I need help on these questions

It's the usual, just more of it. 80 multiple-choice and true-false questions. Use A for true and B for false. 1. An empirical statement a. is the same thing as a theoretical statement b. is a statement about data - about what happens c. is a proposal about why what happens happens A theoretical statement a. can be proven to be true b. is a statement about data. c. is a proposal about why what happens happens The purpose of doing experiments in psychology is to a. prove, for once and forever, whether a particular theory is true or false b. collect data to further our understanding about behavior and psychological processes. c. both (a) and (b) If two variables A and B are shown to have a high correlation, then one can conclude that: a. A causes B b . B causes A c. None of the above Consider the following: If Theory A is True, then B should happen. We do the experiment and B does happen. Therefore, Theory A is True. This reasoning illustrates a. how theories are proven to be true b. how theories cannot be proven to be true c. how theories can be proven false d. none of the above Which of the following is true regarding the confirmation bias? a. It is a bias toward seeking to confirm our hypotheses and our view of the world. b. It may lead us to ignore disconfirming evidence. c. It may lead us to dismiss disconfirming evidence d. All of the above Consider a simple experiment using an alley maze using one of three different reinforcement schedules (Schedule A, B, or C). What is the independent variable in this experiment? a. number of incorrect responses b. running speed c. reinforcement schedule (A, B, or C). d. the cumulative number of responses For the same experiment described in the previous question, what is the dependent variable? a. number of incorrect responses b. running speed c. reinforcement schedule (A, B, or C). d. the cumulative number of responses The nervous system consists of two kinds of cells, neurons and a. axon cells b. dendrite cells c. geon cells d. glial cells Which of the following statements is true? a. people only use 10 percent of their brains. The other 90 percent serves no known function. b. people only use 10 percent of their neurons. c. people can be trained to use the other 90 percent of their brain to be smarter. d. none of the above
