15.	When children learn a concept and use it, practice helps in reducing the errors committed by them. This idea was given by1. E. L. Thorndike2. Jean Piaget3. J. B. Watson4. Lev Vygotsky
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : E. L. Thorndike E.L Thorndike (1874 - 1949), American Psychologist was the exponent of the theory of connectionism or trial and error theory. Thorndike's study on animal behavior and the learning process of cats founded trial and error theory or theory of connectionism. He stated that connections are formed in the nervous system between stimuli and response, illustrated by the symbols S-R. It is meant that Learning is the product between stimulus and response. "Bond" is also used to describe these connections, so this theory is sometimes called as "Bond Theory of Learning". According to the theory, when no solution to the problem is available, then the learner adopts the method of trial and error. He first tries a solution, if it does not help him, he rejects it and switches to another solution of the problem. This process helps to reduce error and in the end, discovers the correct solution. Connection is established by following these three laws. Law of Readiness: Readiness means preparation for action. It stated that learning occurs when an action tendency is present. If one is not ready to learn, learning can not be processed further. Law of Exercise: This law stated that drill or practice helps in increasing efficiency or connection are strengthened with trial or practice. For example; learning to type, learning to drive needs repetition of several actions. Law of Effect: This law suggested that when satisfaction follows an association, it is more likely to be repeated. Thorndike also proposed five secondary laws for the learning process. These are as follows: Law of Multiple Responses: means a change in response till appropriate behavior is known. Law of Attitude or Set: means learner performs the task well if he has attitude set in the task. Law of Response by Analogy: means utilizing previous experiences in new situations. Pre- Potency of elements: means learner reacts only to essential situation and neglect other irrelevant features. Law of Associative Shifting: means learner may get a response, of which a learner is capable. Hence, it can be concluded that when children learn a concept and use it, practice helps in reducing the errors committed by them, this idea was given by E.L Thorndike. According to Piaget’s Cognitive Development Theory: Cognitive development takes place at different rates at different stages of development. Cognition develops through the interaction between the child and the environment. Piaget’s theory focuses not only on understanding how children acquire knowledge but also on understanding the nature of the child’s intelligence. J.B Watson's learning theory It explained that behaviour can be explained in terms of S-R connection in the brain. It is because the contiguity of the brain was enough to establish a connection between stimulus and response. Watson conducted an experiment on his eleven-year-old son. Watson presented him a white rat. His son Albert started loving that white rat. After this, Watson produced a loud sound at the time of his playing with a white rat. After this process, the child started fearing this white rat. In this way, the response of fear got conditioned along with the white rat. Lev Vygotsky', a Soviet psychologist, has propounded the "Socio-cultural Theory". This theory implies the idea that social interaction plays a crucial role in the development of a learner's cognitive ability. According to Vygotsky, social interaction is the primary cause of cognitive development as his theory emphasizes that children learn through interaction and collaboration with skilled and knowledgeable people. In fact, as per Vygotsky’s sociocultural perspective, interaction with adults and abler peers is influence language development.

16.	Which acid is present in the ant sting?1. Tartaric acid2. Methanoic acid3. Lactic acid4. Acetic acid
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Methanoic acid The correct answer is Methanoic acid. Methanoic acid is present in the ant sting. Chemical formula- HCOOH. The sting causes a burning sensation. Methanoic acid is also known as formic acid. A mild base such as baking soda or soap may be applied to neutralize the effect. In 1671, the English naturalist John Ray describe the isolation of the active ingredient. He collected and distilled a large number of dead ants, and the acid he discovered later became known as formic acid. Formic acid is also present in a natural state in stinging nettles. Formic acid is a colourless, fuming liquid that is miscible with water. It is produced as a by-product in the manufacture of acetic acid.

20.	______ motives deal with the need to reach satisfying feeling states and to obtain personal goals.1. Effective2. Affective3. Preservation-oriented4. Safety-oriented
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Affective The intentions, desires, goals, and needs determine human and animal behavior. An inquiry is made into a person’s motives in order to explain that person’s actions. An internal or external force consisting of needs drives and wants that impels people towards certain goals in life Motives are a hypothetical state that activates behavior and propels one towards goals. The meaning of motive is the reason for doing something or behaving in a specific way. Different roles have been assigned to motivational factors in the causation of behavior. Affective motives deal with the need to reach satisfying feeling states and to obtain personal goals as affective motive is related to emotion. McGuire’s 16 motives are organized into four categories- cognitive preservation motives, cognitive growth motives, affective preservation motives, and affective growth motives. The cognitive motives focus on the individual's need for being adaptively oriented towards their environment and achieving a sense of meaning. Whereas affective motives relate to the need to reach satisfying states and to attain personal goals. Thus, it is concluded that Option 2 is correct. William James McGuire is considered by some to be the “father of cognition”. For many decades he was the premier researcher in the field of psychology and persuasion. McGuire developed a motive classification system that is more specific than Maslow’s. McGuire’s system consists of 16 different motives – these help marketers to isolate motives likely to be involved in various consumption situations.

Answer» Given p = 0.09 (success) q = 0.91 (failure) We have to find number of trials ‘n.’ According to the problem, P(X ≥ 1 ) > 1/3 (We must have atleast one success) 1 – P(X < 1) > 1/3 1 – P(X = 0) > 1/3 (or) P(X = 0) < 2/3 Using p.m.f, we have, ⁿC₀(0.09) ⁰ (0.91) ⁿ < 2/3 (0.91)ⁿ < 2/3 we can use log tables to calculate (or) by trial method try for n = 1, 2,…… using calculator. We observe that (0.91)⁵ < 2/3 but (0.91)⁴ = 0.6857 > 2/3. Thus we need a minimum of 5 trials or more.

I didn't understand that after (0.91)n _2/3 .....how to solve using calculator to get 5 and why 5 is the answer? why

Answer»

Given p = 0.09 (success)

q = 0.91 (failure)

We have to find number of trials ‘n.’

According to the problem,

P(X ≥ 1 ) > 1/3

(We must have atleast one success)

1 – P(X < 1) > 1/3

1 – P(X = 0) > 1/3

(or) P(X = 0) < 2/3

Using p.m.f, we have,

ⁿC₀(0.09) ⁰ (0.91) ⁿ < 2/3

(0.91)ⁿ < 2/3

we can use log tables to calculate (or) by trial method try for n = 1, 2,…… using calculator.

We observe that (0.91)⁵ < 2/3 but (0.91)⁴ = 0.6857 > 2/3. Thus we need a minimum of 5 trials or more.
