41)Lower-constraint research A)can take the place of highly controlled laboratory research. B)is a legitimate way of looking at certain research questions and may even be the best way to study a specific phenomenon. C)is “sloppy” research and should be used as seldom as possible. D)should only be used at the beginning phases of research. 42)The principle impact that computers have had on psychology is that they have  A)increased the amount of time that is spent on data analysis. B)changed the way that research is designed. C)made possible complex laboratory procedures and data analyses that would have been prohibitively time consuming without computers. D)eliminated the need for experiments, because computer simulations can answer our questions about human behavior. 43)What has been the major impact of computer technology on psychological research? A)Data analysis that once took an enormous amount of time can now be completed in minutes or seconds. B)Space that was once occupied by large computers is now used for psychological research. C)Computers have been able to develop new research methods. D)Computers have eliminated the need for research assistants. 44)Computer technology has created all of the following EXCEPT A)an increased use of complex analysis procedures, such as multivariate ANOVAs and factor analyses. B)much cheaper and faster analyses. C)an explosion in the number and sophistication of analysis procedures. D)mor precise answers to psychological phenomena. 45)Why do the authors of this text believe that we are reaching the limit of growth in data analysis created by computer technology? A)Humans may not be able to comprehend the complex results produced by the computer. B)Computers are now as small as they can get without sacrificing functionality. C)Computers are not able to do computer analyses with more than 12 factors. D)Computers are now working as fast as electricity can travel. 46)The goal of computer modeling is to A)have the computer learn behaviors rather than program them. B)make a similar representation of a working computer. C)find a model that can reproduce exactly what we see in human behavior in comparable situations. D)make the computer work as fast as the human brain. 47)How have computers affected the way researchers collaborate? A)Electronic mail (e-mail) has made it possible for messages and even entire articles to be sent and received in seconds, making collaboration across long distances much more feasible. B)Researchers generally have the same software programs and are able to explain their research ideas in terms of software programs. C)Computers have made collaboration more difficult by eliminating the need for researchers to come to the lab. D)Computers have made collaboration more difficult by requiring good typing skills for effective research. 48)A science is defined by A)new technologies, such as the computers used in the research laboratory. B)its subject matter and by the processes that are used to answer the questions of interest to that discipline. C)the topics upon which it concentrates. D)the topics about which inferences are made. 49)In the field of artificial intelligence, A)brain-damaged individuals are trained to use prosthetic brains. B)computers are programmed to behave intelligently. C)research focuses on the use of chemicals to enhance human intelligence. D)people with mental retardation increase their IQs with new computer programs. 50)Genetic algorithms A)are a new biological procedure. B)have been used for most of the 19th and 20th centuries. C)are a development in computer applications. D)provide new ways of creating genetically modified food. 51)A new computer-based search procedure is called A)general biorhythms. B)generational risk searches. C)genetic algorithms. D)bio-genetic search protocols. 52)Genetic algorithms A)are used to alter the genetic characteristics of food plants. B)are computer programs that mimic biological evolution. C)are biological processes that appear to mimic computer functioning. D)have never been effective. 53)Artificial intelligence systems A)depend on a new class of drugs to make them work. B)are designed to duplicate human intelligence. C)are computers programmed to solve problems. D)cannot really behave intelligently. 54)Maddox claimed that the scientific discoveries that await us are A)entirely unpredictable. B)entirely predictable. C)likely to be a repetition of what we’ve already discovered. D)
