1. The word psychology is derived from two …………….. Words.
a. Latin b. Greek
c. Persian d. None of these.
The word “psychology” comes from two specific Greek words—psyche, which means “soul,” “life,” or
“mind,” and logia, which means “the study of.” Simply put, psychology is the study of the mind. They
explore how psychological factors interact with biological and sociocultural factors to influence individual
development.
2. Psyche means
a. Soul b. Mind
c. Behavior d. All of above.
3. By earlier psychologists, the psychology was first time defined as the
a. Science of mind b. Science of behavior
c. Science of soul d. All of above
4. Psychology defined as the science of mental processes in 1892 by.
a. William James b. James sully
c. William MC dugal d. None of above
James defined psychology as the conscience of the mental life because he thought that consciousness is
what makes the mental life possible. He sought to discover the utility of human consciousness and how it is
fundamental to survival. He was the first to coin the phrase "stream of consciousness,” which means a
person's thoughts and conscious reactions to events, perceived as a continuous flow.
In Guilford’s Structure of Intellect (SI) theory, intelligence is viewed as comprising operations, contents,
and products. There are 6 kinds of operations (cognition, memory recording, memory retention, divergent
production, convergent production, evaluation), 6 kinds of products (units, classes, relations, systems,
transformations, and implications), and 5 kinds of contents (visual, auditory, symbolic, semantic,
behavioral). Since each of these dimensions is independent, there are theoretically 180 different
components of intelligence.
The seven primary mental abilities in Thurstone's model were verbal comprehension, word
fluency, number facility, spatial visualization, associative memory, perceptual speed, and
reasoning.
42. What is the aim of education?

In psychology, though, growth and maturation are a little different. Growth is the physical process of
development, particularly the process of becoming physically larger. It is quantifiable, meaning that it can
be measured, and it is mostly influenced by genetics.
44. What is meant by development?
A. It is the growth of heart, brain and muscles. B. It is improvement of the ability.
C. it is a complex process of integrating many structures and functions.
Psychological development, the development of human beings' cognitive, emotional, intellectual, and
social capabilities and functioning over the course of a normal life span, from infancy through old age
45. Which age is called the adolescent age of a child?
A. From 3 to 12 yrs. B. From 13 to 19 yrs.
C. From 20 to 25 yrs. D. From 26 to 35 yrs.
Adolescence is the period of transition between childhood and adulthood
46. "In youth we learn in age we understand". What does this statement indicate?
A. Relationship of learning with age. B. Learning stops with adulthood.
C. In youth our understanding is better. D. There is no learning in childhood.
47. What does intellectual development include?
A. The development of mind. B. Development of thinking, reasoning and interest perception.
C. Development of skills. D. Development of emotions.
Cognitive or intellectual development means the growth of a child's ability to think and reason. It's about
how they organize their minds, ideas and thoughts to make sense of the world they live in. Begin to reason
and argue, uses words like why and because. Understand concepts like yesterday, today and tomorrow.
48. How many words does a child learn to speak at the age of 2, according to Prof. Smith?
A. 150 words B. 372 words
C. 172 words D. 272 words
49. On which animal Pavlov conducted his experiment
A. Rat B. Cat
C. Dog D. Bird
In the famous experiments that Ivan Pavlov conducted with his dogs, Pavlov found that objects or events
could trigger a conditioned response. The experiments began with Pavlov demonstrating how the presence
of a bowl of dog food (stimulus) would trigger an unconditioned response (salivation).
50. Mirror drawing apparatus is related to
A. Conditioning B. Trial and error
C. Span of memory D. Forgetting
Mirror Drawing test is used to measure - Rate of learning. The mirror-drawing test is a psychological test
that may be evaluated according to the speed and accuracy in tracing, as well as can be judged in terms of
qualitative reactions.

A. One way love B. Parent's balanced behavior
C. According to environment D. Good food
52. The most difficult age for the development of a child is -
A. Early childhood B. Teen age
C. Young age D. Adult age
The teenage years can be an emotional assault or attack course for all concerned. One of the reasons many
of us find it so hard is because it is a time of rapid physical development and deep emotional changes.
