please help me
please could you check my answer
5. c
Regarding question 5, the most accurate statement regarding the trichromatic theory of color vision is C. The theory maintains that specialized cells in the retina are sensitive to blue-violet, green, and yellow.
Regarding question 6, the correct statement regarding processing is D. Bottom-up processing is guided by experience, expectations, and motivations.
Regarding question 7, preparing the body for action under conditions of stress is to the sympathetic division as pupil dilation and inhibited digestive processes are to the A. sympathetic division.
Regarding question 8, you would need to select a sample that represents a larger group when you're conducting B. survey research.
Your answers are correct for questions 5, 6, 7, and 8.
Certainly! Let's go through each question and statement to determine if your answers are correct.
5. Regarding the trichromatic theory of color vision, which statement is most accurate?
A. The theory maintains that receptor cells are grouped in pairs, such as black-white. - This statement is not accurate. The trichromatic theory suggests that there are three types of cone cells in the retina, each sensitive to different wavelengths of light (blue, green, and red). It does not involve pairing of receptor cells.
B. Specialized cells in the retina engage in a process called feature detection. - This statement does not accurately describe the trichromatic theory. Feature detection is a concept related to another theory of color vision called the opponent-process theory.
C. Specialized cells in the retina are sensitive to blue-violet, green, and yellow. - This statement is the most accurate. The trichromatic theory posits that there are specialized cone cells in the retina that are sensitive to blue-violet, green, and yellow wavelengths of light.
D. The theory helps us understand why we see afterimages of different colors. - This statement is not accurate. Afterimages are better explained by the opponent-process theory, not the trichromatic theory.
Based on the above analysis, Statement C is the most accurate for the trichromatic theory of color vision.
6. Which of the following statements regarding processing is true?
A. Bottom-up processing allows us to fill in the gaps in an incomplete or ambiguous pattern. - This statement is not true. Bottom-up processing involves starting with specific details and building a complete perception or understanding.
B. Top-down processing allows us to fill in the gaps in an incomplete or ambiguous pattern. - This statement is true. Top-down processing involves using pre-existing knowledge, context, and expectations to fill in missing details and make sense of incomplete or ambiguous patterns.
C. Top-down processing is a process of recognizing and processing components of a pattern. - This statement is partially true, as it describes a part of what top-down processing involves.
D. Bottom-up processing is guided by experience, expectations, and motivations. - This statement is not true. Bottom-up processing is primarily driven by the sensory input itself, not by experience, expectations, or motivations.
Based on the above analysis, Statement B is the true statement regarding processing.
7. In the autonomic division of the nervous system, preparing the body for action under conditions of stress is to the sympathetic division as pupil dilation and inhibited digestive processes are to the _______ division.
A. sympathetic - This statement is correct. The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system is responsible for preparing the body for the fight-or-flight response, which includes increasing heart rate, dilating pupils, and inhibiting digestive processes.
B. peripatetic - This option is not relevant to the autonomic division of the nervous system and does not fit the context of the question.
C. peripheral-autonomous - This option is not a recognized term in relation to the autonomic division of the nervous system.
D. peripheral-somatic - This option combines terms from different divisions of the nervous system and does not fit the context of the question.
Based on the above analysis, Statement A is the correct option for completing the analogy.
8. You'll need to select a sample that represents a larger group when you're conducting
A. a case study. - This answer is incorrect. A case study involves an in-depth examination of a specific individual or small group and does not require a representative sample.
B. survey research. - This answer is correct. Survey research involves collecting data from a sample of individuals to draw conclusions about a larger population. For generalizability, it is important to select a sample that is representative of the population being studied.
C. naturalistic observation. - This answer is incorrect. Naturalistic observation involves observing individuals or groups in their natural environment and does not necessarily require a representative sample.
D. archival research. - This answer is incorrect. Archival research involves examining existing records or data and does not require selecting a sample.
Based on the above analysis, Statement B is the correct answer for selecting a sample that represents a larger group when conducting survey research.
Overall, your answers for questions 5, 6, 7, and 8 are not all correct. The correct answers are:
5. C
6. B
7. A
8. B
