Orbitofrontal damage - answer✔changes in personality and behavior, including mood lability,
impulsivity, poor social judgment, a lack of empathy, and poor insight into his own behavior.
"Acquired sociopathy."
dorsolateral region (PFC) damage - answer✔produces dysexecutive syndrome,
mediofrontal damage - answer✔region produces apathetic-akinetic (lack in the ability to move)
syndrome.
Conduction aphasia - answer✔is characterized by relatively intact comprehension with fluent
speech that contains many errors, anomia, and impaired repetition. It's caused by damage to the
arcuate fasciculus, which connects Wernicke's area to Broca's area.
standard error of measurement - answer✔is used to construct a confidence interval around an
examinee's obtained score. It's calculated by multiplying the test's standard deviation times the
square root of 1 minus its reliability coefficient.
Increasing alpha from .01 to .05: - answer✔increases statistical power and the probability of
making a Type I error.
Comparable worth procedures - answer✔Comparable worth is the principle that workers
performing different jobs that require the same skills and responsibilities or that are of
comparable value to the employer should be paid the same and has been applied primarily to the
gender gap in wages. Comparable worth procedures are often used to establish pay equity across
different jobs that require similar abilities but have traditionally been performed by men or by
women.
According to Sherif and Hovland's (1961) social judgment theory, an "internal anchor" is: -
answer✔A. a person's attitude toward an issue prior to hearing a persuasive message about that
issue.
Social judgment theory is based on the assumption that the effectiveness of a persuasive message
depends on a person's current position (the person's internal anchor), and it distinguishes between
three "latitudes" that represent different degrees of similarity between the person's position and
the position advocated by a persuasive message. If you aren't familiar with the term "internal
anchor," you may have been able to identify this answer as the correct one using the process of
elimination: Central and peripheral routes (answer B) are addressed by the elaboration likelihood
model, mental discomfort caused by conflicting attitudes and a conflicting attitude and behavior
(answer C) is addressed by cognitive dissonance theory, and providing a person with weak
arguments against his/her attitude and counterarguments refuting those arguments (answer D) is
relevant to the attitude inoculation hypothesis.
goal of Jung's analytical psychotherapy - answer✔is to bring unconscious material into
consciousness to facilitate the process of individuation, which involves achieving individual
"wholeness" (being a unique unified person) by becoming conscious of and harmonizing the
various parts of the psyche.
contralateral neglect - answer✔which is caused by damage to the parietal lobe (most often the
right parietal lobe). A person with this disorder neglects the side of his/her body opposite the
location of the damage and is unaware of objects on that side of his/her body.
When a predictor has a reliability coefficient of .64, you can conclude that its criterion-related
validity coefficient can be no larger than: - answer✔C .80. you need to know that a predictor's
criterion-related validity coefficient can be no larger than the square root of its reliability
coefficient. When the predictor's reliability coefficient is .64, this means it's validity coefficient
can be no larger than the square root of .64, which is .80.
The distribution of scores obtained by 200 college undergraduates on an introductory psychology
final exam is positively skewed. If the scores obtained by these students are converted to
percentile ranks, the resulting distribution will be:
C. flat (rectangular). - answer✔Percentile rank distributions are always flat regardless of the
shape of the raw score distribution because percentile ranks are evenly distributed throughout the
range of scores: The same number of scores fall between the percentile ranks of 1 and 10, 11 and
20, 21 and 30, etc.
The involuntary, jerky movements associated with Huntington's disease are caused by
deterioration of cells in which of the following? - answer✔C. globus pallidus
According to Donn Byrne's (1971) law of attraction, we're most likely to be attracted to people
who: - answer✔D. provide us with more reinforcement than punishment.
Which of the following is not one of the required conditions for a claim of malpractice? -
answer✔Four conditions are required for a claim of malpractice: (a) The psychologist must have
had a professional relationship with the client that established the psychologist's duty to conform
to a professional standard of care. (b) There was a dereliction or breach of the duty on the part of
the psychologist. (c) The client suffered injury or harm as a result of this dereliction or breach.
(d) The psychologist's dereliction or breach of duty was the direct or proximate cause of the
person's harm or injury. Negligence (answer C) is a possible cause of a breach of duty (answer
D) but it's not required for a claim of malpractice because a breach of duty can be due other
factors.
You receive a written request from a former client to send a copy of her file to another
psychologist. The client stopped coming to therapy six weeks ago and has not paid for her last
two sessions even though you've sent her a letter requesting that she do so. Being familiar with
ethical guidelines for this situation, you know that withholding a client's record for nonpayment
of fees is:
A. always unethical when the record is needed for the client's treatment.
B. always unethical when the record is needed for the client's emergency treatment. -
answer✔This answer is most consistent with Standard 6.03 of the APA Ethics Code and
Standards II.1 and II.2 of the Canadian Code of Ethics. Standard 6.03 states that "psychologists
may not withhold records under their control that are requested and needed for a client's/patient's
emergency treatment solely because payment has not been received." (Note that withholding
client records for nonpayment of fees in any situation may be illegal or inconsistent with
institutional regulations, but this question is asking specifically about ethical guidelines.)
Overlearning is most useful for: - answer✔A. skills and knowledge that will be used frequently
on-the-job.
B. skills and knowledge that will be used infrequently on-the-job
The term "shrinking retrograde amnesia" refers to:
A. the tendency of remote long-term memories to be affected more than recent memories by a
head injury. - answer✔D. the return of older long-term memories before more recent long-term
memories following a head injury that caused retrograde amnesia.
A job applicant's score on a job knowledge test is used to predict what her future score on a
measure of job performance will be if she's hired. If the applicant's predicted job performance
score is 75, the measure of job performance has a standard deviation of 6, and the standard error
of estimate is 4, the 95% confidence interval for the applicant's predicted score of 75 is:
A. 69 to 81.
