A student performs well across verbal, numerical and spatial tasks because of a broad underlying cognitive capacity. Spearman would primarily attribute this to:
Spearman's g-factor is general intelligence.

A student excels particularly in numerical tasks but not across all cognitive domains. Spearman would most directly interpret this strength as an:
Spearman's s-factor is specific ability.
Rapidly producing words that rhyme with a given word most directly measures Thurstone’s:
Verbal fluency involves rapidly producing words.
A learner quickly identifies visual differences between highly similar symbols. Which Thurstonian ability is most directly involved?
Perceptual speed involves quickly recognizing visual details.
A student learns a complex laboratory procedure by watching an expert perform it but does not receive any direct reward. Bandura’s theory predicts learning because:
Observational learning can occur without direct reinforcement.
A child watches a teacher solve a problem but later cannot remember the sequence of actions. Which component of observational learning is most clearly deficient?
Retention involves remembering the observed behavior.
A learner remembers exactly how a skilled athlete performs a movement but lacks the physical ability to reproduce it. Which observational-learning component is limiting performance?
Motor reproduction is the ability to perform the observed action.
A child carefully observes aggressive behavior and remembers it but does not imitate it because there is no perceived incentive. The missing component is primarily:
Motivation involves perceived incentives or consequences.
A chimpanzee suddenly recognizes that several boxes can be stacked to reach an otherwise inaccessible banana. Köhler would interpret this as:
Insight learning involves sudden realization of a solution.
The essential cognitive event in insight learning is best described as:
Insight involves restructuring the problem mentally.
A teacher presents students with an unfamiliar problem and allows them to investigate patterns until they infer the underlying principle. This best represents:
Discovery learning involves inferring principles through exploration.
A learner understands a concept after physically manipulating objects before representing it through diagrams and language. Bruner’s sequence is best represented as:
Bruner's sequence is enactive, iconic, then symbolic.
A student first learns fractions using physical objects, then diagrams, and finally mathematical notation. The final stage represents:
Symbolic representation uses language and symbols.
A student repeatedly talks during class, so the teacher assigns detention and talking decreases. This is:
Adding an unpleasant consequence to decrease behavior is positive punishment.
A parent removes a child’s gaming privileges following repeated misbehavior, and the misbehavior decreases. This is:
Removing a pleasant consequence to decrease behavior is negative punishment.
Which feature most clearly distinguishes reinforcement from punishment?
Reinforcement strengthens behavior; punishment weakens behavior.
A dog begins salivating when it hears a sound previously associated with food. The sound has become a:
A previously neutral stimulus that elicits a response after pairing is the conditioned stimulus.
In Pavlovian conditioning, food naturally producing salivation is best classified as the:
An unconditioned stimulus naturally elicits an unconditioned response.
Little Albert’s fear of the white rat after repeated pairings with a loud noise demonstrates:
Classical conditioning involves pairing a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus.
A teacher gives a student a certificate after consistent homework completion, increasing homework behavior. This is:
Adding a pleasant consequence to increase behavior is positive reinforcement.
A teacher removes an unpleasant classroom duty when a student completes assigned work, increasing the student’s work completion. This is:
Removing an unpleasant consequence to increase behavior is negative reinforcement.
A parent’s workplace policy changes the amount of time the parent can spend with the child. The workplace is part of the child’s:
The exosystem includes settings that indirectly affect the child.
A child’s development is shaped by prevailing cultural values, socioeconomic conditions and societal expectations. This most directly represents the:
The macrosystem includes cultural and societal values.
A child experiences developmental changes following a major historical event or parental divorce. Bronfenbrenner would emphasize the:
The chronosystem involves time and life transitions.
A cat repeatedly performs random actions in a puzzle box until one action produces escape, after which that response becomes more frequent. This best illustrates Thorndike’s:
The law of effect states that satisfying consequences strengthen responses.
