I thought it was a fairly decent exam.
How did you all go?
-
i thought it was pretty good
-
Yeah short answer was pretty straightforward, some MC questions were a bit dodgy, however overall wasn't too bad at all.
I take it the cut off this year is going to be higher than last years.
-
The difference between sensation and perception blew me away!
-
Hmm, I think i picked the choice that said something along the lines perception involves congnition however sensation doesn't, I'm not sure of it's right or wrong...
-

resistance
-
What stage of the GAS did most people write when she contracted the flu?
Stage 2- was during the time she was working without the headaches etc (resistance)
-
sweet :), yeah I wrote resistence as well cause it asked when she "initially" contracted the flu, which would've been during stage 2, i.e. resistence as the adrenal glands secrete cortisol to fight the stressor, however the secretion causes the immune system to be depleted, which then lowers the body's resistence to other infectious illnesses, i.e. the flu.
-
resistance too :)
What does the sympathetic system do in third stage of GAS ?
I had trouble with that one.
And multiple choice, the question about the guy that can say the word 'accident' but unable to verbally express meaningful word what did people put?
Broca's or Wernickes?
-
resistance too :)

I just said like the sympathetic NS will have depleted all of its resources in maintaining resistance to the stressors for an extended period of time and consequently in the exhaustion stage her bodily resources will have been depleted and she would be almost unable to combat stressors further
and I did Wernicke's area, because he could pronounce the word but not give it meaning
-
SympatheticNS role in stage 3 GAS:
because resources depleted can no longer maintain arousal...results in less arousal-->lowered ability to resist stressor
-
I wrote something along the lines, the sympathetic nervous system would've been ineffective, as the body's resources have been depleted (due to secretion of cortisol) and it is unable to fight the stressor, as the body has collapsed mentally and pshyically.
Hmm I picked wernickes cause he was not able to express it in a meaningful way, as when a person a person has wernickes aphasia they are able to produce fluent and articulate speech yet what they say is largely meaningless.
-
fuck, i changed 'resistance' to exhaustion
The more i think about it the more i want to kill myself (not literally dw)
-
resistance too :)

OKay, I considered Broca's first but re-read the question and then I thought Wernicke's makes more sense.
And that's a fail for me with the symphathetic .. I said it continued to release cortisol lol Person must be superhuman +_+
-
Brocas aphasia- not able to product/pronounce, able to comprehend
Wernicke's - able to product/pronounce, not able to comprehend
-
Hmm I found most difficult question was the why CT and PET scans were both used. Started guessing.
-
Hmm I found most difficult question was the why CT and PET scans were both used. Started guessing.
PET - shows functionality, so can see if any function damage
CT - shows strucure, so can see actual tumor or damaged areas
-
how many questions can you get wrong on average in order to get like an A?
fuck man, i'm depresso now lol
-
I think it's because the CT scan which provides structural information of the brain, would've detected if the tumour had been successfully removed or not, and the PET scan which provides functional information of the brain would've detected the functioning of the brain after the removal of the tumour. I wasn't entirely sure..
-
Well the cut off last year for unit 3 for an A+ was 79/90
and for an A was 74/90
-
i did exhaustion for that stage because when she got ill she had already resisted the disease which is how she got over the headaches
and her resources were depleted/immune system weakened. thus she got ill in exhaustion.
some multis really threw me, the short answer was ok
-
Hmm, but I thought she had recovered and then went back to work, so hence she "initially" contracted the flu in resistence.. and then during exhaustion she collapsed mentally and pshyically later on.
-

fuck man, i'm depresso now lol
littlebec u should've got the CT and PET question correct cos' we discussed it on the forum a few days ago!
-
I did boots dw i'm not worried about that question
i'm worried about others ;\
and i'm pissed off that the things i studied for weren't in there. There was basically no brain questions IMO
-
immune system is lowered in resistance too, initially contracted it during resistance (another stressor), it tipped her over the edge into exhaustion
-
what was the answer for the mc question on perception?
i wasn't sure if it was B or C
-
Hmm, but I thought she had recovered and then went back to work, so hence she "initially" contracted the flu in resistence.. and then during exhaustion she collapsed mentally and pshyically later on.
Exactly. I put resistance stage.
If it was exhaustion she wouldn't have the energy to go back to work.
-
My net connections crap, so i'll leave now...
Please post any answers you have (if you wrote them down) and compare them with mine, ill come back tonight or tomoz :)
cya
-
And if anyone has a copy of the exam, could you please please upload upppp :)
-
was visual information processes in just the right occipital lobe or the left and right occipital lobes?
-
left and right
-
yay. :)
-
I can't remember the exact question, cant remember if it asked if the visual information was presented inm the right or left visual field, it was one of em: so if it asked right vidual field then wouldve been processed in the left occipital lobe, however if it asked left visual field then wouldve been presented in the right occipital lobe. Im pretty certain it asked a specifially about one of the viual fields, not eye, hence it wouldn't have been both the left and right occipital lobes.
-
but under the assumption that the person has a corpus callossum, wouldn't the lobes communicate with one another?
it would primarily have been focused in the one lobe, but the exclusivity of the answer "right occipital lobe only" threw me off
-
word from mate who got over 45 in psych last year: they might accept both resistance and exhaustion since technically, there is logic which can support both
-
Hmm truee. Shittt I probably got that one wrong then :(
-
in exhaustion it would have been clear that she had a psychosomatic illness or something
the question said "when she contracted the flu" - which was before the doctor said she was physically depleted - and was IMO pretty clearly not exhaustion but late resistance
flu is linked with resistance
-
It's both lobes guys. The person didn't have a split brain
Using the word 'only' is a cement statement and you have to be really wary of those things.
-

agreed. :)
-
What stage of the GAS did most people write when she contracted the flu?
i got exhaustion and so did others who i know who are pretty good at psych but from what i am reading on here it seems like it is wrong. I even asked a student teacher the questiona after the exam and she said she though it was exhaustion. :/

Hawks- maybe they will have exhaustion and resistance as correct answers
there's a lot of debate.
-
YAY I GOT 1 QUESTION RIGHT WOO
-
Maybe they'd accept both Resistance and Exhaustion. There's been the same case that happened in a past vcaa exam, I dont quite remember which.
-
Anyone got the exam? I'm curious to see how they've changed the study design - can't believe there's no sleep section anymore? Or is there? :P
-
YAY I GOT 1 QUESTION RIGHT WOO
the first multiple choice, was that c(cerebral cortex) or a(frontal lobe)? Everyone who I asked got c including me but someone posted on the first page that it was a. I seem to remenber reading somewhere that 70% of neurons in the the cns are in the cerebral cortex.
-
i swear it was c hawks.
-

