AP Psychology Unit 11 Free Response Questions
Directions: Pick two of the following three questions to answer in a well thought out free response question. Use your book and this site on Human Intelligence:
http://www.indiana.edu/~intell/index.shtml
1. Psychologists have long been interested in defining intelligence. Definitions of intelligence have had far-reaching implications on how children are reared and educated. Discuss how three the following psychologists define intelligence:
Alfred Binet- Intelligence entails a fundamental faculty known as good sense or proper judgement
Lewis Terman- Intelligence is part of the internal environment that shows through at the interface between person and external environment as a function of cognitive task demand.
David Wechsler- Intelligence is the aggregate or global capacity of the individual to act purposefully, to think rationally and to deal effectively with his environment
Robert Sternberg- I define [intelligence] as your skill in achieving whatever it is you want to attain in your life within your sociocultural context.by capitalizing on your strengths and compensating for, or correcting, your weaknesses
Howard Gardner- an intelligence is the ability to solve problems or create products that are valued within one or more cultural settings.
Many colleges and universities use standardized tests as part of the admissions process for incoming students. The use of these tests is controversial, and psychologists research ways in which these tests both help and hurt students, adding more pressure to an already difficult process. Discuss the admissions process by investigating how the following impact it:
Reliability and validity of standardized tests -
Erikson’s psychosocial stage-Identity vs. role confusion
Kohlberg’s theory of moral development
2. Marianne is 79 year old, a grandmother and retired local artist, whose specialty was painting murals. Her husband, Edgar, died eight years ago. Active, Marianne is the secretary for her social club and has taken several cruises with good friends the last few years. She’s known as the “Queen of Crossword Puzzles” and “Brainteasers”.
Lately, Marianne has been forgetting where she lives, getting lost and going to the wrong door in her development. She cannot find her keys, eye glasses, and pocketbook regularly. When her daughter, Kaye and grandchildren, Mark, Sami, and Tommy come to visit, she often calls Sami by Kaye’s name. However, Marianne loves to chat about meeting Edgar, falling in love, their wedding and honeymoon, when Kaye and her brother, Eddie, were born and their antics in the neighborhood. But, Marianne can’t remember who the President is today.
Kaye has made an appointment with her mother’s neurologist. How might the following factors relate to Marianne’s behavior?
Crystallized intelligence vs. Fluid Intelligence
Sternberg’s Theory of Intelligence
Emotional Quotient
Gender similarities and differences in intelligence (Marianne vs. Edgar)
Erikson’s Integrity vs. Despair
Death and dying
3. As you know, the Advanced Placement (AP) Psychology exam involves 100 multiple-choice questions and two free response essay questions. The goal of the exam is to accurately measure knowledge of psychological concepts and to communicate to colleges which students would most likely succeed in a college-level psychology course. Each year, few students receive composite scores of 1 and 5, and more students receive scores of 2, 3, or 4. Use the following terms to describe how the College Board most likely developed and evaluates the AP Psychology exam.
• Recognition
• Recall
• Standardization
• Normal curve
• Reliability (test-retest reliability or split-half reliability)
• Content validity
• Predictive validity

What is your definition of intelligence?
Intelligence in simple terms is how smart one is.
{http://imutebipsychap.wikispaces.com/site/embedthumbnail/placeholder?w=NaN&h=NaN} bullet
bullet
If you had to create an "intelligence test" what is one question or task you would require the test taker to do? (examples: figure out a math problem? parallel park an SUV?? change a diaper??)
Think critically about certain ideas and how fast they can think about a certain problem and answer it correctly.
{http://imutebipsychap.wikispaces.com/site/embedthumbnail/placeholder?w=NaN&h=NaN} bullet
bullet
Do you consider yourself to be an intelligent person? How so? Give an example.
Somewhat. I can analyze concepts in a highly philosophical way. And sometimes I can work out problems correctly in a quick manner
{http://imutebipsychap.wikispaces.com/site/embedthumbnail/placeholder?w=NaN&h=NaN} bullet
bullet
Can intelligence be taught??? Explain!!
It can be taught, in that when one reads a lot and practices a lot of critical thinking and fast problem solving, he or she can become really intelligent
{http://imutebipsychap.wikispaces.com/site/embedthumbnail/placeholder?w=NaN&h=NaN} bullet
bullet
How should we go about figuring who is intelligent and who isn't????
To be honest, there are multiple ways one can go about this. I don’t think there is one set way.

Explain one time in your life when you felt incredibly intelligent! And of course, one time when you felt "not so" intelligent.
One time I felt incredibly intelligent was when in AP English Languge class last year, I quickly formulated an advanced correct response with elevated diction to a hard critical question.
One time I felt not so intelligent was one when I usually get low scores on test, especially ones that are easy.
UNIT 11
PsychSim 5: GET SMART
Name: Period: _ Date: _
This activity will explore the concept of intelligence and some of the methods of measuring intelligence.
Intelligence and Adaptability
What does it mean to say that intelligence is a social construct?
It's a concept humans invented to explain individual differences, and it's not an actual trait such as blood type or height.
What do two children from dramatically different cultures (a boy working on an arrow and a girl working on a computer) have in common?
They exhibit multiple intelligences in different areas/similar areas.
Verbal Versus Nonverbal Abilities
Describe one verbal and one performance subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS).
For verbal: Information-answer general knowledge questions.
For performance:picture completion-identify the missing part of a picture
Multiple Intelligences
Name and describe four of Gardner’s eight “intelligences.”
Intrapersonal-you know youself
Existential-you enjoy exploring things that can't be answered by one answer or taking a philosophical approach
Interpersonal-social, know others
Logic-thinking logically
Match Sternberg’s three “intelligences” with their descriptors:
o _ Analytic A. Problem-solving in everyday tasks
o _ Practical B. Problem-solving in novel tasks
o _ Creative C. Problem-solving in structured, well-defined tasks
Emotional Intelligence
Define “emotional intelligence.”
