Two functions of educational psychologist are:-
1. They help in developing instructional methods and
materials.
2. They are concerned with the issues of education,
counseling and learning problems.
3. Train people in both educational and work setting.
(any two)
Experimental method is a research method in which
researchers systematically refer one or more variables in
order to determine whether such changes influence some
aspect of behavior.
Example – to study the effect of reward on learning.
Genotype is the actual genetic material or a person’s
genetic structure or heritage.
Phenotype is the way an individual is expressed in
observable and measureable characteristics example height,
weight etc.
All or none is the rule that that a neuron will always
respond with its complete strength (Action-Potential) to a
stimulus or will not respond at all regardless of the
stimulus magnitude. Therefore a neuron either conducts or
does not conduct and impulse.
Two perceptual constancies are
1. Size constancy
2. Shape constancy
3. Brightness constancy
(Explain any two in detail, pg no. 103 NCERT)
