About this resource

This quiz comprehensively covers developmental psychology at the Advanced Placement level, appropriate for grades 11-12. The content focuses on major developmental theories and research findings that form the foundation of psychological understanding of human growth across the lifespan. Students need to demonstrate mastery of multiple theoretical frameworks including Piaget's stages of cognitive development, Erikson's psychosocial development theory, Kohlberg's moral reasoning stages, and attachment theory research by Ainsworth and Harlow. The quiz requires students to apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios, distinguish between different developmental processes like assimilation versus accommodation, understand the concept of teratogens in prenatal development, and recognize the characteristics of fluid versus crystallized intelligence. Students must also grasp fundamental developmental psychology concepts such as object permanence, conservation, and the zone of proximal development from Vygotsky's theory. Created by Heather Chambers, a specialty teacher in the US who teaches grades 11 and 12. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for AP Psychology students preparing for comprehensive assessment of developmental psychology units. Teachers can effectively use this resource for review sessions before AP exams, as formative assessment to gauge student understanding of complex theoretical concepts, or as homework to reinforce classroom learning about major developmental theorists. The quiz format makes it ideal for warm-up activities at the beginning of class periods focused on developmental psychology or as practice for the multiple-choice section of the AP Psychology exam. This assessment aligns with College Board AP Psychology standards, specifically supporting learning objectives related to understanding major developmental theories, recognizing research methodologies in developmental psychology, and applying theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios involving human development from infancy through late adulthood.
