QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GUARANTEED
TO PASS PRACTICE SOLUTION
●● correlation coefficient formula
Answer: -1 = negative correlation
0 = no correlation
+1 = positive correlation
●● naturalistic observation
Answer: Most reflective of real life, least controlled, lengthy, expensive,
less casual statements.
●● Experimental observation
Answer: Well-controlled, more casual statements, less reflective of real
life, random sampling and assignments.
●● Quasi-experimental observation
Answer: Experimental observation without the random assignments.
●● Nueron Anatomy
Answer: Dendrites = input
, Soma = core
Axon Hillock = base to axon
Axon = Carrier
Myelin Sheath = increase efficiency, insulates
Axon Terminal = output
●● Action Potential
Answer: +70 = max
-50 = threshold
-70 = low
Depolarization = positive ions out
Repolarization = positive ions in
Hyperpolarization = prevents too fast firing

serotonin, dopamine
