BSCI-1023 Midterm Review

All of the following are ways to contrive motivation except

A basic assumption in cognitive perspectives is that people never impose some sort of meaning on new information

Occurs when the effectiveness of a reinforcer on the frequency of a behaviour is changed by thesame motivating operation

Multiple intelligences theory is based on the belief that humans possess a complex set of abilities

A basic assumption in cognitive perspectives is that people are actively, mentally engaged in their own learning

When the effectiveness of a reinforcing stimulus ischanged based on the situation or a result of a motivating operation

Unwanted stimuli is removed and the future probability of behaviour increases

The focus of scientific inquiry must be an objective, systematic observation of behaviours but must allow for inferences

The capacity of long-term memory is unlimited, the more info stored there makes it easy to store new, additional info

Stimuli is added following a behaviour that increases the future probability of the behaviour occurring again

In 2000, Gardner identified two additional intelligences; existential and environmental

The four learning theories are:

A basic assumption in cognitive perspectives is that people do not organize new information

Scaffolding:a collection ofsupportive techniques that help learners complete challenging tasks in instructional contexts

Who created the nine events of instruction?

A key idea in Vygotsky’s theory of cognitive development is that challenging tasks do not promote cognitive growth

The sensory register holds outgoing information long enough for it to undergo very preliminary cognitive processing

A key idea in Vygotsky’s theory of cognitive development is that play allows children to cognitively stretch themselves

The three components of the dual-store model of memory are:

Produces an increase in behaviours that have been previously reinforced by the stimulus

How do we know when someone is motivated?

Children’s behaviours are influenced by inherited traits not their experiences

The contemporary cognitive perspectives are:

Which of the following are scaffolding techniques?

Which of the following are contents of long-term memory:

A basic assumption in cognitive perspectives is that all learning processes are unique to humans

All of the following are executive functioning skills except

An increase in the reinforcing effects of a stimulus after prolonged periods without access

Learning is defined as a long-term change in mental representations or associations as a result of experience

Gagne's five conditions of learning are:

When an item or an event has been trained to have a reinforcing value due to previously learning the association 

Which of the following are prompts?

The zone of proximal development is defined as:

Decreases the current frequency of a behaviour that's been reinforced by the same motivating operation

The definition of learning is divided into 3 parts:

The three-term contingency is comprised of

A reduction in the reinforcing effects of a stimulus after repeated presentations or long periods of continued access

A motivating operation that decreases the value of a reinforcer

A key principle in social cognitive theory is that learning can occur without a change in behaviour

Today’s date is February 27, 2023

All of the following are ways to effectively teach students except

The matching law:behavioural principle that states that _occurs in direct proportion to the_available for each behaviour

Congruence: when an person acts in contradiction to their true feelings instead of an idea of what they should act like

A key idea in Vygotsky’s theory is that thought and language become increasingly interdependent in the first few years

The reinforcement value of the item or situation does not depend on previously learning about it

Non-verbal communication includes:

Vygotsky’s theory of cognitive development examined the kind of tasks children could complete only with _______

All of the following are identified as intelligences except

Motivating operation that increases the value of a reinforcer and the frequency in behavior that accesses reinforcer

For information to move from the sensory register to working memory one must be paying attention

Dynamic Assessment involves:

Children can accomplish easier tasks when they have the assistance of people more advanced and competent than themselves
