AAMC 1 FULL REVIEW- PSYCH/SOC question with complete solution 2023Compared to the simultaneous condition, the serial condition of the experiment would be more likely to cause: A.a primacy effect. B.a state dependency effect. C.a misinformation effect. D.a dual-coding effect. - correct answer The passage states that the SERIAL condition had participants presented with objects one at a time. The SIMULTANEOUS condition had subjects presented with object all at once. A. The primacy effect states that subjects remember objects that are presented first. The primacy effect is specifically talking about order of events. The researchers change the procedure such that instead of placing the objects in a box, the participants have to recall all the objects that they have seen during training. According to the spreading of activation theory, which type of memory error is most likely? A.Making source monitoring errors regarding the location of the training objects B.Poorer memory for the training objects seen at the later points in the experiment C.Selective forgetting of the training objects that were placed in the center of the box D.Recalling objects that were not presented but are from the same category as the training objects - correct answer Spreading activation theory says that when a concept is activated, the activation spreads to concepts that are semantically or associatively related to it. POE: A: source monitoring errors are when the source of memory are incorrectly attributed to some specific recollected experience. EXAMPLE: you are told about a new restaurant from a friend, but later on, you tell another person that you heard about the restaurant form the new. This is putting this memory with the wrong source that it came from. *this does not reflect spreading activation B: this has nothing to do with spreading activation. This has to do with the recency effect. The recency effect suggests that objects are better recalled when they are the last thing a person it told/or shown. (opposite of primacy effect) C: no D. this is spreading activation! The answer choice states that when the subject is shown objects of similar category, it causes the subject to name objects in the same category. It activates one thing, leading to an activation of another The findings described in the passage suggest that memory for locations: A.is comparable to adults by nine years of age. B.is influenced by categorical knowledge. C.becomes more accurate with age. D.relies solely on recall of distances. - correct answer POE: C and D are out because D is strongly worded and C completely goes against the results in the graph (shows that adults have more mistakes). A is wrong because all of the others are different than adults. The kiddos do better than adults. B: CORRECT This would make sense because adults have more knowledge of categories and groupings than youngins! Youngins may get order right because they do not know the category that an object is in. The children from the experiment in the passage participate in a separate study using Piaget's water conservation task. They are shown two identical beakers, containing equal amounts of water. The water from one of the containers is poured into a thinner and taller beaker. Which prediction is most likely to be confirmed? A.All three age groups will state that the water in the taller beaker is greater in quantity. B.The majority of the 11-year-olds will state that the amount of water in the taller beaker is the same as in the original beaker. C.The majority of the 9- and 11-year-olds will state that the amount of water in the taller beaker is greater in quantity. D.The majority of the 7-year-olds will state that the amount of water in the taller beaker is the same as in the original beaker. - correct answer This question is referring to Piaget's concrete observations part of his theory. This is masters at around age 11. It starts at age 7. POE: A: you know this is wrong because ages 7, 9, and 11 are at different stages of development. Also second half says "taller beaker is greater in quantity" indicating that no one in these age groups got this right. B: This is correct. mastering of concrete observations is at age 11ish! C: again, 9 and 11 are v different ages. and it's saying greater in quantity. D: this is the very beginning of the concrete observation period. There is no way mastery occurs this fast! Maintenance Factor 1 is most closely related to which approach to psychological disorders? A.Psychodynamic B.Behaviorist C.Trait D.Humanistic Passage: patients with high interoceptive awareness are likely to associate mild changes in bodily sensations (such as slightly heightened heartbeat) with the panic they experienced during panic attacks; this leads to conditioned fear in response to changes in bodily sensations (Maintenance Factor 1) - correct answer Only answer choice here that deals with conditioning is behaviorist approach. REMEMBER: Behaviorist deals with BOTH classical and operant conditioning!!!!!
