    How does Plato see knowledge? - ProProfs

    How does Plato see knowledge?

    • A learned concept

    • An innate ability

    • A copy concept

    • A noble privilege

    Correct Answer
    A. An innate ability
    Explanation
    Plato sees knowledge as an innate ability, meaning that he believes knowledge is inherent in individuals and not acquired through external sources. According to Plato, individuals possess knowledge from birth and it is simply a matter of recollection or remembering what they already know. This concept is known as the theory of recollection, where knowledge is seen as something that the soul possesses prior to being born into the physical world. Plato argues that through philosophical inquiry and reflection, individuals can access this innate knowledge and gain a deeper understanding of reality.

    • Emotional learning process

    • Cognitive learning process

His work, particularly his book "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding," revolutionized the study of the mind and earned him the title of the father of English Psychology.

    The meaning of 'tabula rasa' - ProProfs

    The meaning of 'tabula rasa'

    • A blank book

    • A blank tablet

    • A blanket

    • A table

    Correct Answer
    A. A blank tablet
    Explanation
    Tabula rasa is a Latin phrase that literally translates to "blank tablet." In philosophy, it refers to the concept that individuals are born with a mind that is like a blank slate, devoid of any innate ideas or knowledge. This idea suggests that our experiences and interactions with the world shape our understanding and development. Therefore, the correct answer "A blank tablet" accurately represents the meaning of tabula rasa in this context.

    One of these is a major part of educational psychology.

    • Memory

    • Emotion

    • Adaptation

    • Behaviour

    Correct Answer
    A. Memory
    Explanation
    Memory is a major part of educational psychology because it plays a crucial role in the learning process. It involves the encoding, storage, and retrieval of information, which are essential for acquiring knowledge and skills. Memory allows students to remember and recall facts, concepts, and experiences, enabling them to understand and apply what they have learned. Additionally, memory also influences other cognitive processes, such as attention and problem-solving, making it a fundamental aspect of educational psychology.

    A gift given to a student who gets an answer right is... - ProProfs

    A gift given to a student who gets an answer right is...

    • Reinforcement

    • Bribery

    • Operant conditioning

    • Generosity

    Correct Answer
    A. Operant conditioning
    Explanation
    Operant conditioning refers to a type of learning where behavior is strengthened or weakened based on the consequences that follow it. In this context, giving a gift to a student who gets an answer right can be seen as a form of operant conditioning. The gift serves as a positive reinforcement, which increases the likelihood of the student repeating the behavior of getting answers right in the future. This explanation aligns with the principles of operant conditioning, making it the correct answer.
