- Centity
- Dincremental
4Eugenics was a movement that promoted
- Ausing measures of physical capabilities (e.g., visual acuity) as estimates of a person’s intelligence.
- Bpreventing people from reproducing if they were deemed to be genetically inferior, so as to improve the human gene pool.
- Cthe use of genetic engineering technologies to improve the human gene pool.
- Dthe assimilation of one culture into another, often as part of colonialism.
5As a major exam approaches, a teacher who is hoping to reduce stereotype threat and promote an incremental theory of intelligence would most likely
- Alet students know that hard work is the best way to prepare for the exam.
- Bremind test takers that males tend to do poorly on the problems.
- Ccite the research of a recent study showing that a particular gene is linked to IQ.
- Dremind students that they inherited their IQ from their parents.
6Spearman believed that
- Aintelligence scores for math and history courses should not be correlated.
- Bsome people’s brains are more “powerful” than others, thus giving them more “mental energy.”
- Cpeople have multiple types of intelligence.
- Dstatistics cannot help researchers understand how different types of intelligence are related to each other.
7What is factor analysis?
- Athe technique for testing the difference between two means
- Ba statistical procedure that is used to identify which sets of psychological measures are highly correlated with each other
- Ca method of ranking individuals by their intelligence
- Dthe technique for testing for a single, general intelligence
8Which of the following did Gardner include in his approach to multiple intelligences?
- Acreative
- Bgustatory
- Ckinesthetic
- Dpractical
9The ability to adapt to new situations and solve new problems reflects ________ intelligence(s), whereas the ability to draw on one’s experiences and knowledge reflects ________ intelligence(s).
- Amultiple; general
- Bcrystallized; fluid
- Cgeneral; multiple
- Dfluid; crystallized
10Research on gender differences in intelligence leads to the general conclusion that
- Amales are more intelligent than females.
- Bfemales are more intelligent than males.
- Cmales and females are equal in overall intelligence.
- Dit has been impossible, thus far, to tell which gender is more intelligent.
11When scientists insert genetic material into an animal’s genome, the result is called a ________.
- Aknockout animal
- Bfraternal twin
- Ctransgenic animal
- Dgenomic animal
12How do gene knockout studies help to identify the contribution of specific genes to intelligence?
- AAfter inserting genetic material, scientists can see how intelligence has changed.
- BThey allow scientists to compare identical and -fraternal twins.
- CScientists can rank animals in terms of intelligence, and then see how the most intelligent animals differ genetically from the least intelligent.
- DAfter removing or suppressing a portion of genetic material, scientists can look for changes in intelligence.
13What have controlled experiments with animals found regarding the effects of the environment on intelligence?
- AStimulated environments resulted in faster learning and enhanced brain development.
- BStimulated environments resulted in slower learning and poorer brain development.
- CDeprived environments had no effect on learning but caused poorer brain development.
- DDeprived environments resulted in faster learning and enhanced brain development.
14In which way have psychologists not studied the major environmental factors that, through their interaction with genes, influence intelligence?
- Aby measuring stress hormones among poor and affluent children and correlating them with intelligence test scores
- Bby depriving some children of education and comparing them to others who attended school
- Cby measuring children’s nutrition and then correlating it with intelligence scores
- Dby correlating children’s birth order in the family with intelligence scores
15Research on nootropic drugs shows that
- Athey have a much larger effect on intelligence than do environmental factors such as socioeconomic status.
- Bthey show low addiction rates and are therefore quite safe.
- Cthese drugs can boost cognitive functioning.
- Dthey have a larger effect on long-term memory than on working memory.
16The deviation IQ is calculated by comparing an individual’s test score
- Ato the average score for other people who are the same age.
- Bto that same individual’s school grades.
- Cto that same person’s test score from a different IQ test; the “deviation” between the tests is a measure of whether either test is inaccurate.
- Dat one point in time to that same person’s test score at a different point in time.
17If someone’s mental age is double her chronological age, what would her IQ be?
- Acannot be determined with this information
- B200
- C50
- D100
18________ is the situation in which, when people are aware of stereotypes about their social group, and their social group membership is brought to their minds, they may experience a reduction in their performance on a stereotype-relevant task.
- AHereditary intelligence
- BStereotype threat
- CIntelligence discrimination
- DIncremental intelligence
19According to the discussion of the race and IQ controversy,
- Athe use of Raven’s Progressive Matrices has shown that there are in fact no differences in IQ between the “races”; any such group differences must be due to cultural biases built into the tests.
- Bthere are clear IQ differences between people of different ethnicities, and these probably have a genetic basis.
- Cmany scholars believe that the ethnic differences in IQ are so large that one could argue that a person’s race should be considered a relevant factor in important decisions, such as who to let into medical school or who to hire for a specific job.
- Deven if culturally unbiased tests are constructed, the testing process itself may still favour some cultures over others.
20Which of the following research findings has been used to support Spearman’s notion of g?
- APeople with low g are better able to do some tasks than people with high g.
- BThe brains of people with low g conduct impulses more quickly.
- CPeople with high g tend to earn about the same income as people with low g.
- Dgrades in different school subjects
21________ proposed that there are eight different forms of intelligence, each independent from the others.
- ARobert Sternberg
- BRaymond Cattell
- CL. L. Thurstone
- DHoward Gardner
22The hierarchical model of intelligence describes that
- Ascores on intelligence tests are affected by different levels of factors, ranging from lower-level factors such as physical health, to higher-level factors such as a person’s motivation for doing well on a test.
- Bintelligence is comprised of three levels of factors, which are roughly similar to Spearman’s g, Thurstone’s primary mental abilities, and Spearman’s s.
- Cintelligence is broken down into two factors, a higher-level factor called g, and a lower-level factor called s.
- Dsome types of intelligence are more powerful and desirable than others.
23Men tend to outperform women on tasks requiring __________, whereas women outperform men on tasks requiring __________.
- Alogic; intuition
- Bpractical intelligence; interpersonal intelligence
- Cspatial abilities; the ability to read people’s emotions
- Dmemory; creativity
24Identical twins, whether reared together or apart, tend to score very similarly on standardized measures of intelligence. Which of the following statements does this finding support?
- AGenes are an important source of individual variation in intelligence test scores.
- BIntelligence levels are based on environmental factors for both twins reared together and those reared apart.
- CEnvironmental factors are stronger influences on twins raised together compared to those reared apart.
- DThe “intelligence gene” is identical in both twins reared together and reared apart.
25A commonly used nootropic drug is ________.
- ATylenol®
- BEcstasy
