze describe principles (e.g., proximity, similarity, closure) by which the perceptual system groups individual elements into organized, meaningful patterns.
3The "Halo-Effekt" in person perception describes the tendency to:
A.Let one positive (or negative) trait of a person influence the overall impression of their other, unrelated traits
B.Perceive all people identically, regardless of any individual traits
C.Forget a person's appearance immediately after meeting them
D.Base judgments solely on objective, measurable data
Explanation: The Halo-Effekt occurs when one salient trait (e.g., attractiveness or competence) unduly colors the overall impression of a person, even for unrelated characteristics.
4The "Pygmalion-Effekt" describes how:
A.A person's expectations about another person can unconsciously influence that person's actual behavior and performance
B.Physical attractiveness has no influence on social perception
C.Memory always improves with repeated exposure to a stimulus
D.Sensory organs deteriorate uniformly with age
Explanation: The Pygmalion-Effekt (self-fulfilling prophecy) shows that an observer's expectations (e.g., a teacher's belief about a student) can shape their behavior toward that person, ultimately influencing the person's actual outcomes.
5"Stereotype" as an observation effect in person perception function as:
A.Generalized, often oversimplified beliefs about a group that shape how individual group members are perceived
B.Completely accurate, individualized assessments of every person
C.A purely physiological, not psychological, phenomenon
D.A term used only in clinical diagnosis, never in everyday perception
Explanation: Stereotypes are generalized, often oversimplified group-level beliefs that get applied to individual members, biasing person perception.
6"Prosopagnosie" is a perceptual disorder characterized by:
A.An impaired ability to recognize familiar faces, despite otherwise intact vision
B.Complete blindness present from birth
C.An inability to process any auditory information
D.A general memory disorder affecting all types of information equally
Explanation: Prosopagnosie (face blindness) is a specific perceptual deficit in facial recognition, occurring despite otherwise normal visual function.
7An "auditive Verarbeitungs- und Wahrnehmungsstörung" (auditory processing disorder) is best described as:
A.Difficulty processing and interpreting auditory information despite normal hearing sensitivity (audiometric results)
B.Complete deafness caused by damage to the outer ear
C.A purely visual perceptual disorder
D.A disorder that only affects the ability to speak, not to perceive sound
Explanation: Auditory processing disorder involves difficulty interpreting sound signals in the brain, even though the ear itself detects sound normally on hearing tests.
8Classical conditioning (klassisches Konditionieren), as studied by Pavlov, describes learning through:
A.Associating a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus until it triggers a similar response
B.Directly rewarding a behavior immediately after it occurs
C.Insight and sudden understanding of a problem's structure
D.Observing and imitating a role model's behavior
Explanation: Classical conditioning pairs a previously neutral stimulus (e.g., a bell) with an unconditioned stimulus (e.g., food) until the neutral stimulus alone triggers the response (e.g., salivation).
9Operant conditioning (operante Konditionierung), associated with B.F. Skinner, explains learning primarily through:
A.Reinforcement and punishment following a behavior, which increases or decreases its future frequency
B.Pairing two neutral stimuli with no behavioral consequence involved
C.Purely genetic predispositions with no environmental input
D.Sudden, unexplainable insight with no prior experience
Explanation: Operant conditioning explains how consequences (reinforcement increases, punishment decreases) that follow a behavior shape the future likelihood of that behavior recurring.
10The social-cognitive theory of learning (sozial-kognitive Theorie), associated with Albert Bandura, emphasizes:
A.Learning through observation and imitation of role models (modeling)
B.Learning exclusively through direct physical reinforcement
C.Learning that occurs only in complete isolation from other people
D.A purely biological, non-psychological explanation of learning
Explanation: Bandura's social-cognitive theory emphasizes that people can learn new behaviors by observing and imitating models, without needing to directly experience reinforcement themselves.
