Episodic memory (option a) and semantic memory (option b) are types of long-term memory, while working memory (option d) involves holding and manipulating information over short periods.

a) Classical Conditioning

b) Operant Conditioning

c) Social Learning

d) Information Processing

ANSWER: C

This theory emphasizes the role of observation and imitation in learning. Classical conditioning (option a), operant conditioning (option b), and information processing (option d) explain different aspects of behavior and learning.


4) Which of the following situations presents a value conflict?

a) The teacher and his students have class standing as their priorities.

b) The teacher and the administrator follow a set of criteria in giving grades.

This situation presents a conflict between the teacher's professional ethics and parents' expectations. Options a, b, and d do not involve conflicting values as directly as option c.

5) In Erikson's theory, what is the unresolved crisis of an adult who has difficulty establishing a secure, mutual relationship with a life partner?

a) Initiative vs. Guilt

b) Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt

c) Intimacy vs. Isolation

d) Trust vs. Mistrust

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: The correct answer is c] Intimacy vs. Isolation. According to Erikson, the challenge in young adulthood is forming intimate relationships with others. Failure to establish these connections can lead to feelings of isolation. The other options refer to earlier stages of psychosocial development.

6) Which of the theories of learning presents or states that learning skills are hierarchically arranged?

a) Cumulative Learning

b) Meaningful Learning

c) Social Cognitive Learning

d) Theory of Instruction

ANSWER: A
RATIONALE: The correct answer is a] Cumulative Learning. This theory, proposed by Robert Gagné, suggests that learning is hierarchical, where simpler skills form the foundation for more complex skills. The other theories cover different aspects of learning processes.

7) In classical conditioning, which are paired together in order to elicit the desired response?

a) UCS and NS

b) CS and NS

c) UCS and CS

d) UCR and NS

ANSWER: A
RATIONALE: The correct answer is a] UCS and NS. In classical conditioning, an unconditioned stimulus (UCS) is paired with a neutral stimulus (NS) to eventually make the neutral stimulus elicit the same response as the unconditioned stimulus. This turns the NS into a conditioned stimulus (CS).


8) What stage of Piaget's Cognitive Development does a person belong to when he can understand specific logical ideas and apply them to concrete problems?

a) Preoperational thought

b) Operational thought

c) Concrete operational thought

d) Formal operational thought

ANSWER: C

The other stages either describe earlier (preoperational) or more advanced abstract reasoning (formal operational).

c) Pass the student. That will be of use to her, the student, and his parents.

d) Pass the student. Why suffer the threat?

ANSWER: D
RATIONALE: The correct answer is d] Pass the student. Why suffer the threat? If Teacher Liza is a hedonist, she would prioritize her own safety and happiness over other ethical considerations. Therefore, she would pass the student to avoid the death threat, as hedonism emphasizes the pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain. Options a and b indicate a focus on principles of justice and fairness, which are not aligned with hedonism. Option c considers usefulness, which is not the primary concern of hedonism.
