Pg 167 Part D Q 21. JP Das model of intelligence involves the Interdependent functioning of three neurological systems . Discuss. PASS model was developed by J.P. Das, Jack Naglieri and Kirby in 1994. According to this model, intellectual activity involves the interdependent functioning of three neurological systems, called the functional units of the brain. These units are responsible for arousal/attention, simultaneous and successive processing and planning. Arousal/attention Simultaneous processing Successive processing Planning Explanation of each. Pg 9 Q 22. What is the role of nature and nurture in the development of intelligence? There is a general consensus among psychologists that intelligence is a product of complex interaction of heredity (nature) and environment (nurture). Heredity can be viewed as something that sets a range within which an individual s development is actually shaped by the support and opportunities of the environment. Studies have also shown correlation between intelligence of identical twins reared together(.90) , identical twins reared apart (.72)fraternal twins reared together (.60) and siblings reared together (.50)and sibling reared apart (.25). With respect to the role of environment, studies have reported that as children grow in age, their intelligence level tends to move closer to their adoptive parents. Children from disadvantaged homes adopted into families of higher socio-economic status exhibit a large increase in their intelligence scores. There is evidence that environmental deprivation lowers intelligence while rich nutrition, good family background and quality schooling increases intelligence. Intelligence is a product of heredity and environment. Pg 10 Q 23. Anita regularly abstains from food for religious reasons. Which aspect of the self is she displaying?

Rishabh , a 21 year old college student, exhibits an intense fear of fireworks, gunshots, popping balloons etc . Suggest the most appropriate therapy that could be used to help Rishabh overcome his fear. Behaviour therapies postulate that psychological distress arises because of faulty behaviour patterns or thought patterns. Systematic desensitization is a behavior therapy technique. Systematic desensitization is a technique introduced by Wolpe for treating phobias or irrational fears. The client is interviewed to elicit fear-provoking situations and together with the client, the therapist prepares a hierarchy of anxiety-provoking stimuli with the least anxiety-provoking stimuli at the bottom of the hierarchy. The therapist relaxes the client and asks the client to think about the least anxiety- provoking situation. The client is asked to stop thinking of the fearful situation if the slightest tension is felt. Over sessions, the client is able to imagine more severe fear provoking situations while maintaining the relaxation. The client gets systematically desensitized to the fear. It works on the principle of reciprocal inhibition. Explanation with reference to given example. Pg 98 Q 26. Performance on specific tasks is influenced by the mere presence of others . Support this statement with the help of research done in the field of social facilitation. It was observed that individuals show better performance in the presence of others, than when they are performing the same task alone. For instance, cyclists racing with each other perform well than when they cycle alone. Better performance in the presence of others is because the person experiences arousal, which makes the person react in a more intense manner. The arousal is because the person feels she or he is being evaluated called evaluation apprehension. The nature of the task to be performed also affects the performance in the presence of others. If the others present are also performing the same task, this is called a situation of co-action. In this situation, there is social comparison and competition. In short, task performance can be facilitated and improved, or inhibited and worsened by the presence of others. Pg123 Part E Q 27. What are somatoform disorders? Elaborate on the different types. Somatoform disorders are conditions in which there are physical symptoms in the absence of physical disease. The individual has psychological difficulties and complains of physical symptoms for which there are no biological cause.

The Types are: Dissociative amnesia: Dissociative fugue:. Dissociative identity disorder: Depersonalization: Detailed explanation of the above. (2+4)Pg 78-79 Q 28. Why do people join groups? Discuss. People join groups because these groups satisfy a range of needs. The main reasons for the people to join groups are as follows:a) Security: b) Status: c) d) e) f) Self-esteem: Satisfaction of one s psychological and social needs: Goal achievement: Provide knowledge and information: Detailed explanation of the above. (1x6)Pg 132 OR Differentiate between group think and group polarization. Why does group polarization occur? Groupthink is characterized by the appearance of consensus or unanimous agreement within a group. Each members believes that all members agree upon a particular decision or a policy .No one expresses dissenting opinion because each person here believes that it would undermine the cohesion of the group and he/she would become unpopular. Group polarization states that the decisions taken by the groups are more extreme that what taken by individuals . (Explain concepts with the help of examples). Group polarization basically occurs due to three basic reasons. 1)in the company of likeminded people, more argument s are more likely to hear newer arguments favoring each ones viewpoints. 2) When others are found to favor a particular view point, you feel that this view is validated by the public. This is a sort of bandwagon effect. 3) When you find people having similar views, you likely to perceive them as in-group. You start identifying with the group, begin showing conformity, and as a result your views become strengthened. Detailed explanation of the above. (11/2 + 11/2 +1+1+1)
