Answer:

Investment theory of creativity

Explanation:

Researchers Robert Sternberg and Todd Lubart have proposed a theory called the <u>investment theory of creativity</u>. According to the authors, creative people are like good investors: they buy low and sell high. Their research show that creative ideas are rejected as bizarre or ridiculous by most people when they first come out, and thus they are worth little. Creative people are willing to champion these ideas that are not generally accepted, and it is in this sense that they are "buying low". They try hard to convince other people of the value of the new idea, and eventually they turn them into supported and high value ideas. Creative people "sell high" when they move on from the now generally accepted idea on to the next unpopular but promising idea.

A real world example of this theory was famous filmmaker Stanley Kubrick. When most of his movies first came out, they usually were met with mixed or negative reviews, as was the case of films like <em>A Clockwork Orange </em>(1971) or <em>The Shining </em>(1980). However, after a few years, they were widely recognized as cinematic masterpieces.

A researcher gives participants a list of words referring to concrete objects (e.g., car, apple, box). She tells the first group
Shtirlitz [24]

The correct answer is: "semantic encoding".

In general, encoding techniques are applied in order to elaborate on the information perceived by our senses, seeking to appropiately store it in our longer lasting memory units and to optimize subsequent retrieval.

Semantic encoding consists on relating certain concepts to a context in order to remember them better afterwards, using mechanisms such as chunking or mnemonics. This is the case in the research described where, in order to remember a list of objects, participants connect them to a house context.

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

A/an external locus of control is related to passivity and learned helplessness and a/an internal locus of control has been positively related to confidence in one’s ability to successfully perform tasks.

C. external, internal

Explanation:

It was psychologist J.ulian B. Rotter who, in 1954, introduced the term locus of control. It refers to the degree or extent to which we believe we have control over the outcome of events in our lives as opposed to external forces - forces that are beyond our influence.

External locus of control is when people believe their own behavior will not make much of a difference, that what matters is the outside events and forces. Such people are more passive. On the other hand, internal locus of control is when we believe our behaviors and actions actually have the power to influence events and outcomes. People who present internal locus of control are more confident and active.
