@alwaysleah, I know what the mere exposure effect is, but because the question was referring to location in general was why I took the Gestalt approach. It seemed to apply more directly.</p>
yo did the sensorimotor baby question ask what would eh NOT do, or what he WOULD do? i said he would throw the toy around.</p>
Regarding the creativity question: The normative part of “normative and divergent” threw me off and led me to select “original and valuable”</p>
For the proximity one: I took it literally, as in closer proximity to the eyes causes an object to be seen as larger, although our depth perception lets us know it is close by, so we perceive it for its actual size despite it taking up a lot of our visual field…</p>
…it was messy, but if the rubric is simple and general enough, a correct answer may lie in there</p>
What did you guys put for the third question involving cognitive dissonance and the movie goers? I went with the people who waited for 5 hours would report that they enjoyed the movie.</p>
Also, the mere-exposure effect has nothing to do with perception. it involves people developing a liking for things they are repeatedly exposed to</p>
But creativity isn’t necessarily “valuable” at least in a technical sense. </p>
Pastorek I got the same thing.</p>
@above it said what is characteristic of a baby in sensorimotor and the answer was I think B. It was a weird one though,</p>
@pastorek, that’s right, since they’d change their attitudes (level of reported enjoyment) to fit and justify their actions (waiting so long)</p>
Doesn’t normative mean “conforming to the norm”?</p>
Yeah. So I really don’t know then.</p>
the definition in my book of creativity is “the ability to create novel and valuable ideas.” Wouldn’t that find original and valuable?</p>
Even if it’s conforming to the norm the divergent part means you’ll think of new ways (creativity) to use that normative thinking.</p>
I think it said something along the lines of “Which of these shows a child in the sensorimotor stage?”
Or something like that…</p>
For the Creative Test, I went with divergent and normative. Even though normative sounds weird and contradicting, divergent seemed to fit it the best. Plus, Original and Valuable sounds too much like a primary distractor (the choice that most students pick just because it sounds right), and I’ve never heard of either term in my Psych book.</p>
Does anyone remember what they put for the MC question about which kind of research shows a casual relationship? I put experiment but now I feel like I should have put correlational grrr…</p>
Also, for the first FRQ, is it okay if I didn’t outright use the word adapt? For example I put “Once she gets to college her agoraphobia will cause her to stay in her dorm, because she fears going into open spaces.”</p>
It’s definitely experimental. </p>
If there’s one thing I’ve learned taking both AP Stat and AP Psych this year, it’s that correlation doesn’t equal causation. 100% positive</p>
I don’t think that’s what agoraphobia means, so it doesn’t really make sense.</p>
@pentuppenguin the ONLY way to determine causal relationships is via experiments, :-)</p>
@pentupenguin
I put experimental, and I’m pretty sure it’s correct. I’ve seen the opposite question very often (What does an experimental relationship show? A: A casual relationship)</p>
@alwaysleah
…but that is what agoraphobia means? O.o
Well, not literally open spaces, but it’s interpreted as that often enough. Just places outside where there can be danger/anxiety.</p>
And also, yeah, from Stats it’s been ingrained in my head “correlation doesn’t equal causation, correlation doesn’t equal causation” haha.</p>
I’m fairly certain that the answer to the sensorimotor baby question was throwing the toy. The answer that talked about conservation implied that the child could even think about the concept of volume. A child in the sensorimotor stage of development cannot even think in such a simple way, they rely solely on their sensory input, such as sucking or grasping. The concept of conservation isn’t even mentioned until the pre-operational stage. While throwing a toy may not be an obvious example of this stage of development, it does fit.</p>
What? I was sure agoraphobia was fear of open spaces >.< What did you guys put for crystallized intelligence? I said it’ll help her succeed academically by allowing her to remember things such as vocal. Again, I didn’t use the word adapt so I hope they take it :(</p>
Only an experiment can prove a causal relationship. Said directly in my Princeton review book.</p>
For the sensorimotor one, what made me actually choose the doll answer was that a child in the sensorimotor stage has not yet developed the language to understand and answer the question “which glass has more”, in addition to all the reasons that have already been given.</p>
