Exam 7: Early Cognitive Foundations: Sensation, Perception, and Learning

According to the research of Weigelt et al.(2015), children diagnosed with which of the following showed delayed development in facial recognition, as compared to typically developing children of the same age?

Depth cue abilities emerge at different ages.What is the correct developmental sequence for these depth cue categories, from youngest to oldest?

Identify three potentially harmful side effects of using physical punishment to control behaviour.

Like the development of form perception, an infants' perception of depth, distance, and size constancy appears in response to specific stimuli.What is the common property of these stimuli?

Describe three characteristics of the types of visual stimuli that are preferred by young infants.

What does the process of sensation refer to?

Why might elementary school children learn more than preschoolers from the observation of social models?

During what age range is otitis media most likely to strike?

If you were to compare the number of presentations of a stimulus before habituation occurred for a 1-month-old and a 12-month-old, what would you expect to find?

Describe the long-term correlates of rapid habituation during early infancy.

Changes in rate of habituation with age have been attributed to which of the following factors?

In comparison to an adult, how are the neonate's visual capabilities best described?

Newborn infants have been shown to imitate simple behaviours.What is the earliest age at which this has been observed?

Suppose that you just started working in a daycare for infants.You are concerned with providing auditory and visual stimulation that will be detectable and pleasant for the infants.(a) What are the visual capabilities and preferences of the neonate? of the 2-month-old? (b) What are the auditory capabilities and preferences of the neonate? of the 2-month-old?

Define intermodal perception, contrast differentiation theory versus enrichment theory with regard to when and how intersensory perception develops and describe evidence consistent and inconsistent with each theory.

Which statement best summarizes the findings of the cross-cultural research conducted by Lynch and his associates regarding auditory perception of musical melodies in 6-month-old American infants?

Identify the four possible consequences that follow an operant response and provide an example to illustrate each consequence.

For punishment to be effective, what should it be?

Four basic methods of studying infant perception are the preference method, the habituation method, the method of evoked potentials, and the high-amplitude sucking method.Give the procedures for each.

Explain what counterconditioning is, and describe how this process can be used to treat phobias.