These are exciting, but can also be confusing and uncomfortable for child and parent alike.

A. Companions B. Dependent
C. None of the above D. All of these
54. Which of the following is not an accepted stage in Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development?
A. Interpersonal relations B. Individualism
C. Social rights D. Universal principles
Kohlberg's theory proposes that there are three levels of moral development, with each level split into two
stages. Kohlberg suggested that people move through these stages in a fixed order, and that moral
understanding is linked to cognitive development. The three levels of moral reasoning include pre
conventional, conventional, and post conventional.
Level 1 – Pre conventional morality
Pre conventional morality is the first stage of moral development, and lasts until approximately age 9.
• Stage 1. Obedience and Punishment Orientation. The child/individual is good in order to avoid being
punished. If a person is punished, they must have done wrong.
• Stage 2. Individualism and Exchange. At this stage, children recognize that there is not just one right view
that is handed down by the authorities. Different individuals have different viewpoints.
Level 2 - Conventional morality
• Stage 3. Good Interpersonal Relationships. The child/individual is good in order to be seen as being a
good person by others. Therefore, answers relate to the approval of others.
• Stage 4. Maintaining the Social Order. The child/individual becomes aware of the wider rules of society,
so judgments concern obeying the rules in order to uphold the law and to avoid guilt.
Level 3 – Post conventional morality
• Stage 5. Social Contract and Individual Rights. The child/individual becomes aware that while rules/laws
might exist for the good of the greatest number, there are times when they will work against the interest of
particular individuals.
• Stage 6. Universal Principles. People at this stage have developed their own set of moral guidelines which
may or may not fit the law. The principles apply to everyone.
E.g., human rights, justice, and equality. The person will be prepared to act to defend these principles even
if it means going against the rest of society in the process and having to pay the consequences of
disapproval and or imprisonment. Kohlberg doubted few people reached this stage.
55. An ideal teacher should concentrate
A. On teaching methods B. On the subject being taught
C. On students and their behaviours D. On all of these
56. The motive of the concept of curricular flexibility is to benefit
A. Disabled students B. Minority students
C. Reserved castes D. All of these
Curriculum flexibility is conceptualized in terms of adaptability and accessibility of the curriculum to
students' needs and capabilities.
57. What do you understand by the term Peer Group ?
A. People of same profession B. Friends and acquaintances
C. Family members and relatives D. All of these
58. A problem child has
A. Pampering guardians B. Hereditary problems
C. IQ problems D. Physical problems
59. Research technique in which researchers obtain information about infant's spontaneous behavior is:
A. Standardized developmental testing B. Experimental designs
C. Naturalistic observation D. Newborn neurobehavioral exams
Naturalistic observation is a research method that is used by psychologists and other social scientists. The
technique involves observing subjects in their natural environment.
Spontaneous behavior is performed "without any constraint, effort, or premeditation." It's thereby
understandable as "unplanned" or "impromptu"
60. Experimental designs are characterized by:
A. Normative data B. Controlled conditions
C. Automated Stimulation D. All of the above
Normative data is data from a reference population that establishes a baseline distribution for a score or
measurement, and against which the score or measurement can be compared. Normative data is typically
obtained from a large, randomly selected representative sample from the wider population.
Control condition in an experiment or research design, a condition that does not involve exposure to the
treatment or intervention under study.
61. Research findings that explain behavior under many conditions are:
A. Generalizable B. Valid
C. Reliable D. All of the above
Generalizable: able to be made more widely or generally applicable.
62. The Bayley Scales of Infant Development:
A. Are the most widely used method of assessing infant developmental level
B. Indicates an infant's abilities relative to others of the same age
C. Measures mental and motor capacities
D. All of the above
Nancy Bayley was an American psychologist best known for her work on the Berkeley Growth Study and the
subsequent Bayley Scales of Infant Development. Originally interested in teaching, she eventually gained
interest in psychology, for which she went on to obtain her Ph.D. in from the University of Iowa in 1926
The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development is an assessment instrument designed to measure
motor, cognitive, language, social-emotional, and adaptive behavior development in babies and young
children. It involves interaction between the child and examiner and observations in a series of tasks.
