200
Name 2 types of intelligence tests
What are Stanford-Binet, Wechsler’s intelligence tests, Raven’s Matrices, Tests of specific abilities: Paper folding, mental rotation, hidden figures?
300
Studies of color naming were used to test the idea that ________ determines ______, otherwise known as the ______ hypothesis, which supports the strong interpretation of linguistic relativity/determinism.
What is language, thoughts and behavior, Sapir-Whorf hypothesis?
300
Name 4 differences between experts and novices. Also name an instance where experts may be at a disadvantage compared to novices.
Experts tend to have rich, organized schemas, spend more time on representation of problem, use less means-end analysis, and move forward, not backward. Also, the chess study showed rich, organized schemas may hinder memory for random chess configurations.
300
Bayes’ theorem consists of these 3 parts
What is the probability of: 1) current evidence if hypothesis is true [p(E/H)], 2) current evidence if hypothesis is false [p(E/not H)] 3) hypothesis independent of current evidence [base rate or p(H)]

While waiting for your bus to arrive, you go into a convenient store to buy a pack of gum. Knowing that you don't have a lot of time, you quickly grab the first pack of gum that exceeds your expectations. This heuristic can explain your reasoning.

What are frequencies compared to probabilities?
500
g matters more in a _______ population, while multiple intelligences matter more in a _________ population.
What is general population and a narrow population (i.e. high IQ only)?
