Format and Composition of Exams:
This exam:
Consists of multiple choice, short answer, and brief essay questions
Is worth 100 points
Has a cumulative component
For Exam: Approximately two-thirds of the exam will focus on material from the assigned
readings, lectures, and other classroom materials presented after the second exam.
Approximately one-third of the exam will reflect cumulative material.
Hints and Preparation:
You will never be asked to identify researchers by name (unless explicitly told so in class,
e.g., Bowlby); we will always give some other descriptive phrase in the question to identify
what we are talking about. For example, we would not ask merely what Dodge’s researh
showed, but we ight ask aout Dodge’s researh o soial-cognitive distortions.
Age is important in developmental psychology. Pay attention to the ages of participants in
experiments and results for different age groups.
Lectures and readings combine general descriptions of what children are like at various ages
with descriptions of particular experiments. You should know what methods were used in
these studies (what did the experimenters show their participants, how old were their
participants, and what response did they measure?), the results of the study (what did the
participants do?), and the conclusion drawn from the results (what do the results tell us
about development?). If you can say a sentence of two about these three things, then you
understand the experiment.
In reviewing your reading, pay attention to the chapter summaries provided at the end of
each chapter in the textbook, as well as the abstracts of each assigned reading. These will
help you think about the important issues in each assignment.
