carefully deliberating of whether to accept, reject or suspend judgment in such claim. What type of thinking does
Ms. Jones has?

and being able to read and write. What kind of transfer is described
A. General C. Lateral
B. Specific D. Vertical
Justification: Option D - Vertical transfer is using basic skills (like addition and multiplication) to learn
more complex ones (like reading and writing). This means building upon previously
learned knowledge to master more advanced concepts.
9. He postulated that behaviors can be measured, trained, and changed and that all behaviors are acquired
through conditioning. Who is this proponent that eventually known to be the Father of Behaviorism?
A. Edward Lee Thorndike C. James Watson
B. Albert Bandura D. John Watson
Justification: Option D - John Watson, known as the founder of behaviorism, focused solely on
observable actions, dismissing the study of internal mental states. His influential "Little

found. Just before dismissal, she reminded them to review the capital city of both Asian and Western countries
as well. What component of long-term memory is developed?

manner and Earl began to associate school with the teacher's warmth. Which theory is being illustrated?
A. Meaningful learning C. Classical conditioning
B. Operant conditioning D. Observational learning
Justification: Option C - Through classical conditioning, Earl is learning to associate the positive feeling
of comfort with school because of his teacher's warmth. This demonstrates how we learn
to associate stimuli (the teacher) with responses (comfort), as shown in Pavlov's work.

12. Mr. Santos, a Chemistry teacher automatically assigns the most gorgeous girt in his class to be the class
secretary and the most handsome boy to be the class president. He perceives students who are attractive to be
kind, intelligent and funny. In Edward Lee Thorndike's Connection- ism, this is known as physical attractive-
ness stereotype and the "what is beautiful is good" principle is called?
A. Law of Readiness C. Halo Effect
B. Law of Effect D. Law of Exercise
Justification: Option C - The Halo Effect explains why we might assume someone attractive is also kind,
intelligent, and funny. Mr. Santos is demonstrating this by generalizing a positive trait
(attractiveness) to other unrelated ones.
13. Which of the following best describes what meaningful learning is?
A. When what is to be learned is new and easy for the students
 B. Materials presented are difficult and challenging to the students
C. When the materials to be learned is related to what students already know

IV. Motivation
A. I and II C. I, II, III and IV
B. II and III D. III and IV
Justification: Option C is correct. Bandura's social learning theory states that observational learning
requires attention to, retention of, and the ability to reproduce the observed behavior, along
with sufficient motivation and justification to do so.

behaviors are understood because of who?
A. Edward Thorndike C. B.F. Skinner
B. John Watson D. Ivan Pavlov
Justification: Option D - Pavlov's famous dog experiments showed how a neutral thing (a bell) could,
through association with something naturally causing a response (food), come to trigger
that same response (salivation) on its own. This principle helps explain how we develop
learned fears and anxieties.
16. Which principle is observed by Ausubel's schema theory?
A. There is no need to provide background information
B. Children can be taught on how to study
C. Learners have stock knowledge of things based on background information and experience

learn best by interacting with more experienced individuals, like adults or peers, who guide
their development.
