Jeevan, a twelve-year-old boy, was brought to the psychologist because he hated school. When the teacher was contacted, she informed that Jeevan was unpopular in the class because of his show-off behaviour that even disrupted the class. Apparently, the parents at home used to find such behaviour entertaining and laughed and enjoyed it. The psychologist drew out a programme to bring a change in Jeevan's behaviour. She first helped the parents to understand what is show-off behaviour and what is not. His parents were instructed by the psychologist to avoid paying attention to Jeevan's show-off behaviour; the teacher was instructed to praise other children whenever anyone helped a classmate in any way. The psychologist also added that each time Jeevan manifested show-off behaviour, the loud noise of bore-well digging be played to him by the teacher. In fact, the psychologist used therapeutic interventions.

Q8.

By instructing the parents not to pay attention to Jeevan's show off behaviour at home the psychologist aimed at :

APunishment BStimulus discrimination CExtinction DStimulus generalization

Q9.

What is meant by stroboscopic motion?

AWe perceive an object is in motion whenever its image moves across our retina BLoss in sensitivity to motion CTracking objects only in darkness DTracking only the upward motion of objects

Q10.

What is meant by stroop effect?

AThe tendency to focus on a superficial feature of the problem at hand. BAutomaticity of the reading process CPlanning before acting DRole of silence in language

Q11.

Which of the following are true about perceptual constancy ?

A. It applies to perception of size and colour only

B. Many visual illusions may be explained by the various constancies

C. Constancies occur in all sensory modalities

D. It keeps the appearance of objects the same inspite of large variations in the initial representation of the stimuli received by the sense organs that are engendered by various environmental factors.

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

AA, B, D only BB, C, D only CA, B only DD only

Q12.

What is meant by bottom-up processing?

A. It always distorts our observations

B. Sensory analysis that starts at the entry level

C. When our experience and expectations guide our perception

D. Higher level mental processes are involved
