Kruskal- Wallis test B. Two- way ANOVA C. Multiple regression D. Chi- square Answer : (C). Multiple regression Explanation : Multiple regression is a statistical technique that can be used to analyze the relationship between a single dependent variable and several independent variables. The objective of multiple regression analysis is to use the independent variables whose values are known to predict the value of the single dependent value. The process of using several predictor variables to help obtain more accurate predictions is called multiple regression View Answer
		2 . Which of the following statements are true? A. 1, 2 and 3only B. 3 and 4 only C. 2 and 4 only D. 1, 3 and 4 only Answer : (C). 2 and 4 only Explanation : Classical conditioning regulates reflexive, involuntary responses (Exclusively will cheat you from choosing correct answer). Operant conditioning regulates voluntary responses (again Exclusively will redirect from choosing correct answer). So 1 and 3 can eliminate. Classical conditioning can increase sexual arousal. This phenomenon was explored in controversial experiments where Male subjects were conditioned to be sexually aroused to the image of a pair of black boots that initially produced no erotic response. This black fur lined boots were paired with a nude picture of an attractive woman. After conditioning black boots acquired the capacity to arouse the subjects. In short sexual responsiveness may be conditioned to aspects of the partner. So 2 is true. Classical conditioning involves associating an involuntary response and a stimulus, while operant conditioning is a voluntary behavior and a consequence. In operant conditioning the learner is also rewarded with incentives, while classical conditioning involves no such enticements. In classical conditioning the learner is passive while in operant conditioning the learner is active. Therefore 4 is also true. The distinction between the two types of conditioning is not absolute. So the correct option is C View Answer
		3 . The region of the brain which is not implicated in OCD? A. Caudate nuclei B. Orbitofrontal cortex C. Basal ganglia D. Pons Answer : (D). Pons Explanation : Three brain areas the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and the head of the caudate nucleus have been consistently implicated in a large number of resting, symptom provocation, and pre/post treatment studies of adults with OCD. These areas are hyperactive at rest in adults with OCD relative to healthy controls, become more active with symptom provocation, and no longer show hyperactivity at rest following successful treatment with either medication or cognitive-behavioral therapy . And some current theories suggests that OCD may be the result of an imbalance between the “direct” and “indirect” pathways through the basal ganglia. There is increasing evidence that selective basal ganglia dysfunction underlies obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Recent neuroanatomical, neuropharmacological, and behavioural studies indicate a complex perceptual and cognitive role for the basal ganglia in addition to their more well accepted motor functions. In addition, obsessive compulsive symptoms in certain syndromes and in individual cases with basal ganglia disease, response to psychosurgery, and new ant obsessional drugs and recent brain imaging studies all support such a model. So the answer is D. View Answer

Egocentrism Explanation : The Three Mountain Task was developed by Jean Piaget and Bärbel Inhelder in the 1940s to study children's ability to coordinate spatial perspectives. In the task, a child faced a display of three model mountains while a researcher placed a doll at different viewpoints of the display. The researcher asked the child to reconstruct the display from the doll's perspective, select from a set of pictures showing the doll's view, and identify a viewpoint for the doll specified by a picture of the display. Some children around age four did not distinguish between their own view and that of the doll, a tendency interpreted by Piaget as evidence of egocentrism.
