  1. 1Statement 1: the army intelligence tests were developed from the original individual IQ tests created by Alfred Binet for educational purposes
    Statement 2: US army intelligence tests used beta tests for literates and alpha tests for illiterates and non-English speakers
    1. AStatement 1: true
      Statement 2: false
    2. BStatement 1: false
      Statement 2: true
    3. CBoth are false
    4. DBoth are true
  2. 2Statement 1: the problem with the alpha and beta intelligence tests were that a majority of individuals were obtaining a score of zero
    Statement 2: Yerkes believed that intelligence of solider's was inborn and not accidents of the environment
    1. ABoth are true
    2. BStatement 1: true
      Statement 2: false
    3. CBoth are false
    4. DStatement 1: false
      Statement 1: true
  3. 3Statement 1: the average mental age of white American males calculated from the data from WW1 was 13.08 years
    Statement 2: The reference group used for standarisation was lower-class individuals with a mental age of 16
    1. AStatement 1: true
      Statement 2: false
    2. BBoth are true
    3. CBoth are false
    4. DStatement 1: false
      Statement 2: true
  4. 4What did the data from the WW1 sample mean when white American males were described as having a mental age of 13 years?
    1. AAverage white American male performed a bit worse than the reference group made up of students and businessmen at the Army tests
    2. BAverage white American male performed a significantly worse than the reference group made up of lower-class individuals at the Army tests
    3. CAverage white American male performed a bit worse than the reference group made up of lower-class individuals at the Army tests
    4. DAverage black American male performed a significantly worse than the reference group made up of students and businessmen at the Army tests
  5. 5Statement 1: The Bell Curve by Hernstein and Murray argued that IQ is largely inherited and is relatively invariant (IQ is constant over time), thus educational interventions aimed to increase IQ are highly successful
    Statement 2: Howe criticised the Bell Curve and argued that educational interventions are so short that it is hard to find an effect at all
    1. AStatement 1: false
      Statement 2: true
    2. BStatement 1: true
      Statement 2: false
    3. CBoth are true
    4. DBoth are false
  6. 6Statement 1: There is evidence of a genetic component of intelligence using twin studies. These studies have all shown the same pattern of results.
    Statement 2: Herrnstein and Murray argued that a criminal underclass would be represented by those that were the most intelligent
    1. AStatement 1: true
      Statement 2: false
    2. BBoth are true
    3. CStatement 1: false
      Statement 2: true
    4. DBoth are false
  7. 7Statement 1: there is a higher correlation between the IQs of non-identical twins than identical twins
    Statement 2: heritability estimate for intelligence was about 50%
    1. AStatement 1: false
      Statement 2: true
    2. BBoth are true
    3. CBoth are false
    4. DStatement 1: true
      Statement 2: false
  8. 8Statement 1: there is a larger difference in correlations between identical and non-identical twins when they are adults because they can control their own environment
    Statement 2: even for twins reared apart their IQs correlate to be approximately .76
    1. ABoth are true
    2. BStatement 1: false
      Statement 2: true
    3. CStatement 1: true
      Statement 2: false
    4. DBoth are false
  9. 9Statement 1: the counterarguments for the twin data by Nisbett included that twins reared apart are likely to have been assigned different environments at random
    Statement 2: Bronfenbrenner also showed that dissimilar environments would lead to higher correlations between twins and argued the same is Nisbett that range in environment is restricted
    1. ABoth are false
    2. BBoth are true
    3. CStatement 1: true
      Statement 2: false
    4. DStatement 1: false
      Statement 2: true
  10. 10Statement 1: Nisbett argued that because identical twins look the same they are more likely to be treated similarly
    Statement 2: Devlin argued that twins share the same uterine environment which has an estimate to account for up to 20% of a shared variance between twins
    1. ABoth are true
    2. BStatement 1: false
      Statement 2: true
    3. CBoth are false
    4. DStatement 1: true
      Statement 2: false
