When using the computer as an analogy to explain the relationship between cognition and the brain, the brain is described as the computer's ________ and cognition as its ________. ✔✔hardware; software Although used often, the comparison between the computer and human information processing is oversimplified. Why? ✔✔Computer information input is pre-coded and ambiguities are removed before processing. Your roommate argues that computers can perform several complex tasks better and more accurately than humans. You counter her argument with the mention of ________, a task that only humans can perform. ✔✔developing new learning goals Your sorority sister argues that AI machines will become intent on domination of the human race as soon as they realize that they are intellectually superior to humans. As a psychology major, you scoff at this position and argue that AI machines will never come to the realization that they are smarter than humans because they ✔✔do not have the self awareness necessary to come to this conclusion. Approaches that attempt to explain observable behavior by investigating mental processes fall under ________ psychology. ✔✔cognitiveAfter reading the section of the textbook on concepts, Mary Jo comes to the conclusion that ✔✔concepts are a form of cognitive efficiency and economy. Dan is at an international food fest with his fraternity brother, Abayomi. When Dan is served a dish of Mopane worm stew, Abayomi tells him reassuringly, "That's good food!" Given that Dan understands the concept of food, Dan knows that ✔✔it is okay to eat the worm stew. Which of the following would NOT be a defining property of the prototype of an airplane? ✔✔It is silver. In everyday situations, finding and framing problems can be difficult because most real-life problems ✔✔are vague and ill-defined. Levi Hutchins, a young clockmaker, resolved to rise at 4 A.M. every morning. This resolution motivated Hutchins to invent the alarm clock. The most likely first step in solving the problem of waking up early was for Hutchins to ✔✔find and frame the problem Sam manages a fast-food restaurant. He is frustrated because employees often call in sick at the last minute before they are supposed to start their shift. Given that Sam recognizes this problem, what should he do next? ✔✔Sam should define the problem in detail. An effective way to strategize your organization of subgoals is to ✔✔work backward in your planning. You have to study four chapters of information for your next test. If you decide to use the problem solving strategy of using subgoals, you must ✔✔breakdown the topics to be studied and focus on each in an organized sequence. You have to cook dinner for 30 people on Saturday of this coming weekend. Your apartment is a mess, and you have nothing to wear.
