Official AP Psychology thread 2012

Why heuretics are better than algorithms = faster?
Oh right, and Noam Chomsky/Whorf, there were 2 questions with both of them…</p>

Haha for the rods/peripheral vision one I sai how Ross help you see at night and peripheral vision allows you to see around the area. I think I did so bad…</p>

heuristics are faster ,yes</p>

shiiiiiiit it looks you guys had a HARD FRQ, my frq was really easy. Terms were like Ach, correlational study, intrisic motivations, pretty sure I got most of them write. But due to the confirmation effect i probably failed hard.</p>

Yes test scores can’t be released. So never was the right answer.</p>

with the consent of the client is what i put… are you sure NEVER?</p>

I put for the heuristics that it involves real life situations. Don’t worry though becuase I got 70s the whole yr.</p>

Also, informed consent = ethics</p>

And according to the APA Ethical Guidelines on Human Research:
3. Anonymity or confidentiality-- Participants’ privacy must be protected. Their identities and actions must not be revealed by the researcher.
In the Barron’s, it doesn’t give any exception to that rule.</p>

What was the one that we develop language based on signs if we are deaf?</p>

“the bigger the better” is related to helping people in situations…what is it called again?</p>

I remember a similar answer choice for a practice test about the releasing information question. The answer was NOT never.</p>

Yep. I’m fairly certain that it’s never. I have no clue about the deaf question.</p>

chomsky is the deaf one i believe…inborn language</p>

My proctor said that if we had a problem with a question we could call CB directly and petition it. After doing practice exams, I know that questions have been removed. The Stroop and Dichotic/CocktailParty were a bit sketchy IMO.</p>

@the smartest
Bystander Effect, I think</p>

@whatslife
I think I was between Noam Chomsky and Whorf… I wasn’t sure though.</p>

post my username if you think collegeboard is stupid for putting stuff on the exam that aren’t in many standard psych college level or AP textbooks.</p>

lost touch in her right hand is parietal?? correct? please say correct !</p>

I put Chomsky</p>

I studied my ass off and I’m getting so many wrong… Nothing like the released ones.</p>

hatboy, are you writing a letter to collegeboard. If you don’t have the courage to, someone on here has to do it <em>bystander effect</em> lol</p>
