Match List-I with List-II and select the correct answer by choosing from the codes given below : List – I
(Phenomenon)List – II
(Explanation)a. Thinking i. Process of choosing between two or more alternatives on the basis of information about them b. Reasoning ii. Processing information in various ways to move towards a desired goal c. Decision making iii. Mental activity through which we transform available information in order to reach conclusion d. Problem solving iv. An activity that involves the manipulation of mental representation of various features of the external world
Cognitive Processes Matching
This section details the matching of cognitive phenomena from List-I with their explanations from List-II, aligning with the correct answer provided.
Matching Phenomenon to Explanation
- Thinking (a) corresponds to (ii) Processing information in various ways to move towards a desired goal. Thinking is characterized as a goal-directed process involving information manipulation.
- Reasoning (b) corresponds to (iii) Mental activity through which we transform available information in order to reach conclusion. Reasoning involves the logical transformation of existing information to derive a conclusion.
- Decision making (c) corresponds to (iv) An activity that involves the manipulation of mental representation of various features of the external world. This implies that decision making involves analyzing and manipulating internal representations of external elements.
- Problem solving (d) corresponds to (i) Process of choosing between two or more alternatives on the basis of information about them. This definition positions problem solving as a selection process based on evaluated information.
Therefore, the correct set of matches is (a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i).
Important Questions from Analytical Decision Making (Notes)
_________________ psychology is a branch in which the findings of psychology are applied in the field of education.
- Prof. Murthy likes to let her students choose who their partners will be; however, no pair of students may work together for more than seven class periods in a row. Alice and Bob have worked together for seven class periods in a row. Calvin and Denny have worked together for three class periods in a row. Calvin does not want to work with Alice. Who should be assigned to work with Bob?
- Of four agents Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta, three have to be sent together on a mission. If Alpha and Beta cannot go together, Beta and Gamma cannot go together and Gamma and Delta cannot go together, then which of the following holds?
- In an experiment one group of subjects was asked to estimate the product of $8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1$ in 5 seconds. The other group was asked to estimate the product of $1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 4 \times 5 \times 6 \times 7 \times 8$ in the same time. The former group attained a larger estimate than the later group. The biasing effect involved in this case is because of