There were a few questions on sleep.
Sleep deprived short answer
k complex and sleep spindles were on the MC (right? where we had to determine which stage it occurs in)
-
I hope they accept either, as long as a reasonable logical explanation was accompanied with either resistence/exhaustion. Fingerss Crosseddddd.
-
Maybe they'd accept both Resistance and Exhaustion. There's been the same case that happened in a past vcaa exam, I dont quite remember which.
there was 1 question last year in mc where all answers were right. lol if someone left out that question
-
I love maths meth- the study design hasn't changed.
IMO opinion though, the exam was harder than all the other years
-
No, this year was the last year they were gonna use the study design (2005 - 2010), there is gonna be a new one from next year onwards.
-
i got 44 d!
-
i swear it was c hawks.
i hope so. also what did you guys get for q12 which i think went like this
the sympathetic ns and parasympathetic ns are
a: was wrong
b: cannot work simultaneously
c: have opposite functions but work together
d: was wrong
i got c but was tossing up between B and C. I only went C because appartly first guess is more likely to be right
-
it's C im pretty sure
both of them can work at the same time
-
I got C
-
yay! I got C as welll :)
-
Oh right, there was some rumour that they were changing it.
-

yes i also found that question hard! i think i did C, but neither of them really convinced me
(thought maybe i did B i forgot)
-
what threw me was that i wasnt sure if it meant work together at the same time or work together to help the body function
-
so what did everyone get for the first mc?
A or C?
please say c?
-
mmm it was a very dodgy question!
-
was c, the cerbral cortex? if so i got that :)
I hope it's right..
-
yeah i did C for the first mc
it couldnt be frontal lobe, the frontal lobe doesnt have 3/4 of brain neurons!
-
Oh right, there was some rumour that they were changing it.
What? The study design?
New study design commences next year.
My school the year 11 are using different psych book now.. can't sell my 3/4 book damit
-
was c, the cerbral cortex? if so i got that :)
I hope it's right..
sweet
-
Yeah ive heard also as off next year in the psych exams, the three area of studies arent gonna be separated like in this years and previous years.
Its gonna be all mixed, like bio etc..
-

Don't think it will make much difference .. i mean the questions are so straight forward
-
Oh right, there was some rumour that they were changing it.
There is a change of study design, but they're transitioning it like how they did it for chemistry a few years ago. So this years yr 11 are doing the new study design.
-
mm yeah that's very true lol..
-

Im pretty certain it asked a specifially about one of the viual fields, not eye, hence it wouldn't have been both the left and right occipital lobes.
correct that is what i got. the question was number 3 and the answer i got was c
-
Oh coool, I'm hoping its right, well thats what I thought initially, i.e. it would be processed in one of the occipital lobes only as it was presented in one visual field, not the eye. I went to the psych revision lecture and the chief assessor was there, and he specifically told us "don't look for deep underlying meaning in MC".
-

yer i remember earning about the visual fields etc and thinking " i bet heaps of people stuff it up on the exam" it is confusing
-
Hmm I said exhaustion. She got the flu and then she had to take a week off work so I thought theat that was a key indicator .. ahh I hope they allow both !
also what did people say for the ames room question ? The one about the father shrinking and the peephole?
Hmm I also said A (frontal lobe) for the first multiple choice question, because how are only 75% of the brains neurons in the cerebral cortex? where is the other 25%? The corpus callosum is made of nerve fibres right?
-
Hmm, with the Ames room: It is a distorted trapezium shaped room (which appears to be "normal", i.e. rectangular - when viewed monocularly). The left hand corner (where father was pushed by witch) was double the distance than the right hand corner (witch with children) from the viewer/camera, the retinal image of him moving from the right to left halves in size, as it viewed through a single peep hole which only allows monocular depth cues. Hence, shape constancy is maintained at cost of size constancy. Thus, the father appears to "shrink".
-
the other 25% is below the cerebral cortex... the cerebral cortex is only a few millimetres thick (i should know how many haha :()
how could 75% of the neurons be in the frontal lobe? does that mean 25% is shared between occipital, temporal and parietal?
-
For the gestals principle the first one can the answer be Figure-ground as well?
Because I had proximity in my mind but I could explain the other better.
And the second one I put closure
-

yeah figure ground was applied in both, figure ground is applied in like everything
so yeah it would have been acceptable

wasn't it 70% of neurons in the cns? i cant remember the question but i remember initally thinking frontal lobe then i saw the functioning but when seeing the 70% thinking the cerebral cortex.
the ames room question i though was strange and gave too much detail about the dad and the witch when it was not needed. i wrote somthing about him getting smalller/larger(cant remember which) because he was pushed and then i described the features of the ames room
-

Oh thank god B)
Explaining the circle was tricky because the little circles made up a picture of a circle, bigger circle. I hope I clarified myself in the answer...
-
I did promixity for the first one, and closure for the second :)
-
what the fuck was with the goggles question :\
-
I did promixity for the first one, and closure for the second :)
Still correct ^_^
-
Haha good point about 25% being shared among the occiptial, parietal and temporal. I changed that question in the last minute ... how annoying !!
Do you think you would have to say all those things about the Ames Room to get the full marks?
Because I only said about the distance of the left corner being twice as far away and therefore when we use monocular vision we cant perceive the depth which causes the illusion of him shrinking
I forgot to say anything about the trapeziodal shaped room or shape/size constancy
-

-
Lol lol I know, the goggles question was worded so weirdly! lol just had to relate it back to absolute threshold when it asked for the example.
-
Hmm not sure, depends how many marks the ames room question was worth. I really wish someone could upload the exam!
-
I didnt know the the hell the goggle questions wanted from me O_o
-
what the fuck was with the goggles question :\
that was confusing. from memory i wrote somthing about moving the onject further away to test what the absolute threshold was. cant really remember though
-
Hmm not sure, depends how many marks the ames room question was worth. I really wish someone could upload the exam!
I remember, it was 4 marks.
-
same hong
so bad
-
Maybe, but I do know that it is definitely required to relate it back to the scenario, i.e. the father/witch/children etc. So it wouldn't be sufficient to say that one corner was double the distance of the other, you would have to relate it back to the given situation.
-
i know this was like the simplest question on the whole exam... but what psychological symptoms were of sleep deprivation?
i had a complete mental blank, but did irritability and varied emotional state but i'm not sure if that's a thing?
-
Haha yes that was weird !
I said something like he would inform he researcher of the maximum distance where he could detect the movement, and it would be procedure would be repeated and the researcher would identify the maximum distance at which he could detect the movement 50% of the time.
I had no idea !
-
i know this was like the simplest question on the whole exam... but what psychological symptoms were of sleep deprivation?

