- Meschler Intelligence Scales
- Stanford-Binet test
- BSID
- Fagans
7. What effect do racial and ethnic stereotypes have on IQ?
- Although differences in group averages can be seen, all can be explained by environmental factors
- Differences in group averages are due to genetic factors
- Differences in group averages can be seen which are not due to environmental factors
- IQ does not differ between various racial and ethnic groups
8. Poverty affects IQ in which way?
- None of the above
- Family income has no relation to IQ
- Adequate family income affects childrens IQ at age 5
- Children in countries with better social welfare systems have worse IQ
9. Operant conditioning can be described as:
- Learning through observation
- Learning through reward/punishment
- Learning through association
- None of the above
10. The Flynn effect states:
- None of the above
- IQ worsens from generation to generation
- IQ improves from generation to generation
- IQ remains constant from generation to generation
11. What is the IQ concordance rate for MZ twins
12. Classical conditioning can be described as:
- None of the above
- Learning through reward/punishment
- Learning through association
- Learning through observation
13. How is reliability defined (with regard to IQ tests)?
- How age-appropriate a test is
- How accurately the test measures what it claims to
- How consistently a test produces the same results
- How rigorously the standards of the test are enforced
14. What do HOME scores show
- A positive correlation between IQ and HOME scores
- No correlation between IQ and HOME scores
- HOME scores can not be generalised across social/ethnic groups
- If HOME scores fluctuate, IQ stays constant
15. Which is true about the consistency of IQ tests
- Validity for measuring intelligence is high
- Test scores from children
- Test scores from children
- Test scores from children 5+ are poorly correlated with later test scores
16. Explanation based learning (e.g. using analogy) is beneficial as
- it is more enjoyable at the expense of less recall
- it is more enjoyable and more is recalled
- it only requires one-trial
- it is quicker
17. A positive operant:
- Decreases the likelihood of a behaviour being repeated
- None of the above
- Increases the likelihood of a behaviour being repeated
- Neither increases nor decreases the likelihood of a behaviour being repeated
18. Which is not true of schooling
- It drives ability to perform well
- IQ follows the same trajectory throughout the school year
- It has no effect on IQ
- It is a good predictor of IQ
19. Which is NOT true
- There is a strong correlation between IQ and later career success
- IQ is not correlated with anything in later life
- There is a strong correlation between IQ and academic success
- HOME scores influence IQ
20. What are the 3 types of phenotype interaction
- Active, conductive, evocative