What Are the Elements of the Bayley Scales?
The entire test takes about an hour to administer. After completing a set of developmental tasks, the examiner is able
to produce a developmental quotient which is different from an intelligence quotient or IQ).
The Bayley Scales contain three subtests:
The Cognitive Scales, which measures a child's ability to, for example, engage in pretend play, attend to objects, or
look for an object that has fallen;
The Language Scale, which measures a child's ability to understand and use spoken language to label objects or
people, follow instructions, or recognize objects based on spoken description or labels;
The Motor Scale, which tests both gross and fine motor abilities.
Two additional tests may or may not be administered. They include:
The Social-Emotional Scale, which measures a child's ability to engage with others socially, self-calm and
takes part in age-appropriate play.
The Adaptive Behavior Scale, which measures a child's level of development relative to everyday life skills
such as following rules, cooperating, and generally adapting to new or demanding situations.
63. An infant's tendency to attend to the more complex of two stimuli is the basis of the method called:
A. Preference paradigm B. Habituation
C. Conditioned head turning D. Contingency learning
Preference Paradigm: It is a research technique for studying visual discrimination in infants in which the
amount of time spent looking at different visual stimuli is measured to determine which stimulus the
infants prefer.
Habituation is a form of non-associative learning in which an innate response to a stimulus decreases after repeated
or prolonged presentations of that stimulus.
For example, a new sound in your environment, such as a new ringtone, may initially draw your attention or even
become distracting. ... This diminished response is habituation.
Conditioned head turn: A method of testing whether infants can discriminate two sounds or two categories of sound.
Infants are trained to turn their head to the location of the speaker on their left when there is a change in a repeating
train of sounds. The head turn behavior is conditioned by rewarding infants with a couple of seconds of an animated
toy for turning when the sound changes. No reward is given for turns when there is no change.
Human contingency learning is the observation that people tend to acquire knowledge based on whichever
outcome has the highest probability of occurring from particular stimuli. In other words, individuals gather
associations between a certain behavior and a specific consequence.
64. The rate of habituation is an indication of:
A. Memory B. Fundamental cognitive processes
C. Brain integrity D. All of the above
65.The difference between classical conditioning and operant conditioning is:
A. Classical conditioning is based on consequences of an event while operant conditioning is based on
repeated pairings of two events
B. Classical conditioning is based on repeated pairings of two events while operant conditioning is based on
the consequences of an event
C. Whether or not the infant likes the reward
D. Classical conditioning uses motor behavior but operant conditioning uses any behavior
Classical Conditioning: a learning process that occurs when two stimuli are repeatedly paired: a response
which is at first elicited by the second stimulus is eventually elicited by the first stimulus alone.
Operant conditioning is a type of associative learning process through which the strength of a behavior is
modified by reinforcement or punishment. It is also a procedure that is used to bring about such learning.
Pavlovian theory is a learning procedure that involves pairing a stimulus with a conditioned response. In the
famous experiments that Ivan Pavlov conducted with his dogs, Pavlov found that objects or events could
trigger a conditioned response. ... As he gave food to the dogs, he rang the bell.
Classical Conditioning Theory
Based on his observations, Pavlov suggested that the salivation was a learned response. The dogs were responding to
the sight of the research assistants' white lab coats, which the animals had come to associate with the presentation
of food. Unlike the salivary response to the presentation of food, which is an unconditioned reflex, salivating to the
expectation of food is a conditioned reflex.
Pavlov then focused on investigating exactly how these conditioned responses are learned or acquired. In a series of
experiments, Pavlov set out to provoke a conditioned response to a previously neutral stimulus. He opted to use food
as the unconditioned stimulus, or the stimulus that evokes a response naturally and automatically.
