Official AP Psychology thread 2012

blair…damn lol. the example in the ap psych review book i got for avail. heuristic is that there was a plane crash and the family started to drive 10 hours instead of fly so I just used that.</p>

Did anyone else not describe location. Any chance they will count it right if I basically showed how the function was related? Like for proximity/perception I put a building will appear to be small to a person if the person os far away but if the person is closer I put the building will appear large.</p>

@fullmetalx YESSS THATS WHAT I DID!!! FINALLY !! SOME1 ALSO DID THAT! is that right?</p>

@jetsfan your example is 100% correct</p>

I said the parietal lobe because I thought wernickes and brocas areas were in the temporal so I figured sense of touch couldn’t be anywhere near that, but I could ne wrong</p>

Also did we have to be super specific on the first frq? For ethnocentricism I put that the girl couldn’t make any friends since other people believed their culture was more superior than the girl’s. I didn’t say the girl was Chinese or anything like that.</p>

Hahaha. I also did that. For the perception one I wrote about someone skating and perceptions affecting the distance (proximity) the skater stays away from car without hitting it, while maintaining a safe distance.</p>

fullmetalz, bottom line is the more specific the better</p>

Wow, it was such a badly made question. I feel like you needed to mention location to get the points but this is so silly based on the terms given.</p>

Oh, another MC</p>

Meta-analysist?
Something about Psychoanalysis/Psychotherapy?
I was a little lost on that one.</p>

so for prospective memory, if you look it up on google, one definition that comes up is: “Prospective memory refers to remembering to perform intended actions in the future, or simply, remembering to remember.”
so if I talked about memory in general like forgetting something that happened during college visits, do you think that will count?</p>

@writingdog</p>

Oh wait! I kind of put something like that. I put thinking about her future at that college, and picking based on her future. Like if she wanted to go into medicine, she would suit her best for her future or something (you can tell this was a shot in the dark sort of thing)</p>

Is a 5 a 95 raw score??? any1 know? thanks</p>

Meta analysis is a statistical comparison of all forms of therapy I think </p>

Sent from my DROIDX using CC</p>

thats basically 80 mc right and mediocre essays…seems to easy or is it 105?</p>

@meatkabob for that one, I put “effective compared to groups without treatment” or something like that.</p>

@evanh
I put that too. I mean, it only made sense that using a treatment would be at least somewhat useful in comparison to not using a treatment.
But that was just a blind guess, I’ve never heard of the meta-something term before in my ap book :/</p>

Also, was the brain one with the diagram the occipital lobe?</p>

@meatkabob
Yeah, your definition seems like it makes sense to me! hmm… hopefully they’ll be lenient when grading because some of my definitions were kind of vague…</p>

I didn’t even mention location for some questions on the 2nd FRQ… and if that’s what they grade on, then it looks like I’m screwed</p>

@writingdog
Hopefully they’ll take it, haha.</p>

For some of the ones on the second FRQ I mentioned location.
Word list-- I mentioned the location of the words on the list enabled them to be more successfully recalled later by word recall.
Retinal Disparity-- I mentioned the position of the two eyes allows for different images processed by the brain to create depth perception…</p>

But that seems to be all the location I mention.</p>
