#2
What theory suggests that aggressive behavior is learned through observation and imitation?
Social Learning Theory
ExplanationSocial Learning Theory proposes that aggression is acquired through observing and imitating others.
#3
Which factor is NOT associated with improved recall?
Rapid presentation
ExplanationRapid presentation does not necessarily enhance recall.
#4
Which cognitive process is involved in the encoding stage of memory?
Attention
ExplanationAttention is crucial during the encoding stage to transfer information into memory.
#5
Which of the following is NOT a strategy to improve recall?

Which factor can lead to increased aggression according to the frustration-aggression hypothesis?
Unmet goals or blocked desires
ExplanationAccording to the frustration-aggression hypothesis, unmet goals or blocked desires can escalate aggression.
#8
According to the encoding specificity principle, recall is best when:

ExplanationRecall is optimized when the context during retrieval matches the context during encoding.
#9
Which cognitive bias suggests that individuals tend to remember information that confirms their preexisting beliefs?
Confirmation bias
ExplanationConfirmation bias leads people to recall information that aligns with their existing beliefs.
