question 17

Multiple Choice

In a study of the response modulation model, Newman and colleagues (1987) demonstrated that psychopaths did much more poorly than nonpsychopaths on a card-playing task because they chose to continue playing long after it stopped being profitable and they were losing money. The performance difference between psychopaths and nonpsychopaths was eliminated by modifying the task so the participants had to do which of the following?

• A) Explain how they felt after each card they drew
• B) Watch a visual display of their heart rate during the task
• C) Identify out loud which card they had just drawn
• D) Wait 5 seconds before drawing the next card
