Question

9. How would we know if an intelligence test was reliable? 10. is the reinforcement of successive approximations to the desired behavior. 11. If two intellectual functions are highly correlated, they represent A) the same type of intelligence B) two different types of intelligence C) creative thinking D) functional fixedness 12. As a group, blind infants A) have difficulty with language interpretation and production as adults B) generate their first words at the same rate as sighted infants, but show language differences as adults C are slower to generate their first words than sighted infants, but show no differences as adults D) are indistinguishable from sighted infants in all measures of language development 3. In operant conditioning, once learning has been established,reinforcement leads to the highest rates of response. A) positive B) negative C) continuous D) partial Learning a second language as an adult is learning a primary language as an infant C) the same as easier than as easy as more difficult than At five months of age, infan ts can detect the correspondence between what they see and what they hear at the phoneme level. This is surprising because A) at this age, infants cannot think B) at this age, infants cannot speak C) all language capabilities are learned D) all of the above

Explanation / Answer

9. Reliability of a test depends on whether it produces stable and consistent results. In order to check if an intelligence test is reliable, one has to assess certain domains of reliability. For instance:

The extent to which an individual's obtained score on the test remains relatively stable over a duration of time (test-retest reliability).

10. Shaping.

11. The same type of intelligence (Option A).

12. Are slower generating their first words but show no differences as adults (Option C).
