Which psychologist helped pioneer the cognitive perspective?

1 answer:

3 0

George Miller. he provided two very important ideas with respect to cognition. The first regards short term memory, while the second one is planning (TOTE). He set the stage for considering humans behavior as a set of responses that occur hierarchically.

By starting with a falsifiable hypothesis and proceeding to gather data and ensure replicability, a scientist can contribute to

maksim [4K]

Answer:

theory

Explanation:

<em>A scientist can contribute to the formation of a theory in a particular subject by conducting research along the line of that subject.</em>

Conducting research requires the formation of a hypothesis and testing the hypothesis by conducting a relevant experiment during which data are gathered, analyzed, and interpreted in order to falsify or accept the hypothesis.

A good experiment must be replicate-able. When the same experiment is repeated by different independent researchers and the same conclusion is arrived at, this could potentially lead to the formation of a theory.

<u>Hence, a scientist can contribute to the formation of a theory by conducting an experiment with replicability in order to test a hypothesis.</u>

Consider Compton Scattering with visible light.A photon with wavelength 500nm scatters backward(theta=180degree) from a free ele

JulijaS [17]

Answer: $4.86(10)^{-12}m$

Explanation:

The Compton Shift $\Delta \lambda$ in wavelength when photons are scattered is given by the following equation:

$\Delta \lambda=\lambda' - \lambda_{o}=\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)$ (1)

Where:

$\lambda'=500 nm=500(10)^{-9} m$ is the wavelength of the scattered photon

$\lambda_{o}$ is the wavelength of the incident photon

$\lambda_{c}=2.43(10)^{-12} m$ is a constant whose value is given by $\frac{h}{m_{e}.c}$ , being $h=4.136(10)^{-15}eV.s$ the Planck constant, $m_{e}$ the mass of the electron and $c=3(10)^{8}m/s$ the speed of light in vacuum.

$\theta=180\°$ the angle between incident phhoton and the scatered photon.

$\Delta \lambda=2.43(10)^{-12} m (1-cos(180\°))$ (2)

$\Delta \lambda=4.86(10)^{-12}m$ (3) This is the shift in wavelength

What must be the distance between point charge q1 = 28.0 μC and point charge q2 = −57.0 μC for the electrostatic force between t

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

1.686 m

Explanation:

From coulomb's law,

F = kq1q2/r² ...................................... Equation 1

Where F = electrostatic force between the two charges, q1 = first charge, q2 = second charge, r = distance between the charges.

making r the subject of the equation,

r = √(kq1q2/F).......................... Equation 2

Given: F = 5.05 N, q1 = 28.0 μC = 28×10⁻⁶ C, q2 = 57.0 μC = 57.0×10⁻⁶ C

Constant: k = 9.0×10⁹ Nm²/C².

Substituting into equation 2

r = √(9.0×10⁹×28×10⁻⁶×57.0×10⁻⁶/5.05)

r = √(14364×10⁻³/5.05)

r = √(14.364/5.05)

r = √2.844

r = 1.686 m

r = 1.686 m.

Thus the distance must be 1.686 m

Place several E-Field Sensors at a few points on different equipotential lines, and look at the relationship between the electri

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Explanation:

If a charge is moved along a equipotential line, no work is done on the charge.
If we remember that the work done by an external force, is just the product of the component of the force parallel to the displacement, if the force produces no work, this means that is perpendicular to the displacement.
So, as the electric field is just the force per unit charge, and has the same direction as the force (for a positive charge), it must be perpendicular to any equipotential line.
As the electric field (by convention) has the same direction as it would be taken by a positive test charge, and positive charges move from higher voltages to lower ones, the electric field is directed toward lines of lower voltages (like it happens between the plates of a capacitor).
