-: IMPORTANT NOTICE :-
1. Micro-expressions last for about
1/4 second
1 second
1/2 second
1/10 second
2. Perception can take place to resolve______ to male sense
unsolved problems
brain's dilemmas
ambiguities
None of the above
Explanation :-
Perception is the process by which we interpret and make sense of sensory information from the environment around us. Ambiguities refer to situations where the information we receive can be interpreted in multiple ways or is unclear. In these cases, our brain engages in perception to resolve these ambiguities and make sense of what we are experiencing.
For example, when we see an image or hear a sound that is not immediately clear, our brain works to interpret the sensory data and provide a coherent understanding of what we're perceiving. This process involves drawing on our past experiences, knowledge, and context to arrive at a meaningful interpretation.
So, when the statement says "Perception can take place to resolve ambiguities to make sense," it means that our perception processes help us understand and interpret unclear or ambiguous information in order to create a meaningful understanding of our surroundings.
3. In ________, the hand ring gesture stands for zero.
UK
Belgium
France
Russia
Explanation :-
The hand ring gesture representing zero is specific to the country of Belgium. In Belgian Sign Language (LSFB or Langue des Signes de Belgique Francophone), the hand ring gesture is used to convey the concept of zero. This gesture involves forming an "O" shape with your fingers, resembling the numeral zero. It's a visual representation that has been adopted in Belgian Sign Language to convey this numerical value without the need for spoken or written language.
Different sign languages around the world can have variations in their signs and gestures to represent numbers and concepts. In this case, the hand ring gesture as a symbol for zero is a linguistic feature unique to Belgian Sign Language and its community.
4. In music, minor tones are associated with
Eagerness
Restlessness
Uneasiness
Sadness
Explanation :-
Minor tones are a musical concept that refers to a specific set of intervals between notes that create a distinct emotional quality in music. Music composed in a minor key tends to evoke feelings of sadness, melancholy, or a sense of emotional depth. The intervals between the notes in a minor scale contribute to a more somber and introspective mood compared to major scales.
While music's impact on emotions can be subjective and cultural, the association of minor tones with sadness is a common and widely recognized aspect of music theory. The unique tonal qualities of minor scales contribute to the emotional depth and complexity that music can convey.
5. Consider the following statements.
A: Smiling is neither an in-born nor an acquired non-verbal communication
B: Certain facial expressions persist across cultures
Both A and B are correct
A is correct but B is wrong
B is correct but A is wrong
Both A and B are wrong
Explanation :-
- Statement A: "Smiling is neither an in-born nor an acquired non-verbal communication" - This statement is incorrect. Smiling is considered to be an in-born non-verbal communication. Babies are known to smile even shortly after birth, before they have had any significant exposure to the external world. It's a universal expression that seems to be hardwired into humans.
- Statement B: "Certain facial expressions persist across cultures" - This statement is correct. Some facial expressions, like those associated with basic emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger, fear, and surprise, are recognized and understood across different cultures. While there can be some cultural variations in how emotions are expressed and interpreted, certain core facial expressions are generally consistent due to their biological and evolutionary basis.
So, the correct assessment is that Statement B is correct (certain facial expressions persist across cultures), but Statement A is wrong (smiling is considered to be an in-born non-verbal communication).
6. masking is related to
Squelched expressions
Micro-expressions
Beaming expression
Simpering
Explanation :-
Masking in the context of non-verbal communication refers to the act of concealing one's true emotions or feelings by presenting a different emotional expression. Squelched expressions, in this context, refer to emotions that are intentionally suppressed or hidden.
For instance, someone might mask their true feelings of frustration by putting on a smile or maintaining a composed facial expression. This masking of emotions can be seen in situations where a person chooses to hide their true emotional state, often for social reasons or to conform to societal norms.
7. We can difference between two singers because of
Timbre
Pitch
Frequency
Amplitude
Explanation :-
**Timbre** is the quality or color of a sound that distinguishes different musical instruments or voices, even when they are playing or singing the same pitch and loudness. It's what allows us to differentiate between two singers with similar pitches and volumes. Timbre is influenced by factors such as the harmonics, overtones, and the unique characteristics of the vocal tract or instrument producing the sound.
**Pitch** refers to the perceived highness or lowness of a sound and is determined by the frequency of the sound wave.
**Frequency** is the number of oscillations or cycles a sound wave completes in a second and is closely related to pitch. Higher frequency waves are perceived as higher-pitched sounds.
**Amplitude** is the magnitude or strength of a sound wave, often associated with the loudness of a sound.
While all of these factors can play a role in differentiating between sounds and singers, timbre is the primary factor that allows us to distinguish between singers with similar pitches and volumes.
8. Pitch is dependent on_____ of the note
tonality
quality
timbre
frequency
Explanation :-
Pitch refers to the perceived highness or lowness of a sound, and it is closely tied to the frequency of the sound wave. Higher frequencies result in higher-pitched sounds, while lower frequencies result in lower-pitched sounds. This relationship between pitch and frequency is a fundamental principle in music and sound perception.
9. Only _____of us are genuine multitaskers
10%
15%
2%
7%
Only **2%** of us are genuine multitaskers.
Multitasking, the ability to effectively handle multiple tasks simultaneously, is a skill that only a very small percentage of the population possesses. Most individuals are not truly efficient at multitasking, despite the common belief that people can effectively juggle many tasks at once.
