Test Bank
Chapter 1
In this revision of the test bank, I have updated all of the questions to reflect changes in
Cultural Anthropology, 4e. There is also a new system for identifying the difficulty of the
questions. In earlier editions, the questions were tagged in one of three ways: factual
(recall of factual material), conceptual (understanding key concepts), and applied
(application of sociological knowledge to a situation). In this revision, the questions are
now tagged according to the six levels of learning that help organize the text. Think of
these six levels as moving from lower-level to higher-level cognitive reasoning. The six
levels are:
REMEMBER: a question involving recall of key terms or factual material
ST
UNDERSTAND: a question testing comprehension of more complex ideas
APPLY: a question applying anthropological knowledge to some new situation
ANALYZE: a question requiring identifying elements of an argument and their
interrelationship
EVALUATE: a question requiring critical assessment
CREATE: a question requiring the generation of new ideas
U
The ninety questions in this chapter’s test bank are divided into two types of questions.
Multiple-choice questions span a broad range of skills (over a third are “Remember”
D
questions and the remainder are divided among four higher levels). Essay questions are
the most demanding because they include the four highest levels of cognitive reasoning
(from “Apply” to “Create”) as well as lower levels.
