<em>Would a prediction be accurate if the person about to act becomes aware of the prediction prior to the act itself? </em>
This is a classic problem of the deterministic approach to action. If psychology was perfect, it is likely that this would enable psychologists to predict how a person is going to act in any situation. It would also make psychologists able to predict when this act would take place. However, for such a prediction to be useful, the psychologist would have to keep this information from the subject. Otherwise, the knowledge of the prediction could potentially make the person act in a different way, rendering the prediction obsolete.
<em>Does the fact that a prediction can be known in advance disprove the possibility of predicting accurately or is that fact just one more antecedent condition? </em>
The fact that a prediction can be known in advance does disprove the possibility of predicting accurately. The moment a prediction is made, the prediction alters the state of the components that were necessary to know in order to make a prediction. Therefore, the prediction becomes obsolete as the action might or might not happen in the way that was previously predicted.
Answer:
Multiple choice, T/F, and matching tests
Explanation:
Multiple choice questions contain two parts: the question or problem itself, and a set of possible answers. One of those options is the best answer to the question, while other options serve as distractors and are incorrect. These questions measure how well the test takers are able to recall the information they've learned.
In true or false questions, the test takers have to determine whether the given statement is true or false. These questions determine the taker's ability to identify the authenticity of various types of statement, such as facts, statistics, relationships, generalizations, principles, etc.
A matching question consists of two lists of related words, phrases, pictures, or symbols. Each option from one list is paired with at least one option from the other list. These questions measure the test taker's ability to connect words, complete sentences, or pair words with their definition.
