Question 2 of 31

Question 4 of 31

Explanation

Question 5 of 31

  • Unknown

Explanation

Question 6 of 31

1

Sweating is only thermoregulatory.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 7 of 31

1

Stabiles are the people who are ____________ the median of SPR production while labiles are the people ___________.

Select one of the following:

  • Above, below.

  • The same as, below

  • Below, above

  • The same as, above

  • Below, the same as

  • Above, the same as

Explanation

Question 8 of 31

1

Select from the dropdown list to complete the text.

A study showed that SCL and SCRs were ( significantly higher, significantly lower, the same ) when signals came at fixed intervals than when they were variable.

Explanation

Question 9 of 31

1

Select from the dropdown list to complete the text.

The RTs to critical signals were found to be ( significantly faster, significantly slower, the same ) for the high-arousal as compared to the low-arousal group.

Explanation

Question 10 of 31

1

It appears that faster RTs are associated with lower SCL.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 11 of 31

1

When studying easy, moderately difficult, and difficult learning materials, SCLs and SCRs were significantly higher during the learning of:

Select one of the following:

  • The easy materials

  • The moderately difficult materials

  • The difficult materials

  • Both moderately difficult and difficult

Explanation

Question 12 of 31

1

Studies of EDA and verbal learning indicate that more successful learning, in general, tends to be associated with amounts of EDA. The higher levels of EDA are associated with alertness and effort when individuals are involved in the acquisition of materials. This same process is implicated in respect to SCL in short-term memory tasks. Moreover, threat-related stimuli have been found to produce larger numbers of SCRs, higher anxiety, and recall of the stimuli for phobic individuals compared to nonphobics.

Explanation

Question 13 of 31

1

Affect refers to:

Select one of the following:

  • Subjective feelings roughly related to like or dislike of objects, people, or events

  • Objective feelings regarding situations and stimuli

  • The emotional state of an individual

Explanation

Question 14 of 31

1

What was Darwin's hypothesis regarding emotional expression?

Select one of the following:

  • Feeling expressing an emotion will intensify the emotional experience, whereas suppressing it will lead to a reduction of experienced intensity

  • That active facial display of emotionality reduces psychological response to emotionally arousing situations

  • The emotional expression is directly related to feeling an emotion

  • The the increase in emotional expression will decrease feelings of helplessness and encourage

Explanation

Question 15 of 31

1

Select from the dropdown list to complete the text.

The more naturally expressive subjects were ( less, more ) physiologically reactive to an emotional stressor than non-expressive persons, shown by SC and HR measures. This suggested that the differential physiological responding may be related to personality and cognitive style of expressive versus inhibited persons.

Explanation

Question 16 of 31

1

Discharge model of emotion suggests:

Select one of the following:

  • That feeling expressing an emotion will intensify the emotional experience, whereas suppressing it will lead to a reduction of experienced intensity

  • That active facial display of emotionality reduces psychological response to emotionally arousing situations

  • That the discharge of emotional situation leads to feelings of relaxation

  • None of the above

Explanation

Question 17 of 31

1

Bottle feeders reported more desire to pick up their infants, and had higher SCL and HR.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 18 of 31

1

Electrodermal recovery rate is:

Select one of the following:

  • Based on the time it takes for SCR or SCL to return to a level midway between the peak of the response and its initial level

  • Based on the time it takes for SCR or SCL to return to its initial level

  • Based on the time it takes for SCR or SCL to reach the peak of a response

  • Based on the time it takes for SCR or SCL to surpass the initial level in recovery

Explanation

Question 19 of 31

1

Subjects with large-amplitude SCRs when they detected a signal made fewer commission errors than those with small detection-related SCRs.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 20 of 31

1

Persons whose SCRs habituate slowly are superior in auditory vigilance performance, because they detect more signals and show less decline in detection over time.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 21 of 31

1

Better detection performance is related to lower levels of EDA, an indicator of PNS activity.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 22 of 31

1

Prosopagnosia subjects (caused by brain damage at occipital and parietal areas on both sides of the brain) generated more frequent and significantly larger SCRs to faces of persons they had known but were now unable to recognise. They did not produce such SCR to slides of unfamiliar faces

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 23 of 31

1

Examples of autonomic discrimination without awareness include:

Select one of the following:

  • Prosopagnosia subjects

Explanation

Question 24 of 31

1

In the Neuronal model, Sokolov suggested that if the incoming existing neuronal models the OR:

Select one of the following:

  • Would occur

  • Would not occur

  • Would be delayed

  • None of the above

Explanation

Question 25 of 31

1

The Neuronal model is primary involved with:

Select one of the following:

  • Stimulus significance

  • Match/mismatch

  • Direction of incoming stimulus

  • All of the other answers

Explanation

Question 26 of 31

1

There has been evidence that the OR magnitude depends on the amount of stimulus change

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 27 of 31

1

In the Information-processing model, the OR is produced when a match is not found in:

Select one of the following:

  • The short-term memory

  • The long-term memory

  • This is not the answer bro

  • Either long or short term memory

Explanation

Question 28 of 31

1

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

In information processing model: The cognitive effort of searching long-term memory results in registration of the novel stimulus in ( long-term, short-term ) memory. The processing facilitates later retrieval, but produces ( inhibition, an increase ) of the OR because there is a match between the stimulus and memory trace is made.

Explanation

Question 29 of 31

1

The EDA response to missing stimuli takes longer than the production of an EDA to actual stimuli.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 30 of 31

1

If conditioned stimulus is greater than or equal to the intensity of an unconditioned stimulus, then conditioning to that conditioned stimulus should not occur.
