<p>What textbook do you use? The Myers book certainly calls them as such, as does the Barron’s prep book.</p>
<p>^Agree with Keasbey Nights. </p>
<p>Here is a question from the 2004 Released Exam. Only 28 percent got it right:</p>
<p>Which Piagetian stage of cognitive development is characterized by mastery of conservation tasks?</p>
<p>(A) Sensorimotor
(B) Preoperational
(C) Concrete operations
(D) Formal operations
(E) Tertiary circular reactions</p>
<p>I’m back!!!</p>
<h2>B - Preoperational</h2>
<p>Explain the Robert Sternberg’s triarchic theory of intelligence, Howard Gardner’s idea of multiple intelligence and emotional theory.</p>
<p>I am quite certain that it is not B because thats one of the moral stages, I have never heard of E before, so I am going to eliminate that too.</p>
<p>A, C, and D</p>
<p>C and D seems to be contradicting to each other; but I am going to eliminate both of them and guess A.</p>
<p>I am thinking it is B because Sensorimotor is relying on senses and reflexes. Preoperational is the beginning of language. Concrete is more logical thinking like concepts of conservation. Formal deals with abstract thinking/reasoning like hypothesis thinking. So that’s why I think it’s Preoperational: it’s the only stage where ‘language’ is mention.</p>
<p>^Sorry guys, the correct answer is C!!! A,B,C, and D are in order the four stages in Piaget’s theory. I think they made E up. Now you know why just 28 percent got it right.</p>
<p>Welcome back Aquamarina!!! Wondered what happened to you.</p>
<p>Well, Sternberg says that there are three (no surprise) aspects of intelligence. They are Analytical intelligence, Creative intelligence, and Practical intelligence. Not to be outdone, Gardner says that there are multiple intelligences. His ever growing list includes everything from linguistic intelligence to musical intelligence. His critics say these are just skills.</p>
<p>Here’s another tough one from 04. Just 41 percent got it right.</p>
<p>The psychologists who first developed encounter groups and sensitivity-training groups based their work on which of the following approaches to therapy?</p>
<p>(A) Psychodynamic
(B) Humanistic
(C) Behavioral
(D) Cognitive
(E) Biological</p>
<p>(B) Humanistic</p>
<p>Briefly describe Kohlberg’s stages of Moral Development.</p>
<p>Pre-Conventional: Decisions are based on avoiding negative consequences and gaining things for oneself.</p>
<p>Conventional: Decisions are based on societal norms for moral behavior. Conventional views on right and wrong are the standard.</p>
<p>Post-Conventional: Decisions are based on personal views on what is right based on experience. One’s own moral beliefs take precedent over laws believed to be unjust. </p>
<p>What are the location and function of the cerebellum?</p>
<p>What are the location and function of the cerebellum?
The cerebellum is located on the bottom rear of the brain. It coordinates fine muscle movements, such as tracking a target with our eyes. Interesting fact: Cerebellum means little brain; it looks like a smaller version of our brain stuck onto the underside of our brain.</p>
<h2>Explain the sexual response cycle.</h2>
<p>Does any one know why the answer is C?
Which Piagetian stage of cognitive development is characterized by mastery of conservation tasks?
(A) Sensorimotor
(B) Preoperational
----->(C) Concrete operations
(D) Formal operations
(E) Tertiary circular reactions
I thought in Concrete operations. children learn to think logically about complex relationships between characteristics of objects. EX: concept of conservation. At least, Barron book says so.</p>
<p>^Aquamarina, I believe that either you or Barron’s is confusing Piaget’s stage of concrete operations with his stage of formal operations. According to Piaget, the ability to understand conservation is a key characteristic of the concrete operations stage. During the stage of formal operations (ages 11 and up) individuals can think abstractly and hypothetically. I hope this helps!</p>
<p>Here are two more released AP exam questions that cover Piaget:</p>
<p>A baby looks under the sofa for a ball that has just rolled underneath it. According to Jean Piaget, the baby’s action shows development of</p>
<p>(A) conservation of mass
(B) reversibility
(C) object permanence
(D) logical thinking
(E) metacognition</p>
<p>According to Jean Piaget, what is the earliest stage at which a child is capable of using simple logic to think about objects and events?</p>
<p>(A) Sensorimotor
(B) Preoperational
(C) Symbolic
(D) Concrete operational
(E) Formal operational</p>
<p>Is it C and D?</p>
<p>Yes, it’s certainly C and D.</p>
<p>Yep - It is C and D
I’ll have some more later tonight.</p>
<p>^ Cool! Thanks so much for these questions!</p>
<p>Thanks. It’s not me. It’s Barron. I checked Kaplan and yes it is concrete operation.</p>
<p>Great - glad to help! So here are three questions from the 99 Released exam:</p>
<p>Wolfgang Kohler considered a chimpanzee’s sudden solving of a problem evidence of</p>
<p>(A) instinct
(B) modeling
(C) learning set
(D) insight
(E) spontaneous recovery</p>
<p>Which of the following methods is used to determine the primary components of intelligence?</p>
<p>(A) test-retest
(B) alternate forms
(C) random sampling
(D) factor analysis
(E) standardization</p>
<p>REM sleep, generally an “active” state of sleep, is accompanied by which of the following paradoxes?</p>
<p>(A) slowed heart rate
(B) slowed respiration rate
(C) lowered blood pressure
(D) lowered muscle tone
(E) reduced eye movements</p>
<p>D - Insight learning
E - standardization
Here’s a guess for 3rd one: D - lowered muscle tone or muscle relaxation</p>
<p>I have a question. Where do all impulses/messages first receive in the brain. It’s the thalamus, right? Does that includes all types of sensory impulses or just some type? Sound waves after converted into neural impulses are transmitted to auditory cortices thru auditory nerves, so do those impulses go thru thalamus first. So is other senses (like visual signals to visual cortices) except smell right? After that it processes through the amygdala and hippocampus for permanent storage. Which one specificly? amygdala or hippocampus? Are they (amygdala & hippocampus) essentially share the same function? What’s the difference between them except their locations.
Thank you very much</p>
