EPPP Practice Exam (Latest
Updates) Questions and Answers {Grade
A} 100% Correct (Verified Answers)
Bronfenbrenner's ecological model - correct answer -microsystem: immediate
environment, face-to-face rx
(rx w/ parents, siblings, school, neighbors, etc)
-mesosystem: interactions btwn components of microsystem (influence of family on bx
at school)
-exosystem: broader environ that affects child's environ
(parents' workplace, school board, community, media)
-macrosystem: overarching environ influences
(cultural beliefs/practice, econ conditions, political ideologies)
-chronosystem: environ events over lifetime that impact them (immediate and LT
effects of change in family structure/ SES)
Item characteristic curve - correct answer curve developed in Item Response Theory
to represent the probability of getting an item correct based on test-taker
,characteristics; the slope of the curve is representative of how well the item
differentiates/discriminates test-takers on the measured characteristic; position of the
curve (left vs right) is representative of the item difficulty, and the Y-intercept is the
probability of answering the item correctly just by guessing (answer A).
Self-verification theory - correct answer a theory that people want others to perceive
them as they perceive themselves, regardless of whether they see themselves in a
positive or negative light; holds that people strive for stable, subjectively accurate
beliefs about the self because such beliefs give them a sense of coherence.
Item response theory - correct answer a mathematical approach to choosing test
items in which the probability of a positive response to an item is determined by the
person's estimated position on the underlying trait being measured, as well as by
characteristics of the item
-theoretical basis of computer adaptive assessment, in which tests tailored to the
examinee's ability level are computer generated
,Overall, more reliable estimate of ability is obtained using shorter test with fewer
items
- you need a bank of items that have been systematically evaluated for level of
difficulty
-invariance of item parameters, holds that the characteristics of items should be the
same for all theoretically equivalent groups of subjects chosen from the same
population. Thus, any culture-free test should demonstrate such invariance; i.e., a set
of items shouldn't have a different set of characteristics for minority and non-minority
subgroups. For this reason, item response theory has been applied to the development
of culture-free tests
-research supports the notion that the assumptions of item response theory only hold
true for very large samples
-
Dexedrine - correct answer an isomer of amphetamine (trade name Dexedrine) used
as a central nervous system stimulant, used in treatment of ADHD
Dolophine - correct answer used in treatment of heroin addiction
, Depakote - correct answer mood stabilizer, used in treatment of biploar disorder
Tegretol - correct answer Mood Stabilizer, treatment of bipolar disorder
Relationship of fluid and crystallized intelligence - correct answer Cattell and Horn
distinguish between fluid and crystallized intelligence. The former is independent of
specific instruction and is relatively culture free, while the latter depends on exposure
to education and is affected by cultural experiences. Cattell and Horn believed that
these two aspects of intelligence are highly correlated and that crystallized
intelligence develops through the use of fluid intelligence.
Treatment of borderline personality disorder - correct answer psychological and
biological treatment methods; antidepressants (SSRI) and mood stabilizing
medications; dialectal behavior therapy: (cognitive and behavioral therapy) goal is to
accept negative affect without engaging in self-destructive behaviors, problem-
focused treatment, combines individual and group components