I think I put lack of emotions and lack of concentration
-

I'm not sure, I did irratability and impaired memory.
-
what the fuck was with the goggles question :\
that was confusing. from memory i wrote somthing about moving the onject further away to test what the absolute threshold was. cant really remember though
I wrote that the researcher should walk towards the soldier and have the soldier indicate when he can first detect movement. Repeat 10 times and and record the distance at which movement can be detected. The absolute threshold is the minimum (OMG should have said maximum arghhhh) distance at which movement is detected 50% of the time. :S
Also the Ames room, the thing about the peephole. I said it eliminates binocular vision but they were using a camera so it would be monocular vision anyway. I thought maybe it could have been something to do with the position of the peephole meaning the room appears rectangular.
Also, I was getting a lot of D's at one point in MC...
-

Eliminating binocular cues = monocular cues
And yeah thats what I put, that it intensified the illusion (as written in past vcaa exam)

Yeah but it said how does the peephole help with it or whatever. Considering they were using a video camera to film, no matter what they were filming it would be monocular. So I didn't know specifically how the peephole would help. But ohwell i put the thing about binocular vision being eliminated...

i didnt get a mc question as B until 20 or so

What I meant was that by eliminating binocular vision it means that the person can only use monocular vision.
It's basically the same thing :)
-
for the ames room-second part-viewing through a peephole in the centre- i put so that the visual angle is the same for both corners! if the visual angle is the same we perceive the room as being rectangular-which is very impt!
-
there was this question, what X ( i forgot his/her name) would have most difficulty in?
I wrote D - dressing or something? Is that right? :/
-

i also did that - it was the only one that required both sides of the brain to work together i think
-
Yeah I got D for that.
-
apparently its memory-a-according to my teacher! i put d aswell!!!
-
I put A, affects memory.
The others didn't seem right to me so I eliminated them all and chose A
-
apparently its memory-a-according to my teacher! i put d aswell!!!
huh????????
-
apparently its memory-a-according to my teacher! i put d aswell!!!
Ummm I swear I've read something like a split-brain patient may have trouble coordinating body movements somewhere.
-
right answer was definitely dressing i believe. a hard question but from memory the other answers weren't that applicable. no excellent distractors for that particular question i didn't think
-
yeh its a weird qs-maybe they will mark both a and d as correct....
-
apparently its memory-a-according to my teacher! i put d aswell!!!
is your teacher a good credible one or just some crackpot that doesnt know what he/she is talking about?
-

I was wondering the same thing XD
-
i guess when i answered the question i didnt think it through and it as not as obvious as i first thought but the answer has to be d. for example while getting dressed you are analysing info which is common in the left hemisphere. as info can not cross between hemispheres i am not sure how this info would be able to be carried out by the left hand side

Isn't it just like pointing to an identified object by pointing their fingers to it with patients under split-brain surgery?
-
Isn't it just like pointing to an identified object by pointing their fingers to it with patients under split-brain surgery?
i spose so but wouldn't there have to be some coordination in the middle? i am really not sure. it seemed like a straight forward question but now i reckon it is about 50/50 for d ora
-
Is the question really actually on the study design?? It says 'research on intact brains' not split-brain. Also the question about walking into a cinema... was that it takes time for the rods and cones to increase sensitivity??? Dark adaption isn't technically on the study design either....
EDIT:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-brain
This says that coordination is the same, but memory can be affected.... arghhhhh
-
dammnnnnn
-
Yay ^_^ :O
-
Honestly how were we meant to know that???? I was just looking in my textbook and there's nothing about it. Wikipedia says we still have coordination because of other connections between the cerebral hemispheres... and we haven't studied memory yet so I don't actually know how it works yet... *sigh*

You can get the answer from elimination. That's the only way to how I got the answer..
-
I guess but we weren't really taught about the interactions between the cerebral hemispheres in a split-brain patient...

Zoe has developed a bad cough and visits her doctor. In taking Zoe's history the doctor has discovered Zoe has just completed several highly important university exams. Among other things, Zoe's doctor recommends she undertake some form of relationation to reduce her stress levels
Question B) What stage of GAS is Zoe most likely to be experiencing?
Answers accepted: Resistance or Exhaustion
That's the question I was referring to :D
I guess but we weren't really taught about the interactions between the cerebral hemispheres in a split-brain patient...
My teacher went through all the tests on split-brain patients and how the hemispheres interact during the tests. Thank goodness ..
-
yeah the split brain question was very hard and I did spend around 10 mins on it
however I eliminated the obviously wrong answers
i knew coordinating movement was not affected from this thread I made a while back
http://vcenotes.com/forum/index.php/topic,25833.0.html

:(
the exam was shit
-
^ yeah bad
For the first short answer questions on Gestalt principles? did it say we had to relate it back to the picture, cos i forgot to, but im pretty sure it said to identify it and an explanation ?????
-
:(
the exam was shit
Gotta admit wayyy better than Bio :D
-
it actually didnt say relate back to the picture, i picked up on that
-
it asked how the gestalt principle would make a 3D image
-
:(
the exam was shit
same i am pretty p1ssed about the corpus callosum question. it wasnt even on the study design.
i suppose there is some chance that the assesors realize that and remove the question some incy wincy chance atleast
-
it actually didnt say relate back to the picture, i picked up on that
yes it did. it definitely did!!! I remember cause thats the reason I changed by answer from proximity to figure-ground, cause I found figure-ground to be easier to relate it to that picture
-
it asked how the gestalt principle would make a 3D image
no that was the pictorial depth cues question on interposition and linear perspective
-
what does eveyone think they got out of 90? before coming on here I would have said 80's but know i reckon i got heaps less
-
they might also do the coordination one
because the corpus collosum is used to transfer messages across the body
hence . if your using both parts of the body
both the right/left hemispheres are in some way being used
-
yeah sorry that whats i thought you were asking hah
-
maybe 75-85 / 90
-
they might also do the coordination one
because the corpus collosum is used to transfer messages across the body
hence . if your using both parts of the body
both the right/left hemispheres are in some way being used
lets hope so.
there is absolutely no information what-so-ever in any psychology textbook/set of notes/study guide/practise exam/assessors report that links a severed corpus callosum to poor memory functioning
-
ah fkk, i always misread questions
how about the MC question on stressor. was it to a)perceive threat or was it d)activating the GAS i rkn i got like 70 LOL did pretty shitt, thought i did alright though but reading all the discussion ...
-
i said it was any threat but then again i probz got it wrong
i mean
u can have a stressor . and the GAS dosnt have to happen
-
I thought for gestalt principles it did say 'in the image', i swear i highlighted that...
-
i wrote a stressor as anyhing someone percieves as a threat
-
^^ same
-
I wrote stress is perceived as a threat as well :)
What did you guys write for the advantages or disadvantages (cant remember) of the repeated measures design?
-
I wrote stress is perceived as a threat as well :)

wasnt it the matched participants?
-

time consuming
but are you sure it's something perceived as a threat? like my palms were sweaty in the exam but not because i perceived the exam as a threat..
-
I think I wrote pairing participants with similar characteristics is time consuming.
-
i said order effect
in matched participants design you need to do a pretest to determine the pairs
-

