1Which psychological theory proposes that human intelligence consists of seven independent Primary Mental Abilities (PMA) such as verbal comprehension, numerical ability, and spatial visualization?
A.Spearman's Two-Factor Theory
B.Thurstone's Group Factor Theory
C.Guilford's Structure of Intellect
D.Thorndike's Multi-Factor Theory
Explanation: Louis Leon Thurstone formulated the Group Factor Theory, identifying seven distinct primary mental abilities through factor analysis. These primary factors include verbal comprehension, word fluency, number facility, spatial visualization, associative memory, perceptual speed, and reasoning.
2According to Charles Spearman's Two-Factor Theory of Intelligence, which component is inborn, constant across an individual's lifetime, and common to all cognitive tasks?
A.Specific factor (s)
B.General factor (g)
C.Group factor (w)
D.Fluid factor (Gf)
Explanation: Spearman identified the general factor (g) as an inborn, universal mental energy present in all intellectual operations. The g-factor remains constant within an individual and dictates general problem-solving ability across diverse domains.
3In Ivan Pavlov's classical conditioning experiments with dogs, what role does the sound of the bell play after repeated pairings with food?
A.Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS)
B.Unconditioned Response (UCR)
C.Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
D.Conditioned Response (CR)
Explanation: After systematic pairing with meat powder, the previously neutral bell sound acquires the power to elicit salivation independently, making it a Conditioned Stimulus. The learned salivation in response to the bell alone becomes the Conditioned Response.
4In B.F. Skinner's Operant Conditioning, what term refers to a procedure where a desired behavior is strengthened by removing an unpleasant stimulus?
A.Positive Reinforcement
B.Negative Reinforcement
C.Positive Punishment
D.Extinction
Explanation: Negative reinforcement increases the frequency of a response by removing, terminating, or avoiding an adverse or unpleasant stimulus. For instance, escaping loud noise by pressing a lever reinforces the lever-pressing behavior.
5Which law of learning formulated by Edward Lee Thorndike states that connections between stimulus and response are strengthened when accompanied by a satisfying state of affairs?
A.Law of Readiness
B.Law of Exercise
C.Law of Effect
D.Law of Multiple Response
Explanation: Thorndike's Law of Effect establishes that responses followed by satisfying outcomes are more likely to recur, whereas responses followed by annoying outcomes are weakened. This principle laid the foundation for modern reinforcement theory.
6Which animal was famously used by Wolfgang Köhler in the Tenerife experiments to demonstrate Insightful Learning?
A.Laboratory rat
B.Chimpanzee named Sultan
C.Pigeon in a Skinner box
D.Cat in a puzzle box
Explanation: Wolfgang Köhler conducted landmark Gestalt experiments with a chimpanzee named Sultan on the island of Tenerife. Sultan demonstrated insightful learning by joining two sticks together to reach bananas placed outside his cage.
7Thorndike's Law of Exercise is divided into which two complementary sub-laws?
A.Law of Primary and Secondary
B.Law of Use and Law of Disuse
C.Law of Reward and Law of Punishment
D.Law of Frequency and Law of Intensity
Explanation: The Law of Exercise comprises the Law of Use (practice strengthens the connection between stimulus and response) and the Law of Disuse (inactivity or lack of practice weakens the connection).
8How is Maturation defined in educational psychology?
A.Acquisition of knowledge through formal classroom instruction
B.Natural developmental process of internal growth independent of practice
C.Change in behavior caused exclusively by environmental motivation
D.Process of solving complex mathematical problems through insight
Explanation: Maturation refers to the naturally unfolding sequence of anatomical and physiological growth controlled by genetic inheritance. It occurs automatically over time without requiring specific practice or environmental training.
9According to William McDougall, how does innate interest differ from acquired interest?
A.Innate interest is born out of natural instincts, while acquired interest develops through environmental experiences and habits.
B.Innate interest is acquired through school education, while acquired interest is hereditary.
C.Innate interest depends on artificial rewards, while acquired interest is purely biological.
D.Innate interest disappears in adulthood, while acquired interest remains unchanged from birth.
Explanation: McDougall classified interest into innate (derived from unlearned instincts and biological drives) and acquired (developed over time through social cultural exposure, education, personal habits, and meaningful experiences).
10Which of the following is classified as an objective (external) determinant of attention?
A.Personal interest
B.Intensity of the stimulus
C.Mindset or attitude
D.Past experience
Explanation: Objective determinants are characteristics inherent in external stimuli that attract attention automatically, such as high intensity, bright colors, loud sounds, large size, movement, novel patterns, or sharp contrast.
