I was having trouble with 6a, I'm not exactly sure what it is asking... And also 7 a and 14 b ( I know that categorical systems have low inter rater reliability but what about dimensional systems? And question 22 ( I always though critical period and sensitive period were the same thing)
Thanks for the help!
Can someone else also attempt these so we can compare answers?
6a: I believe is latent learning.
7a: Tricky. I think they are referring to the conditions in the experiment such a 'watching a film of an aggressive model' or 'watching a cartoon be aggressive'
14b: Categorical.
22. Critical and sensitive are both different things. Grivas book explains them weirdly.
Here are my definitions:
Sensitive periods: a specific time/period in development when an organism is more responsive to
certain environmental stimuli or experiences.
• These are the best times for a developing individual to learn specific things.
• Occurs in humans
Critical periods: refers to a very narrow period of time in an animal’s development in which the
animal is pre-programmed for learning to occur.
• e.g. young birds have imprinted on their carer as their substitute mother.
• Occurs in animals