The sound of a metronome was chosen to be the neutral stimulus. The dogs would first be exposed to the sound of
the ticking metronome, and then the food was immediately presented.
After several conditioning trials, Pavlov noted that the dogs began to salivate after hearing the metronome. "A
stimulus which was neutral in and of itself had been superimposed upon the action of the inborn alimentary reflex,"
Pavlov wrote of the results.
"We observed that, after several repetitions of the combined stimulation, the sounds of the metronome had
acquired the property of stimulating salivary secretion." In other words, the previously neutral stimulus (the
metronome) had become what is known as a conditioned stimulus that then provoked a conditioned
response (salivation).
Operant Conditioning Learning
B.F. Skinner proposed his theory on operant conditioning by conducting various experiments on animals. He used a
special box known as “Skinner Box” for his experiment on rats. As the first step to his experiment, he placed a hungry
rat inside the Skinner box. The rat was initially inactive inside the box, but gradually as it began to adapt to the
environment of the box, it began to explore around. Eventually, the rat discovered a lever, upon pressing which; food
was released inside the box. After it filled its hunger, it started exploring the box again, and after a while it pressed
the lever for the second time as it grew hungry again. This phenomenon continued for the third, fourth and the fifth
time, and after a while, the hungry rat immediately pressed the lever once it was placed in the box. Then the
conditioning was deemed to be complete.
Here, the action of pressing the lever is an operant response/behavior, and the food released inside the chamber is
the reward. The experiment is also known as Instrumental Conditioning Learning as the response is instrumental in
getting food.
B.F. Skinner’s Second Experiment
B.F. Skinner also conducted an experiment that explained negative reinforcement. Skinner placed a rat in a chamber
in the similar manner, but instead of keeping it hungry, he subjected the chamber to an unpleasant electric current.
The rat having experienced the discomfort started to desperately move around the box and accidentally knocked the
lever. Pressing of the lever immediately seized the flow of unpleasant current. After a few times, the rat had
smartened enough to go directly to the lever in order to prevent itself from the discomfort.
The electric current reacted as the negative reinforcement, and the consequence of escaping the electric current
made sure that the rat repeated the action again and again. Here too, the pressing of the lever is an operant
response, and the complete stop of the electric current flow is its reward.
Conclusion
Both the experiment clearly explains the working of operant conditioning. The important part in any operant
conditioning learning is to recognize the operant behavior and the consequence resulted in that particular
environment.
The Theories of Learning (Behaviorism and Cognitivism)
Learning theory is a set of general statement that is used to explain about reality of learning. Every student has
different characteristic. It is important for teacher to know what kind of learning process they should use in the class.
There are so many learning theories that can be used by teacher to teach in learning process. Teacher should ponder
the learning theory critically before because using wrong learning theory will cause obstruction in learning process.
Edward Thorndike put forward a “Law of effect” which stated that any behavior that is followed by
pleasant consequences is likely to be repeated, and any behavior followed by unpleasant consequences is
likely to be stopped.
Edward Thorndike (1898) is famous in psychology for his work on learning theory that lead to the
development of operant conditioning within Behaviorism. Whereas classical conditioning depends on
developing associations between events, operant conditioning involves learning from the consequences of
our behavior.
Skinner wasn’t the first psychologist to study learning by consequences. Indeed, Skinner's theory of
operant conditioning is built on the ideas of Edward Thorndike.
Thorndike studied learning in animals (usually cats). He devised a classic experiment in which he used a
puzzle box to empirically test the laws of learning.
He placed a cat in the puzzle box, which was encourage to escape to reach a scrap of fish placed
outside. Thorndike would put a cat into the box and time how long it took to escape. The cats
experimented with different ways to escape the puzzle box and reach the fish.
Eventually they would stumble upon the lever which opened the cage. When it had escaped it was put in
again, and once more the time it took to escape was noted. In successive trials the cats would learn that
pressing the lever would have favorable consequences and they would adopt this behavior, becoming
increasingly quick at pressing the lever.