I think you did perceive the exam as a psychological threat.
-
for the repeated measures design? it was a multiple choice question I think like late 30's - do you know what im talking about?
Hmm, im not sure i thought the threat answer was the best answer while i was in the exam.

nahhh as an opportunity! that i should try hard in
but nothing "threatening" about it
i just didn't like the word threat
if i have to work 12 hours a day, i don't feel threatened by it, its just a stressor that activates my GAS...
-

the short answer question was on matched participants wasnt it?
-
Yeah I see what you're saying but I think I eliminated all the others... can't really remember.
-
Yeah I see what you're saying but I think I eliminated all the others... can't really remember.
as usual, VCAA manages to come up with questions that have no real answer.
-
yeah the short answer was, but the there was a question on umm repeated measures design i think, and it asked for the disadvantages or something? was on the bottom of the second last page of MC...
-
yeah it was
personally ... i think the psych exam cutoff will be lowered but barely because the examiners will mark it well. look for easy marks
may drop from 88% to ... 85% ? idk
-
How about the PET and CT question?
I said that Ct could be used to indicate whether the tumour had gone due to surgery or whether it reappeared, and then i said PET could be used to indicate areas of high and low neuronal activity when performing cognitive tasks like speaking to see whether their had been damage to their speech
Don't think thats right at all though.
And yeah about the 3D questions....
First I described interpostion (obscuring objects blah blah) and then I said that interposition can be used to show distance between objects and therefore creates the impression of a 3d environment?
Wow loks as though this exam has been a major fail .
-
it was fail.
So many weird questions i've never seen before on any vcaa exams
-

I didn't relate it to the tumour thing at all. Thought about it - but didn't do it :(. Just said CT can show the detailed structure of the brain while PET can show functioning images that CT cannot.
I don't remember anything about 3D... but I do remember something about how it's used in art. So I said stuff like "objects drawn..." blah blah - ohhhh this sucks :(

yeh i wrote smothing like ct is better for structure and pet is better or function
-
Hmm I found most difficult question was the why CT and PET scans were both used. Started guessing.
PET - shows functionality, so can see if any function damage
CT - shows strucure, so can see actual tumor or damaged areas
-
the answer was basicly based on the fact that pet scans dont provide DETAILED images .. only provide basic activity
so the tumor would be detected by the ct scan in a cross sectional image .. then the PET would clarify this and show the areas which are most active and hence aid in the hypothesis of how to remove it
-
me 2 hawks.
-
dont thnik i am going to discuss anymore. everytime i think about a question, i shit myself and think "did I include this" or "i hope I didnt write that". It just worries me. For example in the ct, pet question i am now thinking i hope i didnt write down ct as 3d coz i think i might have for some reason. oh dear god, this is doing my head in
-
ahhh same hawks
it's making me more scared
*leaves forum*
-
For the REM eye movement thing did people put EOG ?
-
'hawks08 ' his class got 5 50's last year for psy-pretty awesome teacher
-
'hawks08 ' his class got 5 50's last year for psy-pretty awesome teacher
yeh now i realize i was wrong. pretty good teacher. what school?
-
For the REM eye movement thing did people put EOG ?
Yep I did, for b) i said increased electrical activity (or high amount) can't remember...
-
Oh i said EEG
then i said irregular low amp high freq beta waves
is that right?
-
^^ Yep that's fine.
-
I wrote EMG, saying little electrical activity of muscles during REM sleep due to 'virtual muscle paralysis'...
-
^^ Yep that's fine.
r u sure because that is not directly measuring eye activity?
-
Ahh the more I analyse every question the more doubtful I get...
-
I'm sure it said eye activity .. if it did then only EOG isn't that right?
Ahhh we need a copy of the exam.
-
^^ Yep that's fine.
r u sure because that is not directly measuring eye activity?
Ohh I actually can't remember now. I thought it said something like name a device that can be used to distinguish between REM and NREM sleep. I did EOG, but I thought it would be possible to do the others as well... can't remember lol.
-
i don't think it said eye activity (but i did EOG anyway so im happy either way!)
-
i hope it didnt say eye activity! cos i picked EEG
but far out i forgot to describe how it is in REM sleep i only said it detects amplifies and records electirical activity of the brain, i totally forgot to talk about the REm and NREM fudge !! reckon ill still get marks ?? :D:D
-
it said .. in relation to rem sleep
how would it be distinguished . all u needed to say for EOG is .. high electrical activity of muscles controlling the eyes
-
i guess not then LOL
this thread makes me depressed !!
I HATE YOU VCAA
-
Did the questions say distinguish REM sleep from NREM sleep? because all i put was 'increased electrical activity' and didn't really describe it further..
-
Haven't read the thread yet, not sure if I should demotivate myself so soon.
However,
wtf is with the MC question distinguishing between sensation and perception.
-
totally forgot, i cant even remember what i wrote
and i dont remember whether it said in relation to REM activity either, i just described it. HOPEFULLY IT DIDNT. i swear they didnt bold the words as much as they use to in the previous years. or was it just me ?lol
-
Hold on, I don't remeber whether they said in relation to eye movements
but i do remember reading 'there are a number of devices used to dinstinguish REM from NREM' or something like that
so im hoping that there was more than one possible answer.. not only EOG
:P
-
Haven't read the thread yet, not sure if I should demotivate myself so soon.
However,
wtf is with the MC question distinguishing between sensation and perception.
I said the one where perception is a cognitive process. But I thought in this study design, there was no distinction between sensation and perception and perception was considered to be the whole visual process.
-
this thread is a massive demotivation lol
I did psychology as my 3/4 last year and got a 39 after screwing up my end of year. Wasn't too happy with my SS, so decided to repeat it lol.
This year I was aiming for 41+ in order for it to be in my top 4. I got an A+ for my midyear last year and a B+ for my end of year but looks like I'm at a worse position this year. Highly doubt I'll get an A+ in this one. Guess I have to pick up my work load in methods and try and get that in my top 4 cause I screwed up this exam :S
Gay
lol

yea thats what I did. the cognition one
-
There was nothing about it relating to eye movements. It could've been any device including EEG, EMG.
Also THANK YOU VN, BECAUSE I WAS TOTALLY PERUSING THE THREAD ON PET SCAN SHOWING FUNCTION LAST NIGHT.
AND THEN IT WAS PART OF THE FIRST QUESTION.
I found that amusing during reading time.
-----
I'm pretty sure I said perception was a cognitive process. I can't remember my reasoning. It was probably something ridiculous that popped up in the midst of my panic
-
I'm very curious to see what will be in the assessor's report...
But it appears many people found it more difficult so don't worry too much!
-
"What is the role of the SNS in the 3rd stage of the GAS" the one about the flu
-
i dunno ~ i've heard people saying it was easy and that it was easier than the previous exams and im like wtf broo?? hopefully it was just them and not like the rest of victoria lol
^ i wrote something body resources being depleted but its in the first couple pages of this thread somewhere
-
My friends said it was pretty easy and i'm doing wayy better than them on SACS
I was like 'am i just being too hard on myself or WTF is going on?!'
LOL
-
Oh also the multiple choice with the parasympathetic ns and the sympathetic ns.
I didn't know if they had opposite effects and work together or if it was impossible for them to both function at the same time.
Pretty sure I chose that they couldn't function at the same time. But it seems like most people chose that they had opposite effects and work together :/ :/
Damn it, I should've just stayed with my first guess and not change my answer.
-
I said opposite effects but work together.. because I don't think one is ever in full control - just dominant... hmmmm
-

Hey guys. Im checking in for the first time in this thread.
Im pretty confident. I dont think I could have hoped for any better.
One thing that got me was the sleep talking. I said (NREM, stage 4). The book says it occurs in both REM and NREM. Thanks for the trick question VCAA faggots.
I also didnt appreciate them playing on the inconsistent use of the terms perception and sensation.
I think I got 41-2/44 for the MC question and 45/46 for the short answer.
-
I said opposite effects but work together.. because I don't think one is ever in full control - just dominant... hmmmm
Ahh, crap. The word 'impossible' should've tipped me off, but nooooo. Dammit.
I said sleep talking occurs both NREM and REM.
-
I laughed out loud @ 'vcaa faggots'
I said 'any stage' coz...um, i remembered lol
-
They work together to keep the body in place.
SNS increases activity of the body (visceral muscles, organs, glands) in times of threat. The parasympathetic reverses the bodily changes made by the SNS and keeps homeostatis, so in a way they do work together. Would anyone agree?
Also, the goggles one, it was 'absolute' and 'differential' in the first two 1-mark questions yeah?
And the example, anyone come up with that LOL?
I wrote 'The soldier with the goggles will stand still, 10 hidden men will be in the bushes, laying. at each signal, one of them (from closest to furthest) will move. -TIME WAS UP, RAN OUTTA TIME LOL, was gonna write - the point at which the soldier detects movement is the absolute threshold
0/2 marks ftl
-
same , sleep talking occurs in both NREM and REM and it was in my free VU lecture notes so if its wrong im blaming VU !!! :D
-
Oh also the multiple choice with the parasympathetic ns and the sympathetic ns.
I didn't know if they had opposite effects and work together or if it was impossible for them to both function at the same time.
I said they each work together but have opposite effects. Whatever that was.
I figured hormones take a while to dissipate so the parasympathetic system take a while to kick into gear. I also didnt like the word 'impossible' in the other answer.

Man, what was the answer for the perception/sensation mc? I spent like 5 minutes trying to figure that out LOL.
Also, sleeptalking would 'likely' occur in NREM. more stages to it, more chance. so i wrote 'NREM'
I reckon above 35 for MC, and above 35 for short.ans , i dont aim high. :P
-
would it be right if you wrote: occurs in all stages of sleep?
-
same , sleep talking occurs in both NREM and REM and it was in my free VU lecture notes so if its wrong im blaming VU !!! :D
LOL I went there too, footscray? :D The lecturer took too long on brain&nervous system.
What's done is done guys, let's just hope for the best! and kill unit 4!
-
would it be right if you wrote: occurs in all stages of sleep?
I don't think so. the question distinctly asked what 'stage' would sleeptalking most likely occur in.
-
with the perception sensation ones
sensation = reception, transduction transmission selection?
and perception: organisation and interpretation
BUTTT WTF our teacher always told us they can't really be seperated
fucking hate vcaa

Wow loks as though this exam has been a major fail .
I thought the question was asking why the CT and PET were used instead of an fMRI, and I said that the patient could have had a pacemaker or metal parts in his body...
Exam was easier than last year's, just hope VCAA don't get too picky with the short answer answers..

lol. that was an easy question IMO. A few friends complained though. I stated the definition of absolute threshold then said they should place targets at a distance where the soldier wearing the goggles can only detect the stimulus half (50%) of the time.
Everyone else came up with these complex fucking missions and shit.

if they dont take 'all stages' imma kill em

I wrote for the sleep talking one 'any stage of sleep'
It's kind of similar to a past question where they asked 'what are the long-term effects of sleep deprivation?' and the answer was 'none' - trick questions :\

I was a bit of smartarse on that question.
I said 'gender' because he was studying a MALE population. Therefore participants had to be matched with another male.

:(
the exam was shit
Gotta admit wayyy better than Bio :D
Agreed. I actually had time to recheck this exam!!
-
I put was Stage 4 NREM aswell. Saw it in an assessors report
LOL everyone at school said I was wrong but now I come on here and my chances of 100% are still alive. I thought id come here and have my chances of a 65% crushed.

Serious? I wrote experience with catching tennis balls
hahaha !
I'm a douche.

read page 135 of the grivas book - says coordinated activities and produce opposite effects.

LOL psych93.
I wrote 'vision', blind dudes can't catch = extraneous variable = affect results = dr pravesh wild

Sleep talking occurs in any stage. I'm 100% sure
-
yea your right
I don't know why the hell my notes say "sleepwalking, sleeptalking and night terrors may occur" under Stage 4 NREM sleep
where did I get that from. It lost me another mark!!
-
Sleep talking occurs in any stage. I'm 100% sure
Thats what grivas textbook says. I think its shit that they can ask a question like that in short answer format.

Can someone tell VN what they wrote describing the sensory stuff and Karen's hand and the coffeee cup being too hot
-
^^ that was soo annoying - 4 marks!!
i said basically sensory receptors from skin send information to brain where it is being perceived as being to hot, brain initiates voluntary movement to put down the glass by sending information that is conveyed to the skeletal muscles
it was more detailed and stuff but yeahh...
-
Can someone tell VN what they wrote describing the sensory stuff and Karen's hand and the coffeee cup being too hot
Pretty much said sensory receptors from her right hand sent affarent neurons to her somatosensory cortex via the spinal cord. This registered the sensation of hot temperature, the motor cortex then sent motor neurons to her right hand via the spinal cord, allowing voluntary movement of the skeletal muscles to put the cup down
-
read page 135 of the grivas book - says coordinated activities and produce opposite effects.
oh geeee I had that answer than I had time, got indecisive and changed my answer...
-
You know for the one with ESB and sensation in the hands... was it something like stimulate areas of the somatosensory cortex with a patient conscious, when the patient reports feeling sensation or no sensation, this shows the location on the cortex????
-
wait isnt experience catching tennis balls right ? i wrote something like taht too :(

Reading this thread, wow I think my mark's gonna be lowered. LOL

Can someone tell VN what they wrote describing the sensory stuff and Karen's hand and the coffeee cup being too hot
One of the MC questions asked about the autonomic system and it said how sensory receptors gather info then sensory nuerons take it to the brain etc. I used that to job mymemory.
I said : sensory receptors receive info from internal and external stimuli [not sure about internal*] (such as karen sensing hot glass) and sensory neurons send info to the CNS via sensory/afferent nerves. The brain processes this info and send motor neurons via efferent nerves to the skeletal muscle for movement. This process coordinated the movement of karen putting teh glass down.

Yea something like that
My answer first defined ESB:
The ESB method involves weak electric currents stimulating specific regions of a brain in order to illicit a response.
Then I got more specific and said 'they'd have to stimulate parts of the somatosensory cortex until the patient illicited a response in there hand...'
much better worded, I can't remember the question so my answer here is shit lol

I wrote something along those lines, a little more detailed answer with correct terminology.
-
I wrote something along those lines, a little more detailed answer with correct terminology. Also mentioned it shows active areas of brain when conducting the particular task.
Wait, how does the esb method show active areas of the brain??? Did you confuse it with the PET scan cause an ESB is a hands on method which involves directly stimulating the brain rather then a picture of a brain coming up on a screen...
-
You know for the one with ESB and sensation in the hands... was it something like stimulate areas of the somatosensory cortex with a patient conscious, when the patient reports feeling sensation or no sensation, this shows the location on the cortex????
I said:
The primary somatosensory cortex of the brain is located in the front of the parietal lobe. This area can be electrically stimulated and when the patient feels sensation in the hands the brain can be mapped.

Yep yep yep - lol I didn't write exactly that (that's probably a bad answer) and I definitely remember writing something about weak electrical currents so that's good.

No sorry my bad, i edited it out from my previous reply. I didnt write active areas in the exam for ESB, i was referring to the PET scan qn. Sorry..
-
I don't know if I just wasn't reading the question properly but I distinctly remember thinking that the MC on case studies had really obscure answers. What did everyone choose? Also, my hopes of an A+ have gone down the drain...
-
Oh also the multiple choice with the parasympathetic ns and the sympathetic ns.
I didn't know if they had opposite effects and work together or if it was impossible for them to both function at the same time.
Pretty sure I chose that they couldn't function at the same time. But it seems like most people chose that they had opposite effects and work together :/ :/
Damn it, I should've just stayed with my first guess and not change my answer.
i was in the exact same position in that question lol. i heard somewhere though that your first response is more likely to be more accurate. I ended up going for my first response which was c which luckily for me most people got

Oi lads what did you do for the gestalt principles questions?
I did figure-ground for the columns of circles. I thought the contour line belonging to the circles was able to be separated from the ground and so this cue was able to be used.
I was umming'n'arring between proximity and figure-ground. I thougth legitimate arguments could be made for both.
I did an amazing answer for the next one using Similarity.

Proximity.
And the last one was closure- not similarity :\

Dr Pravesh and the matched participants. What was a characteristic he needed to match in the participants and why
i wrote coordination level, would that be right?

I wrote stress is perceived as a threat as well :)
What did you guys write for the advantages or disadvantages (cant remember) of the repeated measures design?
time consuming
but are you sure it's something perceived as a threat? like my palms were sweaty in the exam but not because i perceived the exam as a threat..
I think you did perceive the exam as a psychological threat.
nahhh as an opportunity! that i should try hard in
but nothing "threatening" about it
i just didn't like the word threat
if i have to work 12 hours a day, i don't feel threatened by it, its just a stressor that activates my GAS...
Exam tension is the quintessential example of a psychological threat. You were getting ready to fight (which you chose to do) or flee (stay home)

I did similarity aswell because elements will common characteristics (the circles) are perceptually grouped together to form the circle.

It was similarity ladies and gentlemen. Its like the European union flag. http://www.aanewsletter.ie/edition/5/img/european-union-flag.gif We dont 'close the gaps' to perceive a complete circle. Similarity is the tendency to percieve elements of a stimulus which appear alike as belonging together to form a meaningful whole. In this instance the elements (circle) are grouped together to form a much larger circle.
-1 mark for the rest of you :D

I did similarity but I think it could have been either.... personally in the exam I didn't even consider closure because I didn't think the stimulus looked incomplete - but I can now see how it could have been.
-
I viewed the image as a large circle, therefore it's closure
Don't be such a brat visionz

so did i tash

it is subjective, people could have viewed it in different ways. most i think would have viewed it as closure

Closure seems the immediate one to be apparent, lets hope its correct..
-
i wrote closure and proximity
but i didnt relate it back to the fkn picture, we're we supposed to? cos i dont remember it saying so ...
-
It could've been similarity or closure, just like figure-ground probably would've worked as well as long as you explain it properly.
Also, yeah you definitely would have had to relate it back to the picture. That's why they were there.
-
it didn't say relate back to the picture
and yeh hawks- i meant that it could be either.
he was just being an ass about it

I'm pretty sure you had to specifically relate it back to the picture to gain full marks..
-

Don't be such a brat visionz
You clearly dont demonstrate understanding of the gestalt principle of closure. If you used closure you would see one big circle. The picture would look like a 'C' and you'd use closure to fill up the missing gap in the 'C' to form one large circle.
Its not closure.
And yes im preempting the assessors report.
-
We'll just agree to disagree, mmk?
-
We'll just agree to disagree, mmk?
You owe gobbies when the assessors report comes back and im right.
-
rofl. hell to the no.
-
i tried
-
rofl. hell to the no.
i reckon it is more likely they could play both because it is realistically possible to perceive either
-
Closure will be accepted as well as similarity. Unless you can state why closure wouldn't work? Its quite clearly closing up the gaps to make a meaningful whole (the circle).
-
I'm pretty sure its closure..
all the items were similar (all circles), and there were gaps in the stimuli, so you mentally closeup or fillin the gaps of the visual stimuli to perceive the image as a meaningful whole (a larger circle) ?
-
closure will definitely work. and to be honest im not completely convinced with his similarity explanation...
anyway im gonna stop posting here. ive realised i screwed up this exam big time , might aswell cut my losses and stop wasting time fretting on these forums. cya everyone
-
agreed;
they could definately possibly pay both
but in all honesty, closure has a much higher chance of being paid then similarity.
-
try harder bitch
-
And also i think similarity would be more likely if there were other shapes there - there were only circles (with gaps).
however i think both will probably be awarded - provided you explain them well and relate it back
-
who got a for mc1? who got c?
i got c but there seems to be some confusion
-
where 3/4 brain neurouns are was the question yea?
im prettyyyy sure that its C: Cerebral cortex
was it just me or did was there a lot of D's in MC
-
where 3/4 brain neurouns are was the question yea?
im prettyyyy sure that its C: Cerebral cortex
was it just me or did was there a lot of D's in MC
not sure but i remember there wasn't a B until question 20 or so
-
what did everyone get for physiological changes for asc?
i wasnt sure and one of them i said
loss of self control
any chance that is right?
-
I want August to come so I can see how I did. That's the crap thing about doing so many prac exams, you can correct them instantly with examiner's reports...
-
my friend said it was the decrease heart rate and blood flow and shit like that
i wrote something stupid like sleepiness or something, cant even remember
-
i said loss of control of bodily movements
and increased body temperature?
haha no idea if the 2nd one is right
-
where 3/4 brain neurouns are was the question yea?
im prettyyyy sure that its C: Cerebral cortex

Yes I got heaps of Ds at one point
what did everyone get for physiological changes for asc?
i wasnt sure and one of them i said
loss of self control
any chance that is right?
Omg i could just not think at that point.... I said reduced coordination of body movements and acting in a less inhibited way (but that would be psychological probably)
Also... MC 1 was pretty basic I thought - cerebral cortex (c)...
-
lol cant remember what my other one was. all i know is that it was off the top of my head and was guessed. proz and answer similar to my first
-
Body Temperature and GSR... there was a section of my lecture's notes on other physiological changed during ASC that stated them but i'm not sure as I think that they might be more directed at sleep :S
-
Omg i could just not think at that point.... I said reduced coordination of body movements and acting in a less inhibited way (but that would be psychological probably)
that is the same as self control which is sort of both so im not sure
-

but sleep is an asc so that will probably be right but you never know

^^ Yeahhh, couldn't think of anything else.... oh well

-
Body Temperature and GSR... there was a section of my lecture's notes on other physiological changed during ASC that stated them but i'm not sure as I think that they might be more directed at sleep :S
i keep forgetting during exam/practice questions but the physiological changes include the simple obvious things like
•sleepiness
•aches and pains in body
•fatigue
•micro-sleeps
•hand tremors
•drooping eyelids
•difficulty focusing eyes
•lack of energy and strength
•slurred speech
•increased sensitivity to pain
•slower heart rate and respiratory rate
•drop in body temperature
•slower reaction time.
(quoted from 2009 exam assessment report)
i kept trying to remember things like heart rate etc, lol
everyone knows what its like to be sleep deprived, especially VCE students like us during exam period!!!
-
what does eveyone think they got out of 90? before coming on here I would have said 80's but know i reckon i got heaps less
maybe early 80's
-
this threads making me so devo
-
umm it didnt ask about sleep deprivation?!?!?!
-
so basically I should be thrilled that the study design is changing next year?
I'm aiming for a 47 + and this thread is putting me off pysch lol :-\

yeah i believe it was on an altered state of consciousness...
-
No no, I said exhaustion as well. She already was taking on two stressors; concern for her son and her job. This made her more susceptable to a cold (an additional stressor), which enivitably resulted in her moving from resistance (when she experienced her headaches) into exhaustion.
-
i said resistance (caught flu whilst resisting stressor)
the added stress of flu ended up tipping her over into exhaustion (then was overall psychosomatic illness not just flu)
-
I did 12 practice exams, + all the VCAA ones and still I found it hard. The distractors in the multiple choice were very smart. I've gotta give props to the exam writers they sure do know how to come up with tricky questions. There were about 5-10 tricky multiple choice. I was only confident in states of consciousness. Thank god I read that sleep talking mainly occurs in stage 4 in the 2002 assessors report LAST NIGHT. Also liked the informed consent one at the end. I read over my sister's notes and it had written that you need to be over 18 to give informed consent so thank god for that.
I think its a bit too early to be saying definitive statements such as the pictures could ONLY be similarity. Those are open to interpretation and often assessors will accept a whole range of answers if they were explained correctly. As for me I wrote proximity for both. I know it was risky but everything happens for a reason. My teacher said it should be alright, so I'm praying she's right. At least the end of year will most likely be easy.
I thought the question about GAS said what stage was Tasha in when she contracted the flu. And thus lead me to write down resistance. But exhaustion is also probably acceptable.
All in all. I would vote the 2010 psych exam as the hardest VCAA exam of this current study design. I know thats a big call and heaps of people said it was easy but I believe it was difficult and required a lot of knowledge.
I hope everyone did well and gets the mark that reflects the effort they put in. In most cases it will pay off whether or not you think it did. :)
-
yea i found this exam the hardest out of all the past exams until 2005.
Is unit 4 easier?? it only has two area of studies so you dont need to memorise as much...
genenrally which exams (mid or final) performs better?
-
2009 assessors report MC 43 says sleep talking can occur in any stage of sleep.. but I guess it did say 'most likely'
-
so basically I should be thrilled that the study design is changing next year?
I'm aiming for a 47 + and this thread is putting me off pysch lol :-\
I know I don't know your capabilities but if your aiming for a SS of 47+ I wouldn't recommend psych at all. There are so many different variables which can effect your score in psychology. There are other subjects which are MUCH easier to systematically get a 50 then psychology. Its sort of random its hard to explain. Things such as the 44 multiple choice, sure this is pleasing for many, but for top-end students...the risk of error is really high and you can easily be tricked in multis. They'd probably be better off in a subject such as legal studies, economics...etc
EG - I know someone who got a 41 in psych and 48+ in everything else despite putting the same effort in all there subjects
I don't know. i could be wrong, thats just my view
-
2009 assessors report MC 43 says sleep talking can occur in any stage of sleep.. but I guess it did say 'most likely'
i think they would have to give "any stage" as a correct answer because thats what is says in a number of resources. Somtimes from past experience, i have noticed that people try and work out trick questions which aren't actually trick questions. I have done it before and i remember someone saying at one of those lectures at examiners dont usually put much non-obvious meaning in multiple choice. thats just imo though
-
I read over my sister's notes and it had written that you need to be over 18 to give informed consent so thank god for that.
Haha, yes I remembered that because of the research experience I have to do for UMEP and I'm not 18 yet. Woo.
Also, isn't there 3 area of studies for unit 4? Even though research methods is like super short.
-
From what i remember it just said 'likely' not 'most likely' as well - not sure if that changes anything. I said sleep talking can happen in any stage of sleep.
Also do you think they will take a mark off for not saying 'written consent from a parent/guardian'? I saw that as a bit of trick and wrote it but know others that didn't. They were year 9 students so they wouldn't have been 18 - therefore requiring parent/guardian.
-
Ah shit I just realised for that informed consent one I may not have gotten full marks, if any.
I said the participants must be told about the nature and purpose of the study and that they had to produce formal non-verbal/written consent. [not word for word]
Is that any good?
-
God, Visionz is a douche. He either doesnt understand the principles himself or is after attention.

