Questions and Answers

1.

Cognitive structure is formed in memory.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement "Cognitive structure is formed in memory" is true. Cognitive structure refers to the organization and arrangement of knowledge and information in the mind. It includes concepts, categories, and relationships between them. When we learn new information or gain new experiences, our cognitive structure is modified and expanded. This process involves encoding the information into memory, where it is stored and can be retrieved later. Therefore, cognitive structure is indeed formed in memory.

Latent learning refers to "any learning that is demonstrated by behaviour at the time of the learning."
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Latent learning refers to learning that is not immediately demonstrated by behavior at the time of learning. It is a form of learning that occurs without any obvious reinforcement or motivation. This type of learning is often only revealed when there is a need or motivation to use the information or skills that were acquired. Therefore, the correct answer is false because latent learning is not demonstrated by behavior at the time of learning.

Research into latent learning supports the concept of cognitive structures.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Research into latent learning supports the concept of cognitive structures because latent learning refers to the acquisition of knowledge or skills that are not immediately demonstrated in behavior. This type of learning suggests that individuals have internal mental representations or cognitive structures that allow them to store and process information. The research on latent learning provides evidence for the existence and importance of cognitive structures in learning and problem-solving.

Explanation
The statement suggests that most learning falls somewhere in the top range of the scale, which is a mixture between association and understanding. However, the correct answer is False. This implies that the statement is incorrect and that most learning does not necessarily fall in the top range of the scale.
