FSU PSYC320 Quiz 6 Latest 2021
Question 1
An automatic sorting based on information from a large number of other people's past
behaviors is called:
distributed representations.
the generalization gradient.
stimulus sampling theory.
collaborative filtering.
Question 2
Even though physical similarity is a frequent cause of generalization, _____ demonstrated
that learning can be generalized if dissimilar stimuli have a history of co-occurring or
predicting the same consequence.
stimulus generalization
acquired equivalence
negative patterning
similarity-based generalization
Question 3
If a business owner continues for years to hire people who have Harvard degrees, never
realizing that he would have done better if he had hired a brilliant summa cum laude from a
local university who he didn't bother to interview, what is the business owner exhibiting?
racism
discrimination
confirmation bias
, stereotypes
Question 4
The process of ignoring information that conflicts with a prior belief and focuses on
information that is consistent with that belief is:
inductive inference.
discrimination.
confirmation bias.
categorization.
Question 5
The discrete-component model and the distributed model differ in that only the:
discrete-component model includes an internal representation layer.
distributed model includes an internal representation layer.
discrete-component model includes input nodes.
distributed model includes input nodes.
Question 6
Suppose a person reinforces a rat for responding to an 800-Hz tone and then observes that its
response to a novel 750-Hz tone is about 50% of its response to the 800-Hz tone. The lower
response to the 750-Hz tone occurs because the rat:
cannot tell the difference between the two tones, so it responds by guessing.
has learned to discriminate between the tones; therefore, it makes different responses to them.
can hear the 750-Hz tone about half as well as the 800-Hz tone.
expects a 50% probability that its response will lead to a reward.
Question 7
If two stimuli differ within a single dimension—for example, tone frequency—the paradigm
is referred to as:
