Last Minute Questions

[honey-corowa]

I've been going through my TSFX booklet from a winter school lecture i went to in the holidays, and I have discovered there are still a lot of questions I don't know how to answer, so who would like to be a doll and help me out 

Others feel free to post your questions and hopefully there will be some quick-ish responses

1. List three negative psychological effects of prolonged arousal.
2. Describe the DSM-IV-TR multi-axial system of classification.
3. List three reasons why clinicians and researchers have classification systems.
4. Define the psychodynamic approach versus the behavioural approach.

1- Difficulties concentrating
     Impaired memory
    impaired decision making, thinking clearly etc

2- Diagnosis of an individual in made in relation to 5 different axes, (list all axes). They provide comprehensive and useful information such as factors to take into account when planing treatment

3- I would just look at the advantages categorical approaches to classifying mental disorders eg user friendly, increase growth of expert knowledge, devise treatment management plan etc

4- Psychodynamic model propose that all mental disorders the results of unresolved psychological conflicts that occur beneath the ordinary level of conscious awareness. whereas. Behavioural model proposes that phobias are acquired, maintained and modified through environmental consequences such as reward and punishment.

Hope these helpp

Thank you heaps Oliver!

Question 23
The stages in the process of ‘developmental plasticity’ include
A. preparation, incubation and verification.
B. attention, reproduction and motivation.
C. migration, pruning and myelination.
D. pruning, migration and allostasis.

So does this sample question indicate we need to know the stages of developmental plasticity for the exam, even though Grivas didn't bother covering them?

Indeed. I've made sure I've learnt them.

Ok thanks, I'll get onto it then.

I've got a summary here if it saves you the trouble.

1.   Proliferation – process whereby the unborn babies cells that will become neurons divide and multiply creating approximately 250,000 neurons per minute.
2.   Migration – newly formed neurons move outwards to their destined location. The role that the neuron might have is determined by where it is located at its time of formation.
3.   Circuit formation – occurs when axons of new neurons grow out to target cells and form synapses with them. This process of forming new synapses is called synaptogenesis. E.g.: axons for motor neurons grow to the spinal cord and make synaptic connections with other neurons here.
4.    Circuit/Synaptic pruning – involves the elimination of excess neurons and synapses. Those that do not have a connection with a target cell die.
5.   Myelination – A process whereby the axons of the neurons in the childs brain become covered in myelin. This is the final stage that needs to happen for the brain to be fully mature.

Yep one of Grivas's few faults!

[Genericname2365]

Would this be an acceptable definition for the fight-flight response? 
"An automatically occurring intense physiological response that is activated by the sympathetic nervous system in response to a threat or stressor, that allows an individual to quickly confront or flee from the stressor"

What do we suppose to cover in Bandura's experiments? There are 3!

Well I know for sure that we need to know the main findings from each (it usually comes up in MC or sometimes even SA)
But do we need to also know the aims and hypotheses of each??

I'm not going to bother with that.

Ok, if that comes up in extended, I'll find you, Felicity!

Yeah it sound alright i use this one though

An involuntary reaction resulting in a state of physiological readiness to deal with a sudden/immediate threat by either confronting (fight) it or running away (flight).

Both are right. I use this one as well. ^