Edward Thorndike put forward a “Law of effect” which stated that any behavior that is followed by
pleasant consequences is likely to be repeated, and any behavior followed by unpleasant consequences is
likely to be stopped.
There are some people who follow this learning theory. They are
John Dewey
Learning depends on the experience and interests of the students themselves, the topic in the curriculum
should be integrated rather than separate or have no connection to one another. Learning must be active,
directly involved, focused on the students in the context of social experience. Learning requires student
involvement and teamwork in doing their jobs. Teachers as facilitators took part as a member of the group
and held discussions and review of friends. Dewey also suggested the use of media technology as a learning
tool.
Jean Piaget
According to Piaget, the observation is very important and become the basis for guiding the thinking
process of student. Observation involves all the senses, storing impressions longer and causes a sensation
that made an impression for students. Therefore, students should experience the study for themselves and
involved directly with the object that is studied. Learning must be active and social. Implication of Piaget
opinion in practice of learning is teachers should adjust the learning process with the cognitive stages of
student.

Cognitive development refers to how a person perceives, thinks, and gains understanding of his or her
world through the interaction of genetic and learned factors. Among the areas of cognitive
development are information processing, intelligence , reasoning, language development , and memory.
Object permanence is the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be seen,
heard, or otherwise sensed. This is a fundamental concept studied in the field of developmental
psychology, the subfield of psychology that addresses the development of young children's social and
mental capacities.
Symbolic thought refers to the use of symbols (e.g., words and images) and mental representations of
objects or events to represent the world, at this stage children start to think about the things symbolically.

known.
110. Concept of meaningful learning through structure of content and discovery was presented by:
David Ausubul J.S Bruner
Pavlov Skinner
Bruner (1961) proposes that learners construct their own knowledge and do this by organizing and
categorizing information using a coding system. Bruner believed that the most effective way to develop a
coding system is to discover it rather than being told by the teacher.
111. The founder of humanistic approach was:
David Ausubul J.S Bruner
Pavlov Maslow
Abraham Maslow’s Humanism
As a leader of humanistic psychology, Abraham Maslow approached the study of personality psychology by
focusing on subjective experiences and free will. He was mainly concerned with an individual’s innate drive
toward self-actualization—a state of fulfillment in which a person is achieving at his or her highest level of
capability.
Maslow believed that successful fulfillment of each layer of needs was vital in the development of
personality. The highest need for self-actualization represents the achievement of our fullest potential, and
those individuals who finally achieved self-actualization were said to represent optimal psychological health
and functioning. Maslow stretched the field of psychological study to include fully-functional individuals
instead of only those with psychoses, and he shed a more positive light on personality psychology.
The needs are: physiological (food and clothing), safety (job security), love and belonging needs
(friendship), esteem, and self-actualization.
Self Actualization means the realization or fulfillment of one's talents and potentialities, especially
considered as a drive or need present in everyone.
112. According to humanistic approach, the nature of man is:
Good Creative
Capable of healthy growth All of above
According to Maslow, we have five categories of needs: physiological, safety, love, esteem, and
self-actualization.
In this theory, higher needs in the hierarchy begin to emerge when people feel they have
sufficiently satisfied the previous need.
The humanistic approach emphasizes the personal worth of the individual, the centrality of human values,
and the creative active nature of human beings. The approach is optimistic and focuses on the
noble human capacity to overcome hardship, pain and despair.
Self-actualization, in Maslow's hierarchy of needs, is the highest level of psychological development, where
personal potential is fully realized after basic bodily and ego needs have been fulfilled

The first modern intelligence test in IQ history was developed in 1904, by Alfred Binet (1857-1911) and
Theodore Simon (1873-1961). The French Ministry of Education asked these researchers to develop
a test that would allow for distinguishing mentally retarded children from normally intelligent, but lazy
children.

from personal or psychological problems.
129. Psychoanalysis a school of thought in psychology was introduced by:
Jung Freud
Wundt Watson
Psychoanalysis is a set of theories and techniques used to study the unconscious mind, which together form
a method of treatment for mental disorders. The discipline was established in the early 1890s by Austrian
neurologist Sigmund Freud, who retained the term psychoanalysis for his own school of thought
130. The IQ of a gifted child is:
110 to 120 120 to 130
130 to 139 140 and above
131. Cognitive learning theory is known as;
Connectionism theory Social learning theory
Information processing theory Association theory
Cognitive learning theory explains how internal and external factors influence an individual's mental
processes to supplement learning. Delays and difficulties in learning are seen when cognitive processes are
not working regularly
132. Laws of learning were founded by:
Throndike Skinner
Watson Pavlov
Edward Thorndike developed the first three "Laws of learning:" Readiness, Exercise and effect.
Law of effect which means that any behavior that is followed by pleasant consequences is likely to be
repeated, and any behavior followed by unpleasant consequences is likely to be avoided.
Law of readiness: A law which states that learning is dependent upon the learner's readiness to act, which
facilitates the strengthening of the bond between stimulus and response
The law of exercise stated that behavior is more strongly established through frequent connections of
stimulus and response.
133. The founder of intelligence tests was:
Throndike Skinner
Binet Pavlov
The first modern intelligence test in IQ history was developed in 1905, by Alfred Binet (1857-1911) and
Theodore Simon (1873-1961). The French Ministry of Education asked these researchers to develop
a test that would allow for distinguishing mentally retarded children from normally intelligent, but lazy
children.
134. The name of the psychologist who said that most of fears of human beings are conditionally learned:
Throndike Watson
Binet Pavlov
Watson believed that phobias and behaviors are learned through the process of conditioning. He wanted to
prove that all behavior was a result of a stimulus –response relationship. As a result, he developed
behaviorism, which says if you put people in the right environment you could train them to be or do
anything you want.
135. Laws of learning associated with reinforcement in operant conditioning is:

Gestalt psychology is a school of psychology based upon the idea that we experience things as unified
wholes. This approach to psychology began in Germany and Austria during the late 19th century in
response to the molecular approach of structuralism. Instead of breaking down thoughts and behavior to
their smallest elements, the gestalt psychologists believed that you must look at the whole of
experience. According to the Gestalt thinkers, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
The Behaviorist School of Thought in Psychology: Behaviorism became a dominant school of thought
during the 1950s. It was based upon the work of thinkers such as:
John B. Watson
Ivan Pavlov
B. F. Skinner
Behaviorism suggests that all behavior can be explained by environmental causes rather than by internal
forces. Behaviorism is focused on observable behavior. Theories of learning including classical
conditioning and operant conditioning were the focus of a great deal of research.
The behavioral school of psychology had a significant influence on the course of psychology, and many of
the ideas and techniques that emerged from this school of thought are still widely used today. Behavioral
training, token economies, aversion therapy, and other techniques are frequently used in psychotherapy
and behavior modification programs.
The Humanistic School of Thought: Humanistic psychology developed as a response to psychoanalysis and
behaviorism. Humanistic psychology instead focused on individual free will, personal growth and the
concept of self-actualization. While early schools of thought were primarily centered on abnormal human
behavior, humanistic psychology differed considerably in its emphasis on helping people achieve and
fulfill their potential. Major humanist thinkers include: Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers
Cognitive School of Psychology: Cognitive psychology is the school of psychology that studies mental
processes including how people think, perceive, remember and learn. As part of the larger field of
cognitive science, this branch of psychology is related to other disciplines including neuroscience,
philosophy, and linguistics. Cognitive psychology began to emerge during the 1950s, partly as a response
to behaviorism. Critics of behaviorism noted that it failed to account for how internal processes impacted
behavior. This period is sometimes referred to as the "cognitive revolution" as a wealth of research on
topics such as information processing, language, memory, and perception that began to emerge.
One of the most influential theories of this school of thought was the stages of cognitive
development theory proposed by Jean Piaget.
