Question 1

Which of the following functions as a computer simulation model of impression formation processes, positing that incoming information is considered at once and that elementary units are connected with facilitative and inhibitory links?
A) Connectionist models
B) Tensor-product model
C) Parallel constraint satisfaction model
D) All of the above

Accepted Answer

Connectionist models, tensor-product models, and parallel constraint satisfaction models all function as computer simulation models of impression formation processes, positing that incoming information is considered at once and that elementary units are connected with facilitative and inhibitory links.

Question 2

Which of the following adds other modalities most notably affect and action) to the traditional associative memory models' primary focus on cognitive modalities?
A) Marques-Hamilton Twofold Retrieval by Associative Pathways TRAP) model
B) Carlston Associative System Theory
C) Srull-Wyer Person Memory Model
D) None of the above

Accepted Answer

The Carlston Associative System Theory incorporates affect and action modalities alongside cognitive modalities, expanding beyond traditional associative memory models.

Question 3

Which of the following situations is likely to lead to the automatic use of exemplars?
A) When cognitive capacity is strained
B) When cognitive capacity is not strained
C) When the concept being considered is simple
D) None of the above

Accepted Answer

Exemplars are more likely to be automatically used when cognitive capacity is strained. When cognitive capacity is limited or overwhelmed, individuals tend to rely on mental shortcuts, such as the use of exemplars, to make decisions and judgments more quickly and efficiently.

Question 4

Gestalt stimulus configurations anticipate social categories and expectations as context-based configurations that influence perception and memory. What current categorical theory did this viewpoint precede?
A) Asch's configural model
B) Heider's theory of social configurations
C) All of the above
D) None of the above

Accepted Answer

The answer of Gestalt stimulus configurations anticipate social categories and...

Question 5

The condition "if a stop sign turns red" and the action "stop the car" is an example of a production, represented as part of which of the following?
A) Procedural memory
B) Episodic Memory
C) Semantic Memory
D) Declarative memory

Accepted Answer

The given condition and action are represented as a production, which is a type of knowledge stored in procedural memory. Procedural memory is responsible for retaining information about procedures or skills, such as how to ride a bike or drive a car.

Question 6

Which of the following is not a top-down sensory motor representation?
A) Conception
B) Imagery
C) Priming
D) None of the above

Accepted Answer

Priming is a bottom-up sensory motor representation.

Question 7

Which of the following does NOT describe category members?
A) Category members fall within fuzzy sets, so it's not always clear which instances belong in the category
B) Category members are related by the criterion of family resemblance, sharing some features but not others
C) Each category contains at least one real-life prototype, a perfect instance that best represents that category
D) None of the above

Accepted Answer

While prototypes are a commonly discussed concept in categorization theory, it is not necessarily true that every category has a single real-life prototype that perfectly represents it. Some categories may have multiple prototypes, or no clear prototype at all.

Question 8

Which of the following is an advantage of the exemplar view as opposed to the prototype view?
A) Exemplars have the ability to account for correlations of attributes within a category
B) Exemplars provide a simple way to model variability across category members
C) The exemplar view most directly accounts for knowledge of specific examples that guide one's understanding of a category
D) All of the above

Accepted Answer

The exemplar view has several advantages over the prototype view, including the ability to account for correlations of attributes within a category, providing a simple way to model variability across category members, and directly accounting for knowledge of specific examples that guide one's understanding of a category.
