Diffusion of responsibility
In Albert Bandura's Bobo doll experiment, what type of learning was being studied?
Observational Learning
Classical Conditioning
Latent Learning
Operant Conditioning
How could an experimenter best determine whether language acquisition is more influenced by social interaction or cognitive development in early childhood?
Conduct a longitudinal study comparing children raised in highly interactive environments to those with limited social exposure, controlling for cognitive abilities.
Observe the differences in vocabulary size between children who watch educational programs and those who do not, without considering their social interactions.
Test children's language skills at different ages and compare results to national averages without accounting for individual learning environments.
Survey parents about their child's language development milestones and correlate this with the frequency of parent-child conversations.
If a researcher is primarily focused on understanding how negative reinforcement can be used to train animals, they are adopting principles from which school of psychology?
Structuralism
Behaviorism
Gestalt
Psychoanalysis
How might a researcher most effectively use both observational learning and the cognitive map theory to design an experiment on spatial awareness in toddlers?
Arrange toddlers to observe older children navigating a maze, then assess their own performance.
Measure toddlers' brainwave patterns during sleep after exposure to different types of mazes.
Expose toddlers to a variety of mazes and monitor their heart rate responses.
Analyze the drawings made by toddlers after they navigate through physical mazes.
What critique could be tendered against Ebbinghaus' Forgetting Curve illustrating memory loss over time?
The curve is inaccurate as humans can remember certain information for a lifetime without any repetition.
Forgetting Curve doesn't take into account individual differences in memory retention.
Memory deterioration does not occur over time, rather depends on the importance of information.
The curve neglects that relearning can change the rate at which information is forgotten, altering the shape of the curve itself.

What concept is characterized by a decrease in response after repeated exposure to a stimulus?
Observational learning
Habituation
Positive reinforcement
Sensitization
Which scenario best illustrates the use of a longitudinal study in cognitive learning research?
Observing a class during one semester to see how test scores fluctuate with different teaching methods.
Comparing two age groups at one point in time to determine differences in memory retention.
Testing a single individual's recall ability at different times within one day under varied conditions.
Following a group of learners over several years to assess changes in their problem-solving skills.
When psychologists are conducting a study on the effects of sleep deprivation, which ethical consideration is most important to ensure participant well-being?
Participants must receive financial compensation for their time.
Informed consent must be obtained from all participants.
Publicly sharing all data collected from participants is required.
Deception must be used to prevent participants from altering behavior.
