2. Which of these is not a necessary criteria to model human disorders?

1. Treatments that ameliorate symptoms in humans ought to do so in the animal model
2. Treatments that are ineffective in humans should be ineffective in animals
3. Manipulations that promote symptoms in humans should also do so in the animal model
4. The genomes should be congruent in both species
5. The mechanisms responsible for a disorder ought to be the same in both species

3. Which of these, from a reported study, may lead to a failure in replicating research findings?

1. The researchers selectively reported the most positive findings
2. The researchers used a large number of animals
3. The researchers controlled for important variables
4. The researchers used a longitudinal study design
5. The researchers were assessing for mediators

4. A study in which participants are randomly assigned to groups in which one receives an experimental treatment, and the second is similarly treated, but is given a placebo, is referred to as?

1. Randomized concurrents trial
2. Randomly conducted treatment
3. Randomized control trial
4. Randomly conducted trial
5. None of the above

5. What is an open label trial?

3. A study in which only the clinicians know what was administered
4. A study in which both the participants and the clinicians know what was administered
5. A malpractice court proceeding that is open to the public

6. In a quasi-experimental design, how are participants assigned to groups?

1. Participants are randomly assigned
2. Participants decide which experimental group to take part in
3. A confederate chooses which group the participants will belong to
4. Participants aren’t randomly assigned

7. A study in which past experiences are recorded based on individual recall or in response to specific questions is often referred to as?

1. Longitudinal
2. Archival
3. Historical
4. Prospective
5. Retrospective

8. What is a possible consequence of running a study with a small sample size, and therefore low power?

1. The results may not be reliable
2. The results will certainly not be significant
3. The study will not get published
4. There will be a higher rate of attrition
5. The results will likely not be valid

9. If one variable (e.g., food intake) was found to be elevated in a group of individuals, and subsequently a second variable (e.g., frequency of obesity) was also found to be high, what kind of relationship between these two variables would you likely conclude there to be?

1. Mediation
2. Moderation
3. Moderated mediation
4. Causal
5. *Correlational

10. What type of analysis is used to determine whether variables as a group might be more predictive of an outcome than simply knowing about a single variable?

1. Grouped analysis
2. Normative analysis
