AP Psych Unit 2 Part 5

Tests designed to predict the ability to learn new skills are called:

• achievement tests.

• aptitude tests.

• intelligence tests.

• diagnostic tests.

The distribution of intelligence test scores in the general population forms a bell-shaped pattern. This pattern is called a:

• scatterplot.

• standard deviation.

• normal curve.

• statistical mean.

The final exam in a calculus course would be an example of a(n):

• aptitude test.

• achievement test.

• intelligence test.

• diagnostic test.

About what percentage of WAIS scores fall between 85 and 115?

• 50%

• 68%

• 75%

• 95%

The heritability of intelligence refers to:

• the extent to which intelligence test scores differ among various age groups.

• the extent to which an individual’s intelligence is attributable to genetic factors.

• the extent to which intelligence is determined by the environment.

• the extent to which intelligence test scores vary between populations.

Children in an Iranian orphanage suffered delayed intellectual development due to:

• poor nutrition.

• lack of a caregiver’s interaction.

• genetic factors.

• high levels of emotional intelligence.

Twin and adoption studies are helpful for assessing the:

• heritability of intelligence.

• environmental influences on intelligence.

• relative contributions of nature and nurture to intelligence.

• correlation between achievement and aptitude.

Research on racial and ethnic differences in intelligence indicates that:

• environmental factors are primarily responsible for differences.

• genetic factors alone explain differences.

• group differences in intelligence test scores are increasing.

• intelligence test scores are unaffected by environmental factors.

Intelligence tests are most likely to be considered culturally biased in terms of:

• their content validity.

• their predictive validity.

• the normal curve.

• standardization procedures.

Girls are most likely to outperform boys in a(n):

• math problem-solving test.

• verbal fluency test.

• chess tournament.

• spatial ability test.
