<p>For a 5- 93-150 points.
Around 70/100 MCQ and 6 essays should get you a 5.</p>
<p>6 out of 8 on the essays for both you mean? Or 6 out of 16 on the essays?</p>
<p>Lets start asking more questions =D It's helping me since I only started reading Barrons a couple days ago and I'm self studying lol.</p>
<p>Q: In Freudian psychoanalysis, what do manifest content and latent content mean with regards to dreams?</p>
<p>Manifest: what actually happens, eg: you run away from a train.
Latent: the unconscious prompts, desires, that are symbolized: eg: you are afraid of your father.</p>
<p>Q: Name the elements of creativity (3).</p>
<p>^ I dunno. Answer please =]</p>
<p>New Q: Explain the difference between the activation-synthesis theory and the information-processing theory.</p>
<p>good question haha</p>
<p>I'll post the answer in about 15 min if no one guesses.</p>
<p>New Q: Relating to hypnosis, explain the differences between role theory, state theory, and the dissociation theory.</p>
<p>activation-synthesis: theory that dreaming is only the brains interpretation of what is happening physiologically in REM sleep</p>
<p>info-processing: theory that stress during the day will increase dreams at night. basically proposes that the brain is dealing with daily stress during REM sleep</p>
<p>^ Correct! Other details include that activation-synthesis is strictly biological, while info-process theorizes that the function of REM is to integrate the info processed during the day into our memories.</p>
<p>role theory: hypnosis is not an an alternate state of a conscious and that people are more easily hypnotized than others.
state theory: hypnosis meets some requirements of an altered state of consciousness.
dissociation theory: hypnosis causes us to divide our conscioussness voluntarily. one part of our consciousness responds to hypnotist and anoother is aware of reality.</p>
<p>is that right?</p>
<p>(I may have these all mixed up)
Activation-synthesis theory is that random neurons are stimulated during sleep and that results in dreams.
Information-processing is when dreams are a way to convert information into memory by sorting it out in dreams (ish?) </p>
<p>Answer to my question: Qualities of creative THINKING (sorry, wasn't clear): originality (unique solutions to a problem), fluency (generating a large number of solutions for a problem), flexibility (shifting easily from one way of problem solving to another)</p>
<p>A conversion disorder is a type of:</p>
<p>a.) mood disorder
b.) somatoform disorder
c.) dissociative disorder
d.) anxiety disorder
e.) personality disorder</p>
<p>B) Somatoform</p>
<p>On that note;</p>
<p>Question, differentiate between somatoform and dissociative disorders.</p>
<p>Yea rade is correct.</p>
<p>Somatoform occur when a person manifests psychological problems through a physical symptom. </p>
<p>Dissociative is a disruption of thinking, processes.</p>
<p>Q: What is the difference between agonists and antagonists?</p>
<p>llpitch: agonists mimic neurotransmitters; antagonists block neurotransmitters</p>
<p>I'm having trouble with statistics. I read it in Barron's but I still don't understand it. How do you find standard deviation? Z-score?</p>
<p>Describe and give an example of the 4 common categories of psychoactive drugs.</p>
<p>agonists -> exite and trigger responses (?)
antagonists -> calms the body down (?)
^I always confuse these two with sympathetic and parasympathetic</p>
<p>Stimulant - speed up body processes - cocaine
Depressant - slow down body processes - alcohol
Hallucinogen - change your perception of reality - marijuana
opiate - powerful painkillers/mood raiser - morphine</p>
<p>I don't think you need to know how to find standard deviation. To find the z score, </p>
<p>z=(the piece of data you have - mean)/standard deviation</p>
