  9. Practice Exam 9Criterion ratings; no numeric examination marks · 7 available questions · 3 sections

    • Schema filtering; test-cultural demands; psychodynamic interpretation
  10. Practice Exam 10Criterion ratings; no numeric examination marks · 7 available questions · 3 sections
    • An aversive event conditions fear and two-factor learning maintains avoidance

  11. Practice Exam 11Criterion ratings; no numeric examination marks · 7 available questions · 3 sections

    • Different dual tasks test subsystems and a remembered event combines meanings

    • Interactionist gender evidence; reaction range; locus of control
  12. Practice Exam 12Criterion ratings; no numeric examination marks · 7 available questions · 3 sections
    • A conditioned response discriminates stimuli and fixed-ratio pauses are interpreted

    • Kohlberg and Bem comparison; Flynn-effect boundaries; Cattell factor analysis
  13. Practice Exam 13Criterion ratings; no numeric examination marks · 7 available questions · 3 sections
    • Reinforcement is defined through measured change and cue-only trials weaken fear
