    1. Which is the BEST description of a typical short-term memory? fairly brief duration (seconds) and small capacity (seven or so items) fairly long duration (minutes) and small capacity (seven or so items) fairly brief duration (seconds) and large capacity (seventy or so items) fairly long duration (minutes) and large capacity (seventy or so items)

    2. Haynes, Rovee-Collier (1997) research on infant memory that involved recording kicking behavior when a ribbon was tied to the infant's foot demonstrated that young children have ____ memory. repressed implicit recall elaborative

    3. If short-term memory capacity is "domain specific" then all children should have the same short-term memory capacity size. the more you know about something the larger short-term memory capacity size will be for related items. it is solely determined by biological factors, not experience. it cannot be impacted by the size of working memory.

    4. Jack knows that he can more easily memorize and recall a list of ten familiar words than he can ten unfamiliar words. This knowledge provides an excellent example of short-term memory. chunking. recall memory. metamemory.

    5. The Chi study on memory for chess pieces indicated that when recalling information in their area of expertise, expert children perform better than novice adults. the same as novice adults. worse than novice adults. the same as children who are novices.

    6. A gene is made of hormones and neurotransmitters. can also be referred to as an ova. when combined with a second gene will produce a chromosome. provides instructions for the production of amino acids.

    7. A sperm cell and an ovum each contribute 23, rather than 46, chromosomes to a zygote because they were produced through the process of meiosis. were produced through the process of mitosis. have undergone the process of crossing over. have undergone the process of canalization.

    8. In order to produce fraternal twins you MUST have two X chromosomes. sperm. Y chromosomes. recessive genes.

    9. Jack desperately wants to have a son. He and his wife already have three children, all girls. Jack divorces his wife and remarries. He expects that his new wife will be more successful in providing him with a son. Which of the following is TRUE? Jack's chances of having a son are better with his new wife. Jack's chances of having a son are worse with his new wife. Jack's chances of having a son are not changed by a change in wife. Jack will be unable to have a son no matter how many children he fathers.

    10. Which is the best example of a genotype? blue eyes high IQ your general personality traits (e.g., being shy or aggressive) the genes on your X chromosome

    11. A human trait is influenced by a single pair of genes with "M" representing the dominant gene and "m" representing the recessive gene. Richard (genotype Mm) and Dorothy (genotype mm) decide to have children. According to the principles of Mendelian heredity, what percentage of their children would exhibit the trait? 0 25 50 75

    12. Chucky's parents both have "shy" genes that make them uncomfortable in social situations. As a result they seldom have people over and when they do they act very nervous. Which sort of genetic/environmental is BEST illustrated in this example? active genotype/environment evocative genotype/environment passive genotype/environment negative genotype/environment

    13. Which is the most genetically complex structure? a gene a chromosome a zygote a sperm

    14. A wave of light proceeds through to the back of the eye where it encounters and stimulates a receptor neuron. What process has taken place? perception thinking cognition sensation

    15. Which of the following is the best example of a perceptual process? hearing a sound in the room detecting that a light has been turned on in a dark room sensing that someone has touched your arm realizing that the odor you smell is vanilla

    16. Dr. Violet is interested in how young children perceive color. In her study Dr. Violet simultaneously shows young children two blobs of different color and measures the amount of time they focus on each blob. Dr. Violet's technique is knows a(n) ____ task. habituation preferential looking evoked potentials operant conditioning

    17. Which child has acquired perceptual size constancy? Raven, who looks out a window on a plane and says, "those people on the ground look like ants but they are really big people." Robin, who knows that she will get bigger when she is older. Jay, who can perceive the difference in size between a 1-story building and a 10-story building. Loon, who uses Lego building blocks to create a tower that is taller than he is.

    18. The advantage of being born with the ability to categorize sounds phonetically is that it prevents children from making phonetic errors in speaking. biologically prepares a child to speak all human languages. ensures that people speak the same language. allows for ease of second language acquisition in later adulthood.
