Practice Tests Flashcards
Motor movements associated with Huntington are due to what
Deterioration of cells in the globus pallidus
What does increasing alpha from .01 to .05 do
Increases statistical power and probability to making a type I error (false pos.)
Position Analysis Questionnaire
Structured questionnaire that provides information needed to compare worker activities for different jobs
Item Difficulty Index
Goes from 0-1.0 with 0 being a super hard question and 1.0 indicating a super easy question. So to increase difficulty of an exam you add more questions with low item difficulty index scores
Communality scores
Whatever the commonality score is, that’s how much of the variability in scores is explained by the identified factors.
Heritability of schizophrenia for twins
The frequency of offspring if nonaffected twins is similar to frequency of affected twin offspring developing schizophrenia, and both values are greater than the frequency in the general population.
Oregon social learning center
Created intervention for aggressive, antisocial behavior in children and it focuses on teaching parents effective parenting strategies
Identifying behavioral anchors for behaviorally anchored rating scales
You would use a critical incident technique to do this.
Behavioral anchors are descriptions of specific job behaviors that represent good, average, poor performance.
Strong Interest Inventory
Provides scores on Holland’s six occupational themes: realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, conventional
Getting high reliability during test development
Longer tests tend to be more reliable, and reliability coefficients are higher when possible scores obtained are unrestricted (i.e., when samples are heterogenous)
Comparable worth
For people who perform different jobs with similar skills and responsibilities should be paid equally. Important in wage gap issued.
Emotion development
Embarrassment, envy, empathy develop 18-24mths; shame, guilt, pride develop 30-36mths
Primary prevention
An intervention targeted at people who don’t have a certain issue yet to intervene before they develop such an issue/condition
Predictor beta weight
The beta weight represents the strength of the relationship between the predictor and the criterion. The value of the beta weight suggests the strength of the relationship (negative value is negative rx and vice versa)
Conceptualization in Stress Inoculation training
Conceptualization is the first stage and it is when the therapist helps the patient realize their performance failures are due to skill deficits.
Contralateral neglect and strokes
Most indicative of damage to parietal lobe
Latent Inhibition
In the context of classical conditioning. This is when pre exposure to an intended conditioned stimulus alone multiple times before the conditioning starts decreases the likelihood it will become a conditioned stimulus. The ore exposure inhibits the association process.
Informational influence v. Normative influence
Informational influence is more powerful when the task is ambiguous and difficult.
Interns struggling with internship rotation
If it’s time limited or specific to a certain population and it’s due to family or personal things you can reassign. Even though the intern should likely seek therapy you should reassign them because of the situation.
Divorce and remarriage outcomes
The outcomes are worst for kids when the parent remarries during the kids early adolescence.
Howard et. al. And the “dose effect”
They found that 50% of patients had improvement by the 8-13th session, 75% of patients in therapy showed improvement by the 26th session, and 85% by the 52nd
Job burnout characteristics
Depersonalization and cynicism, sense of inefficacy, exhaustion
Elaborative rehearsal
Best way to get stuff from short to long term. Includes recalling things and adding personalized or more detailed info in order to remember it
Holland’s self directed search questionnaire
High scores on realistic scale = you prefer to work with things than people
High scores on enterprising scale = you like to lead and persuade people
High scores on conventional scale = you like to do work that has set procedures and rules
High scores on investigative scale = you like to work with ideas and solve problems
