Studies of human infants as young as 1 month of age have demonstrated that young infants spend more time looking at the edges and curved contours of an object than they do looking at the interior of an object.

This finding provides support for which of the following models and why?
a) Feature detection, because the model posits that we first break down objects into components such as edges and contours
b) Template, because the model posits that we have stored models for all components, such as edges and contours.
c) Parallel processing, because the model posits that we identify contours and edges at the same time.
d) Conceptually driven processing, because the model posits that we rely on context to identify contours and edges.

Question 2

Which of the following statements is true about learning and semantic memory?

a) It is easier to learn new information about a subject if you already have domain knowledge
b) It is easier to learn new information about a subject if it introduces you to a new domain.
c) It is easier to learn new information if a subject has a small number of associates.
d) It is easier to learn new information if you do not already have perceptual symbols for that subject.
