    Learning results in a relatively permanent change as it can not be explained by temporary states, maturation, or innate response tendencies. What has been learned can be permanent, but it can also be temporary. (what can be learned can be unlearned)

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Learning results in a relatively permanent change because it is not influenced by temporary states, maturation, or innate response tendencies. This means that what is learned can be retained over time and is not easily forgotten. However, it is important to note that what has been learned can also be unlearned, indicating that learning is not always permanent and can be reversed or forgotten with time or lack of practice.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    This refers to a natural process happening at a particular developmental period.

    • Innate Response

    • Temporary State

    • Maturation

    Correct Answer
    A. Maturation
    Explanation
    Maturation refers to the natural process of development that occurs at a specific period. It involves the growth and progression of an organism, leading to physical and behavioral changes. Unlike innate response, which is an automatic and instinctive reaction, maturation is a gradual and ongoing process. It is also different from a temporary state, as maturation involves long-term and permanent changes. Therefore, maturation is the most appropriate explanation for a natural process happening at a particular developmental period.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    This refers to the tendencies that are involuntary, i.e. instincts, reflexes.

    • Innate Responses

    • Temporary States

    • Maturation

    Correct Answer
    A. Innate Responses
    Explanation
    The given answer, "Innate Responses," is the correct option because it accurately describes the tendencies that are involuntary, such as instincts and reflexes. Innate responses are natural and instinctive behaviors that are present from birth and do not require any learning or conscious effort. These responses are often automatic and occur in response to specific stimuli, helping organisms to adapt and survive in their environment. Therefore, "Innate Responses" is the most suitable explanation for the given statement.

    Learning is a long-term change in mental representations as a result of experience. (ex. trauma from a car accident will lead to that person avoiding driving or cars)

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because learning involves a long-term change in mental representations that occurs as a result of experience. In the example given, the trauma from a car accident leads to a person avoiding driving or cars, which demonstrates a change in their mental representation and behavior due to the experience.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The change that occurs during learning is the potential for behavior that does not need to depend on other conditions.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is false. The change that occurs during learning is the acquisition of new knowledge or skills that can be applied in various situations, rather than behavior that does not depend on other conditions. Learning involves the ability to adapt and modify behavior based on different circumstances and stimuli. Therefore, the potential for behavior during learning is actually the ability to depend on and respond to different conditions.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    This is the permanent change in behavior and is also called "characteristic".

    • Trait

    • State

    Correct Answer
    A. Trait
    Explanation
    The given statement describes a permanent change in behavior, which is a characteristic of an individual. This aligns with the definition of a trait, which refers to enduring qualities or attributes that define a person's behavior or personality. Therefore, the correct answer is "Trait."

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    This is a behavior that depends on other conditions or circumstances.

    • Trait

    • State

    Correct Answer
    A. State
    Explanation
    In this context, "state" refers to a condition or situation that is subject to change based on other factors or circumstances. Traits, on the other hand, are inherent characteristics or qualities that are more stable and less influenced by external conditions. Therefore, the correct answer is "state" because the behavior described in the question is one that can vary depending on different conditions or circumstances.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Learning is not always a permanent change. What can be learned can be unlearned and this is useful for maladaptive behavior.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Learning is not always a permanent change because what can be learned can also be unlearned. This means that if someone acquires knowledge or skills that are not beneficial or adaptive, they have the ability to undo or reverse that learning. This is particularly useful for maladaptive behaviors, which are harmful or counterproductive actions or habits. By being able to unlearn these behaviors, individuals can replace them with more positive and adaptive ones, leading to personal growth and improvement. Therefore, the statement that learning is not always a permanent change and can be useful for maladaptive behavior is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Learning is the acquisition of knowledge that is always gained through study.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement claims that learning is always gained through study, which is not true. While study is one way to acquire knowledge, learning can also occur through various other means such as observation, experience, and experimentation. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge or skill through study, teaching, or experience.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement accurately defines learning as the process of acquiring knowledge or skill through study, teaching, or experience. This aligns with the commonly accepted understanding of learning as a cognitive process that involves gaining new information or abilities through various means such as formal education, self-study, or practical application. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Learning is a process by which behavior is changed or controlled.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Learning refers to the acquisition of knowledge, skills, attitudes, or behaviors through experience, study, or teaching. It involves a change in behavior or the ability to perform certain tasks or actions. Therefore, the statement "Learning is a process by which behavior is changed or controlled" is true as it accurately reflects the nature of learning.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Learning evolved as an adaptation for promoting survival.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Learning evolved as an adaptation for promoting survival. This means that over time, organisms developed the ability to learn in order to increase their chances of surviving in their environment. By learning from past experiences and acquiring new skills and knowledge, organisms were able to adapt and make better decisions, ultimately enhancing their chances of survival. This adaptation allowed them to respond to changes in their environment, find food, avoid predators, and reproduce successfully. Therefore, it can be concluded that the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    This is the primitive way of learning. It is the decreased response to a stimulus after frequently repeated exposure.

    • Sensory adaptation

    • Habituation

    • Exploration

    Correct Answer
    A. Habituation
    Explanation
    Habituation refers to the decreased response to a stimulus after repeated exposure. This is considered a primitive way of learning because it involves a simple form of adaptation to the environment. Through habituation, an individual becomes less responsive to a stimulus over time, as they become familiar with it. This allows the individual to conserve energy and focus on more important or novel stimuli. Sensory adaptation, on the other hand, refers to the physiological changes that occur in sensory receptors due to prolonged exposure to a stimulus. Exploration, while related to learning, does not specifically refer to the decreased response to a stimulus.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    This refers to the receptors changing or reducing their sensitivity to constant or unchanging stimulus. It is usually temporary.

    • Sensory Adaptation

    • Habituation

    • Exploration

    Correct Answer
    A. Sensory Adaptation
    Explanation
    Sensory adaptation refers to the receptors changing or reducing their sensitivity to a constant or unchanging stimulus. This process is usually temporary and allows our senses to become less responsive to stimuli that are continuously present. It helps us focus on new or changing stimuli rather than being overwhelmed by constant sensory input.

    John Locke believed in the theory of Tabula Rasa, which states that individuals are born with a blank slate and all knowledge and ideas are acquired through experience. He disagreed with Plato's theory of innate knowledge and believed that knowledge is not pre-existing, but rather formed through sensory experiences and reflection. According to Locke, individuals passively receive experiences and ideas, which are then built upon and remembered through internal processes. Therefore, the statement that John Locke believed Plato is wrong and Aristotle is right, and that he believed in the Tabula Rasa theory of learning, is true.

    Refers to a treatment or process that diminishes emotional responsiveness to a negative, aversive or positive stimulus after repeated exposure to it.

    • Sensory Adaptation

    • Habituation

    • Desensitization

    Correct Answer
    A. Desensitization
    Explanation
    "adaptation refers to a decreased response of sensory receptors to a given stimulus intensity, and this is mostly a peripheral process. Habituation implies a higher more central change in the stimulus-response circuitry that is more like what we think of as "learning." Desensitization is a term that is used in psychology to describe a decreased response to noxious or otherwise unpleasant stimuli, without necessarily a decreased sensitivity of the sensory receptors themselves"
