43) Which of the following IS true about performance on intelligence tests:

Some people point to the US current account deficit. But most people do not understand. You have been asked to develop an essay explaining IF current account deficits are actually bad. In your answer, be sure you FULLY explain:  what the CURRENT account captures, what it means to have a current account deficit and what is likely causing it, the current account’s role in the balance of payments, how the current accounts connect to trade, AND the connection between the current account and the CAPITAL account…both how and why are they related. Make sure that you actually ANSWER the question that was asked. Expected length is about 500 words with good content. If you have more to say, then say it. If you are far below this length, then you have not likely answered all parts of the question thoroughly. Make sure you are thorough and detailed, illustrating an understanding of these concepts.  You will be judged on the depth, accuracy, and persuasiveness of your explanation.  *This is a bit open-ended and you need to put some structure in place. **Do no waste time restating question. Focus on body paragraphs of an essay.  ***Note that a few sentences is not sufficient to answer this question and will not earn you an acceptable score. Note the length expectations communicated.  ****Be detailed and be thorough. Use examples to illustrate your logic and points.  *****Content is the most important contributor to your grade. But writing quality counts too. I do not expect perfection from a timed essay. But I do expect that your work is proofread and major grammar errors and spelling errors are addressed.  SPEND A FEW MINUTES EDITING YOUR WORK BEFORE SUBMITTING.  

70) Malik is a participant in a dichotic listening experiment.  He is asked to repeat back only the speech being played in his left ear and ignore the speech in his right ear.  In the first trial of the experiment, the following sentences are played:   Left ear: “A man drives a green car into town and then goes into the grocery store.”  Right ear: “The child plays with two friends before returning home and eating dinner.”   Neither of the two sentences contains any words or phrases that would be particularly meaningful to Malik.  Malik repeats back the sentence played in his left ear perfectly.  When he’s asked what he remembers from his right ear, he reports that he doesn’t recall anything that was played in his right ear.  Malik’s behavior in the first trial of the experiment is consistent with what model or models of attention?  

39)  Four pieces of paper are being illuminated by different strength spotlights.  Anna is measuring both the strength of the light that is hitting the pieces of paper and the amount of light that the pieces of paper are reflecting. She finds the following:     Paper #1: Being hit by 1000 units of light, reflecting 10 units of light Paper #2: Being hit by 500 units of light, reflecting 10 units of light Paper #3: Being hit by 100 units of light, reflecting 10 units of light Paper #4: Being hit by 20 units of light, reflecting 10 units of light   Given these values, ___________ will be perceived as being the brightest/whitest, while _________ will be perceived as being the dimmest/darkest.   

59-60) Use the text below to answer questions 59-60 Brian is a 5-year old boy sitting with his grandmother who just had a stroke.  Brian is showing his grandmother a picture of his family that he just drew (see image below).  Brian’s grandmother says, “Brian, did you forget to put your sister Kelly in the drawing?” Brian responds by saying, “No grandma. Kelly is next to dad.” (Brian points to the part of the drawing where Kelly is on the left side of the page).    Brian’s grandmother responds by saying, “Oh my.  How did I not notice her over there?”  59) Brian’s grandmother’s behavior is most consistent with what disorder or syndrome?

46)  Alex and James are identical 19-year-old twins.  Both Alex and James are signed up to complete a research survey on Monday afternoon. On Monday morning, Alex was looking through social media and he saw that three friends of his from college were involved in a serious car accident.  James wasn’t friends with any of the individuals and so didn’t see or hear anything about the accident.  When Alex and James arrive to complete the research survey, one of the questions asks, “Please estimate how likely you are to be involved in a serious car accident.”  Alex answers 1 in 20 James answers 1 in 1000 Based only on the information above, the difference in James and Alex’s responses to the question is MOST consistent with what decision-making issue?       

41)  Which of the following would be a “nature” factor associated with measured intelligence?

18)  Naomi and Camina are moving out of their college apartment and are trying to figure out what to keep, what to donate, and what to throw away.  They open up a drawer that hadn’t been opened for at least two years and see several keyrings.  Naomi pulls out a University of Wisconsin keyring and shows it to Camina.  Camina says, “I don’t even know where that came from. Maybe it came with the apartment.  We should just throw it away. I don’t think anyone would want that.”  They go through several more keyrings until they come to one that looks almost identical to the first University of Wisconsin keyring they had seen in the drawer.  Camina says, “Oh you know what? That one is mine. I got it sophomore year. I’m going to keep that.”  The fact that Camina felt the keyring that didn’t belong to her had no value (i.e., was garbage), but that the keyring that did belong to her was worth keeping is most consistent with what decision-making issue?      

6)  Chrisjen and Roberta went to a concert at a new venue in their town.  As the concert ended, Chrisjen thought to herself that this new venue was way nicer than the previous venue in their town. She couldn’t think of a single thing wrong with it.  As they were driving home together, Roberta said, “That venue was nice. But it’s crazy that it already stinks like stale beer has been spilled all over the floor.”  Two weeks later Chrisjen’s friend Jakob asked her what she thought of the new concert venue.  Chrisjen said, “It’s great. Except the smell sort of bothered me. It already stinks a little bit like stale beer.”   Chrisjen’s altered memory is most consistent with what memory issue?
