  d. the expectation of error-free performance.

Ques. 2

Means-ends analysis, working forward, and working backward are all heuristics that are
  relevant to solving problems in many areas. These heuristics are known as:
 
  a. algorithmic heuristics.
  b. automatic heuristics.
  c. domain-specific heuristics.
  d. general heuristics.

Ques. 3

  b. stimulus conditioning
  c. stimulus substitution
  d. stimulus discrimination

Ques. 4

In Apollo 13, NASA personnel had to figure out a way to build a new CO2 scrubber from
  an assortment of materials that were on board the spacecraft. Their intention was to provide the
  astronauts with an algorithm to follow. For the technicians in Houston, however, the task was
  not algorithmic but an instance of:
 
  a. critical thinking.
  b. problem solving.
  c. metacognition.
  d. constructivism.

Ques. 5

Problem solving can be defined as:
 
  a. the establishment of highly articulated and interconnected knowledge.
  b. the testing of truth statements through skeptical inquiry.
  c. the pursuit of a goal when the path to that goal is uncertain.
  d. the planning of a life course.

Ques. 6

Which of the following is the best example of metacognition?
 
  a. not knowing that you don't understand
  b. not knowing that you understand
  c. knowing that you don't understand
  d. none of the above

Ques. 7

According to situated cognition theory, which of the following statements is true?
 
  a. Knowledge is significantly bound to the context in which it is learned.
  b. Knowledge is unlimited in transferability.
  c. Knowledge is independent of culture.
  d. Knowledge is meaningless.

Ques. 8

Peirce understood that the meaning of any sign is the sequence of significations that are
  triggered. For example, a fire alarm might cause a person to imagine smoke, fire, and firetrucks.
  The alarm might also signify actions to leave a building, and in some cases might elicit
  excitement or fear. Peirce called this cascade of associations the:
 
  a. interpretant.
  b. signified.
  c. index.
  d. signifier.

Ques. 9

In which of the following situations is negative transfer occurring?
 
  a. A student who has used a typewriter for many years discovers that the letters are in the
  same places on a computer keyboard.
  b. A student who is studying Portuguese finds many similarities in vocabulary and grammar
  with the Spanish she already knows.
  c. A middle school student has tests in science and language arts this week.
  d. After learning to add two fractions by simply adding their numerators, a student begins to
  multiply fractions in a similar fashion, getting an incorrect result.