10. The direction in which we read a certain script is called
The halo effect
Anchoring bias
Apophenia
Scanning bias
Explanation :-
Scanning bias refers to the tendency of the human eye to read or scan text in a particular direction, which is influenced by the writing system used in a particular language. For example, in languages that are written from left to right (like English), the scanning bias is from left to right. In languages that are written from right to left (like Arabic or Hebrew), the scanning bias is from right to left. Similarly, in languages that are written vertically, the scanning bias will be in the direction of that vertical arrangement.
The other terms mentioned in your options, such as the halo effect, anchoring bias, and apophenia, are psychological concepts related to cognitive biases and perceptual tendencies but are not specifically related to the direction in which we read scripts.
11. Consider the following sentences.
A: Two conflicting ways of completing incomplete data create visual illusions
B. Size-constancy of what is seen is dependent on subject-object relations
Both A and B are correct
A is correct but B is wrong
B is correct but A is wrong
Both A and B are wrong
Explanation :-
- Statement A: "Two conflicting ways of completing incomplete data create visual illusions" - This statement is correct. Visual illusions can occur when our brain receives conflicting or ambiguous information and tries to interpret it in multiple ways. Incomplete or conflicting data can lead to perceptual phenomena where our brain "fills in the gaps" using its own interpretation, resulting in illusions.
- Statement B: "Size-constancy of what is seen is dependent on subject-object relations" - This statement is also correct. Size constancy is a phenomenon in which we perceive objects as maintaining their size even when the distance between us and the object changes. This perception is indeed influenced by subject-object relations, including factors like distance and angle of viewing. Our brain adjusts our perception of size based on these relationships to maintain a consistent understanding of object size.
So, both statements A and B are accurate and reflect concepts related to visual perception and illusions.
12. Consider the following statements.
A: 63% of us are able to correctly read facial expressions
B: Learning how to hide facial expressions is common in social contexts
Both A and B are correct
A is correct but B is wrong
B is correct but A is wrong
Both A and B are wrong
Explanation :-
- Statement A: "63% of us are able to correctly read facial expressions" - This statement is correct. Studies have shown that a significant portion of the population is able to accurately read and interpret facial expressions, which are nonverbal cues that convey emotions and intentions.
- Statement B: "Learning how to hide facial expressions is common in social contexts" - This statement is incorrect. While it is true that some individuals may attempt to mask or hide their true emotions in certain social situations, it is not accurate to say that "learning how to hide facial expressions" is common across all social contexts. Many people display genuine emotions through their facial expressions, and the ability to successfully hide facial expressions is not as widespread as this statement suggests.
So, statement A is correct (63% of us are able to correctly read facial expressions), but statement B is incorrect (learning how to hide facial expressions is not universally common in social contexts).
13. Which of the following is not an element of surveillance in a world dominated by visual culture?
Security
Voyeurism
Entertainment
None of the above
Explanation :-
In a world dominated by visual culture, surveillance often involves the use of visual technologies to monitor and gather information. The other three options—**Voyeurism**, **Entertainment**, and **None of the above**—can all be elements of surveillance in this context.
- **Voyeurism**: This refers to the act of secretly observing others without their consent. In a world of visual culture, surveillance systems might unintentionally or intentionally capture private moments or spaces, reflecting voyeuristic tendencies.
- **Entertainment**: Surveillance can be used for entertainment purposes, such as reality TV shows, live streaming, and social media platforms where people share their lives with an audience. This can create a form of entertainment that involves observing others.
- **None of the above**: This option suggests that all the listed elements—security, voyeurism, and entertainment—could be part of surveillance in a visual culture. However, the statement explicitly asks for an element that is not related to surveillance, which is **Security**. Surveillance often aims to enhance security by monitoring and protecting areas, individuals, and assets.
So, the correct answer is **Security**.
14. Consider the following statements.
A: There is no guarantee that the real is being actually mediated through mediating devices: for all we know ,AI may be anchoring news channels.
B: The game addicts are caught in the problem of simulacrum; they live in multiple realities that cannot co-exist
Both A and B are correct
A is correct but B is wrong
B is correct but A is wrong
Both A and B are wrong
Explanation :-
- Statement A: "There is no guarantee that the real is being actually mediated through mediating devices: for all we know, AI may be anchoring news channels." - This statement is correct. With the advancements in technology and the rise of AI, there is a concern about how much of what we perceive as "real" is actually mediated and influenced by various technologies, including AI. The concept of AI anchoring news channels illustrates how artificial intelligence might be involved in shaping the way news and information are presented to the public.
- Statement B: "The game addicts are caught in the problem of simulacrum; they live in multiple realities that cannot co-exist." - This statement is also correct. The idea of the simulacrum, popularized by philosopher Jean Baudrillard, refers to situations where reality and representations become blurred. Game addicts might become so immersed in virtual worlds that they start experiencing multiple realities—both the virtual reality of the game and the physical reality of their everyday life. These realities might not coexist harmoniously, leading to challenges in distinguishing between them.
So, both statements A and B are accurate observations about the potential complexities of contemporary technological and perceptual experiences.
15. Learning back as a gesture in Normal Rockwell's Tom Swayer is a sign of
Aggression
Leadership
Subordination
Fear
Explanation :-
Learning back as a gesture in Normal Rockwell's depiction of Tom Sawyer is a sign of **Subordination**.
In Normal Rockwell's famous illustration of Tom Sawyer, the scene depicts Tom at school, leaning back in his chair. This posture suggests a lack of attentiveness and a certain level of disregard for authority or rules. It can be interpreted as a sign of subordination or defiance, indicating that Tom is not fully engaged in the classroom setting and might be displaying a somewhat rebellious attitude. This gesture aligns with the mischievous and independent character traits often associated with Tom Sawyer in Mark Twain's novel.
