1 FRQ grading and Abnormal and treatment review

2 Point 1 & 2 RECOGNITION Point 1, Definition: a measure of memory in which the person need only identify items previously learned, for example as on a multiple-choice test Point 2, Applied: Students should explain that the College Board decided to use multiple-choice questions, that depend on recognition, because it's important for students to be able to recognize the correct answer from the five options on each multiple-choice question. Students can also discuss content validity related to this point: Because they chose to use multiple-choice questions that depend on recognition, the College Board decided that part of the definition of “knowledge of psychological concepts” involves being able to recognize the correct answer from a series of options.

3 Point 2 & 4 RECALL Point 3, Definition: A measure of memory in which the person must retrieve information learned earlier, as on a fill-in-the-blank test. Point 4, Applied: Students should explain that the College Board decided to use free response essay questions that depend on recall, because students also need to be able to remember and demonstrate knowledge of some psychological concepts without “cues” or options. Students can also discuss content validity related to this point: Because they chose to use free response essay questions that depend on recall, the College Board decided that part of the definition of “knowledge of psychological concepts” involves being able to recall knowledge of psychological concepts well enough to write about them in an essay.

4 Point 5 & 6 STANDARDIZATION
Point 5, Definition: requires, among other things, that the norm, or average score, made by a large group of people, be established Point 6, Applied: Students should explain that the College Board would have needed to test AP exam questions on a representative sample of high school and college psychology students in order to be able to compare scores of test-takers to this standardization group. Students can also discuss predictive validity related to this point: The College Board could use the standardization group of college students to compare high school test scores to college student test scores in order to determine how well high school test scores predict how successful the high school students would be in a college-level course.

5 Point 7 & 8 NORMAL CURVE (BELL SHAPED CURVE):
Point 7, Definition: a bell-shaped curve showing a particular distribution of probability over the values of a random variable. Point 8, Applied: Students should explain that the distribution of composite scores on the AP psychology exam fall approximately along the normal curve, with few students receiving scores at either end of the distribution (scores of 1 and 5) with most scores falling in the middle (scores of 2, 3, or 4).

6 Point 9 & 10 RELIABILITY Point 9, Definition: giving the same test to the same group of people on two different occasions and then comparing the two sets of scores Point 10, Applied: Students should explain that scores on the AP test need to be proven to be reliable, so the College Board most likely tested reliability through either the test-retest method (administering the test more than once to the standardization group) or the split-half method (administering half the test items to two different groups and comparing scores).

7 Point 11, 12, 13 & 14 TYPE A vs TYPE B Point 11: Definition of Type A personality: excessive ambition, aggression, competitiveness, drive, impatience, need for control, focus on quantity over quality and unrealistic sense of urgency. It is commonly associated with risk of coronary disease and other stress-related ailments Point 12: Definition of Type B personality:  are noted to live at lower stress levels. They typically work steadily, and may enjoy achievement, although they have a greater tendency to disregard physical or mental stress when they do not achieve. Points 13 and 14 Application: Compare Type A personalities to type B personalities and how they may prepare, feel emotionally and perform as a result of the personality.
