PSYC 1111 FINAL EXAM STUDY GUIDE 2026: 300 MOST-TESTED QUESTIONS
AND 100% VERIFIED ANSWERS | GRADED A+ | GUARANTEED PASS!!
1.Critical Thinking ANS: Thinking that does not blindly accept arguments and
conclusions.
2.History ANS:
3.Theory ANS: an explanation using an integrated set of principles that organizes and
predicts behaviors or event
4.Hypothesis ANS: A testable prediction, often implied by a theory
5.operational definition ANS: a carefully worded statement of the exact procedures used
in a research study
6. Case Study ANS: a descriptive technique in which one individual or group is studied in
depth in the hope of revealing universal principles
7. Naturalistic Observations ANS: a descriptive technique of observing and recording
behavior in naturally occurring situations without trying to manipulate and control
the situation -----
Describes Behavior not explains it
8. Positive Correlation ANS: A correlation where as one variable increases, the other
also increases, or as one decreases so does the other. Both variables move in the
same direction. -----
Above 0 to +1.00
Indicates a DIRECT relationship, Increase/Decrease Together
,9. Negative Correlation ANS: as one variable increases, the other decreases
-----
Below 0 to -1.00
Indicates an INVERSE relationship, when one increases, the other decreases
10. Correlation ANS: A measure of the relationship between two variables
-----
Indicates the possibility of cause-effect relationship but does not prove such.
--
Correlation does not prove causation
11. Descriptive Research ANS: Purpose:
- To observe and record behavior
How Conducted:
- Do case studies, naturalistic observations, surveys What is Manipulated:
- Nothing
Weaknesses:
- No control variables; single cases may be misleading
12. Correlational Research ANS: Purpose:
- To detect naturally occurring relationships; to assess how well one variable predicts
another
How Conducted:
, .
- Collect data on two or more variables; no manipulation
What is
Manipulated: -
Nothing
Weaknesses:
- Cannot specify cause and effect
13. Experimental Research ANS: Purpose:
- To explore cause and effect
How Conducted:
- Manipulate one or more factors; use random assignment
What is Manipulated:
- The independent variable(s)
Weaknesses:
- Sometimes not feasible; results may not generalize to other contexts; not ethical to
manipulate certain variables
14. Biological Psychologists ANS: study links between biological activity and
psychological events
15. Neurons ANS: nerve cells
16. Dendrites ANS: receive messages from other cells
17. Axon ANS: passes messages away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or
glands
, 18. Myelin Sheath ANS: covers the axon of some neurons and helps speed neural
impulses
19. Neural Impulse ANS: action potential, electrical signal traveling down the axon
20. Cell body ANS: the cell's life support center
21 Terminal Branches of Axon ANS: form junctions with other cells
22 Glial Cells (Glue Cells) ANS: - Support nerve cells
- Provide nutrients and insulate myelin, guide neural connections, and clean up after
neurons send messages to one another.
23. Brain ActivityANS: thousands of a second
24. Threshold ANS: the level of stimulation required to trigger a neural impulse
25. Synapse ANS: A junction where information is transmitted from one neuron to the
next.
- The meeting point between neurons
26. Neurotransmitters ANS: chemical messengers that cross the synaptic gaps
between neurons. When released by the sending neuron, neurotransmitters travel
across the synapse and bind to receptor sites on the receiving neuron, thereby
influencing whether that neuron will generate a neural impulse.
