All right, hi guys.
00:02
Today we're looking at the question.
00:04
Professor bogle shows a group of participants a set of geometric shapes for a short period of time.
00:09
Later, professor bocal shows the same group a larger set of shapes that includes the first set of shapes randomly distributed among other new images.
00:16
When asked which shapes they prefer, the participants choose shapes from the first group more often than the new images, even though they can't remember which ones had come first.
00:25
This experiment demonstrates which concept.
00:27
Okay, so liking old shapes.
00:36
More than new.
00:40
Okay, let's look through our answer options.
00:43
A, a is priming.
00:46
Priming is going to be the idea that the way you respond to a stimuli is going to depend on what stimuli you were shown first.
00:56
So the most common example you're going to hear for this in psychology is how quickly and efficiently you process a word is going to depend on the word shown before it, how closely related the first stimuli is to your second stimuli.
01:13
So basically, let's say we're looking at the word picture as our second word.
01:18
And if we're shown right before it, the word frame, we're going to process picture more quickly than if we were shown right before it, we were shown the word water.
01:26
We're going to process picture a little bit less efficiently and quickly.
01:31
So i don't think priming is going to be involved here because we're looking at why old shapes would be preferred to new shapes, even without memory.
01:40
So i don't think priming is going to be involved.
01:42
Then we have b, mere exposure effect.
01:47
Mere exposure effect is going to refer to the idea that we're going to like things we're more familiar with.
01:54
And so i think it's helpful to use mere exposure in like a sentence almost where it's going to be like just through mere exposure is going to be enough to be enough to, to form a preference, something like that.
02:08
And i think that's gonna be pretty close here.
02:10
Like how, even though they had no memory that the old shapes were shown first, the fact that some part of their brain recognized that they were familiar with the old shapes was enough to form a preference for them.
02:22
I think b is gonna be pretty close, but let's look at our other answers to be safe.
02:28
Shaping.
02:29
This feels like one of those where it's like a word misdirect, where they think that you saw shapes in the question, might go for this answer.
02:38
But basically shaping is going to be another form of behavioral training almost, where you're going to pinpoint a very specific behavior by first looking at broad behavior and then punishing and reinforcing more and more specific behaviors until you get the exact one you want.
03:00
So an example of this would be let's say i tell you to shoot a basketball into a hoop...
