Official AP Psychology thread 2012

I didn’t learn Stroop either from Barrons. I also didn’t learn Prospective Memory, but Ebbinghaus was mentioned briefly.</p>

Stroop = That common thing where you try to read the color of the word.
Example, they give you “Purple” but the word purple is in Red font. Argh I see those mind illusion things all the time T__T</p>

Also–
Dichotic or Cocktail Party for Singing Child in choir?
Myelin Sheath for Sclerosis?</p>

The question about the two 48 year old parent coaches.…what was the answer to that?</p>

cerebellum and delta waves here. Ebbinghaus was in my textbook from school, but stroop and prospective memory were not.
I got stroop effect wrong :(</p>

@Haphazard</p>

I believe that was Generativity. It was the only choice that fell under Erikson’s psychological stage thing.</p>

inter or intra?</p>

It was dichotic, I missed that one and put sensory adaptation
I missed the sclerosis one too. I put dendrites.</p>

the coaches one was generativity</p>

^ intra, I believe</p>

Definitely Cocktail Party Effect for the Singing Choir. I also put myelin sheath for the MS ?.</p>

inter I think. Also, the MS was mylein</p>

Did you guys put accomadation for one? And id.</p>

I put inter, but I wasn’t sure. I guessed inter = between intra = within. “Between” people is a better answer than “within” people.</p>

Accomodation was an answer for the question about changing schemas</p>

crap, it was inter.</p>

It’s interpersonal I’m pretty sure. But I was thinking for a while on that one.</p>

Also the fraternal twins reared together IQ’s correlated higher than those raised apart for demonstrating environmental influence was another one.</p>

@jetfan
Inter, Intra is understanding yourself.</p>

@AspiringAchiever
Alright, thanks. I never really learned Dichotic vs Cocktail, but dichotic sounded more correct. And I switched my answer from Dendrites to Myelin Sheath, but then switched Exhaustion to Resistance (for question 4)</p>

Oh right, which one was the Type A person who was prone to heart diseases? I was stuck between three of them I think :/</p>

Yes to accommodation and yes to id</p>

It was inter (she was good at socializing)
And id (the carefree, selfish part of you)</p>

Damn I got gamma wrong. Unless… Wait was that choice e?</p>

Ok, looking it up on Wikipedia, both Cocktail and Dichotic sound correct -___-</p>

Dichotic: During a standard dichotic listening test, a participant is simultaneously presented with two different auditory stimuli (usually speech) separately to each ear over headphones. Participants are asked to distinguish/identify one or (in a divided-attention experiment) both of the stimuli.</p>

Cocktail Effect: The cocktail party effect (also known as selective attention) is the phenomenon of being able to focus one’s auditory attention on a particular stimulus while filtering out a range of other stimuli, much the same way that a partygoer can focus on a single conversation in a noisy room.</p>

Um. They sound almost the same.</p>

Also the type A was the last one (always uptight, angry)</p>

I failed the short answer</p>
