Re-arrange the following steps of social learning theory as given by Bandura.

a. Remembering the behaviour.
b. Converting the memory into action.
c. Reinforcement of the imitated behaviour.
d. Attending to and perceiving the behaviour.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: B

Bandura's social learning steps run in this order: attention to the behaviour (d), retention, remembering it (a), reproduction, converting the memory into action (b), and reinforcement or motivation (c). The order is d, a, b, c.

Option A starts with remembering, which cannot come before noticing the model. Option C places reinforcement before converting memory into action and option D starts with remembering, so the sequence would not be in the order of Bandura's process. Option B is correct.

Nihar fails in the examination and attributes his failure to the framing of the faulty question paper. Which defence mechanism does he use ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: D

Nihar uses rationalisation: he gives a socially acceptable, seemingly logical excuse (a faulty question paper) for his failure so as to protect his self-esteem, instead of facing the real cause.

Projection would be attributing his own undesirable feelings to others, such as saying that the examiner dislikes him. Compensation is making up for a weakness in one area by excelling in another. Identification is taking on the qualities of a person he admires. None of these is blaming an external factor with a plausible reason, so option D is the key.

If rules of multiplication helps in learning correlation or regression, then it is an example of

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: D

When a rule learned earlier (the rules of multiplication) helps in learning a more complex and advanced topic such as correlation or regression, the transfer moves upward from simple to complex content, and this is called vertical transfer. Horizontal transfer is between two similar tasks at the same level, as when knowledge of one subject helps in a similar one. Negative transfer is when earlier learning hinders new learning. Sequential transfer is not the standard term for this case. The answer is vertical transfer.

According to Freud, Super Ego is properly developed during

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: A

The official key gives the latency period. In Freud's theory the superego begins to form when the Oedipus conflict is resolved at the end of the phallic stage, but it is consolidated and firmly established during the latency period, when the child internalises parental and social standards. The anal period concerns toilet training and the ego-id conflict over control, and the phallic period is only where the superego starts. Hence the key's answer is latency.

When response is based on uncommon area of the blot, it is denoted by

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: B

In scoring the Rorschach inkblot test, a response that uses a rare or unusual small area of the blot is scored Dd (unusual detail). W stands for the whole blot, D for a commonly used large detail and S for the white space. The combinations DW and DdW are not standard location scores for this case. The answer is Dd. The test is scored on three heads: location (where on the blot the response lies), determinants (form, colour, movement or shading) and content. Dd belongs to the location head, together with W, D and S, so the other letters are either whole-blot, common-detail or white-space scores.

Individual psychology of personality was given by

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: A

Individual psychology is the name Alfred Adler gave to his theory of personality, which stresses feelings of inferiority, striving for superiority, social interest and the style of life. Jung founded analytical psychology and Eysenck proposed a dimensional trait theory with extraversion and neuroticism, so neither is right, and an answer is given, so 'None of these' is wrong. The answer is A. Adler. Adler broke away from Freud in 1911 and founded the school of individual psychology, in which the person is treated as an indivisible whole striving to overcome inferiority and to reach a goal. He also coined the term inferiority complex, which is how the school is remembered.

Which of the following theories is most quantitatively measurable ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: C

Clark Hull's learning theory, the hypothetico-deductive system, expresses behaviour with postulates and mathematical formulae, such as the relation of habit strength, drive and reaction potential, so it is the most quantitative of these theories. Pavlov's conditioning is largely described experimentally in terms of salivation counts and Skinner's operant work records response rates without a mathematical system. So Hull's is the most quantitatively measurable.

Maladjusted children are mostly found in

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: A

The official key says maladjusted children are mostly found in broken families or unitary families. Broken homes, where a parent is absent through death, divorce or separation, lack emotional security, discipline and affection, and these are conditions linked with maladjustment. Poor or joint families are not singled out as the main source of maladjustment, and since the first option holds, 'Both of these' and 'None of these' do not apply.

Theory of generalization is similar to the theory of

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: B

The official key is Identical elements. The theory of generalisation (Judd) holds that experience becomes useful when the learner extracts a general principle and applies it to new situations, and the key treats it as similar to the identical elements theory of Thorndike, since in both transfer depends on what the learner carries from one situation to another. Transposition is a Gestalt term, and the key does not accept it or 'Both of these'.

Which is the highest level of concept formation ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: A

Concept formation moves from the concrete and sensory level to higher abstract levels. The highest is the formal level, where the learner can define a concept by its attributes and use it in thinking and in language. The sensory and concrete levels are the earlier, lower levels. Since the formal level exists, 'None of these' is wrong. The answer is the formal level. The earlier stages are concrete (recognising an object met before), identity, and classificatory, in which the learner groups examples. Only at the formal level can the learner name the concept, state its defining attributes and give a definition, which is why the sensory and concrete options are lower, not higher.
