Exam 6: Basic Learning and Perception

If ________ does not occur when fixations shift between near and far objects,one sees double objects.

Mervyn pulled out a red block from his pocket and showed it to his four-month-old daughter,Jennifer,a number of times.Jennifer looked at it less and less each time.Then Mervyn pulled out a blue block.If Jennifer showed recovery from habituation,we would expect that she

Statistical learning emphasizes that associations are formed because some events occur in a statistically predictable order.

Suze avoids reaching across a gap,but she readily attempts to crawl across it,indicating that she needs to relearn

Perceptual experience plays an especially critical role in the developing ability to discriminate and distinguish

Infants need to learn to coordinate their perception of depth with safe actions for negotiating their surroundings as

The taste preferences seen in the newborn

What is perceptual learning? Who developed this theory?

Macy is trying to locate her favorite toy within a full tub of objects.Having viewed or manipulated an object at a separate time is critical to her ability to later recognize that object in a cluttered environment.

What are habituation and dishabituation,and what is their relationship to learning development?

Perceptual development is a _________ process,one of imposing sense and order on the multisensory external world.

Three-year-old Matty was shown a video of an adult uttering ba ba synchronized with the audio of an adult uttering ga ga.When asked what he heard,Matty reported hearing a very different utterance.This result suggests that

Rapid habituation and rapid recovery from habituation to novel stimuli are associated with

Recent research suggests that young infants may imitate the facial expressions of adults

________ are typically thought to be the building blocks;________ is thought to be the order and meaning imposed upon those basic elements.

If a newborn looks at a face,where do its eyes track? Why?

________ is the coordination of sensory information to perceive these experiences as integrated and coordinated,and to draw perceptual inferences.

Physiological measures taken from the brainstem suggest that responsiveness to vision is nearly adult-like for some frequencies in newborns.

One source of information that is very important for the development of depth perception is

The loss of rewards is known as negative reinforcement.
