Question

Frank and Gina are looking at an abstract painting in a museum. Gina describes objects and people she thinks she sees in the painting. Frank says, "It's a bunch of paint thrown on a canvas." Gina responds, "No, there is so much here that you just don't see." During lunch they agree that their experience reminds them of what concept they learned in introductory psychology? (1 point)

Answer 1

In the scenario above, both Gina and Frank has been describing what the abstract painting portrays and both of them had a different conclusion of what it really looks like. Their experience reminded them the projective test which they learned in the introductory psychology, where the projective testing is a test where they show images or words to a person to describe what the person would feel or what he or she describes or responds to what is being shown to them.