i think you would have got 1 mark out of 2. to get 2 you needed to also right about consent of legal guardian i think.
i wrote
"Participants would need to have been informed and educated about the "type of" and "reason for" the experiment to take place. written consent would need to be obtained from legal guardians.
i hope that will get me 2. it wasnt exactly that but it was similar

-

I didn't do the exam, but if the participant is under 18, permission is need from parents/guardians.
EDIT: The Parents must also be briefed on the experiment i.e. the parents must give informed consent too.
-
Oh, this talk of written consent has triggered another multiple choice question. The one about performing research and which one was seen as unethical (or something to that effect) and the choices were: "the researcher proceeded with verbal consent" "the participant became unwell during the study". I can't recall the two others. although it may have been one of them . What was the correct answer?

i put the verbal consent one

the exam took me ages, I usually took an hour - hour and ten minutes to complete practice exams but I only finished with 5 minutes left today, almost no time to check over it :(
haha the more I read these boards the more worried I get about my result. I was so sure that the girl who got sick was in the exhaustion stage, resistance never occurred to me...

hmm fascinating. Economics 2hard. Legal studies was appealing but then I saw the book...then I saw the pysch book... Then i took into account that Legal only has ONE exam which requires a lot of memory...and then also I find pysch way more interesting then legal stuff so yh...and i quite like the idea of tons of MCQ :P...especially in comparison with legal which is just SA and requires precise answers.

fck i didn't write about the under 18 thing

Verbal consent.
Shaft stroking is good.
From my perspective (inb4 subjective = both are acceptable) the stimulus was meant to be perceived as heaps of little circles contained in one big circle. Closure would have it that all the little circles were to be ignored for the purpose of seeing the big circle. Similarity is the only one which acknowledges the little circles are meant to be kept separate.
Hard to explain.

hey is A+ 95% for the SACS and exams??
if you get A+ for all your sacs and exams then what would your study score be at least?
-
Oh, this talk of written consent has triggered another multiple choice question. The one about performing research and which one was seen as unethical (or something to that effect) and the choices were: "the researcher proceeded with verbal consent" "the participant became unwell during the study". I can't recall the two others. although it may have been one of them . What was the correct answer?
Verbal consent.
Shaft stroking is good.
From my perspective (inb4 subjective = both are acceptable) the stimulus was meant to be perceived as heaps of little circles contained in one big circle. Closure would have it that all the little circles were to be ignored for the purpose of seeing the big circle. Similarity is the only one which acknowledges the little circles are meant to be kept separate.
Hard to explain.
Oh good, I chose verbal consent too :)
-

38 or 39.
That's for super low A+s.

hmm fascinating. Economics 2hard. Legal studies was appealing but then I saw the book...then I saw the pysch book... Then i took into account that Legal only has ONE exam which requires a lot of memory...and then also I find pysch way more interesting then legal stuff so yh...and i quite like the idea of tons of MCQ :P...especially in comparison with legal which is just SA and requires precise answers.
[/quote]
Legal is my best subject but boy is it a pain in the ass. Its pure memory. Its insane. I do so many ROTE subjects. Im actually excited to catch up with my further now, I even brought my books home today. The idea of applying formulas and stuff and actually having to think, rather than having to recall, at the moment is so novel. :D

well then you shoudl think it will be higher. your guess is as good as ours though.
-

Those things are misleading. Males usually get the very best marks.
My theory is that men are ultimately smarter. Women were only allowed to be educated not long ago, so school is still a novelty for them.
This theory accounts for the whole phenomenon IMO. :P

i think that one was the written consent,
whether he becomes ill during experiment isnt ethically wrong but their treatment maybe (must be allowed to withdraw etc). Ethically, researcher must obtain consent, but im not sure if it has to be written....

not quite sure how to respond to this...just in case ur all just joking...
girls are generally better at psychology and biology, men at chemistry and physics. Maybe not for VCE i dont know but in general.
besides theres is evidence that girls were dominant in some cultures (only girls educated/vote etc)
by the way, im a man, and not a feminist :)

i said the the one about cones and rods adapting
random question: what do you guys think the max number of wrong questions would be in order to still obtain an A+ on that exam?

86% minimum

If cones were unable to operate in these circumstances then you would be unable to perceive colour and that rarely happens especially walking into a cinema.

was it just me or was the ames room and the film director thing weird. Does a camera at a peephole eliminated binocular cues..???
Was the detail of the which and the whole storyline necessary I mean come on that was just a waste of ink. you could tell the exam writers were bored and thought that would be funny to put that in.

im pretty sure the location of the camera did not eliminate binocular depth cues. this is bcoz we view the camera film with both eyes-so binocular...i wrote that the camera location at the peephole ensured that our visual angle was the same for both corners, so we perceived the room as a rectangle.

frankly I agree that examinors were secretly taking the piss
they must aim to purpose torture us students
last time I checked wewere being tested on OUR KNOWLEDGE of the content
not how well we can read between the lines and propose hypotheses for differnt explanations of the content in various contexts
*sighs* fml

But when you're watching a tv, there's no difference in your perception of what is on the screen whether you use both eyes or one eye. What you see on a tv is pretty much a series of images/frames which would be the same as a bunch of pictures that use pictorial depth cues to convey depth.
-
yeah i wasn't sure, would the Ames room even work through a lens?
-
yeah i wasn't sure, would the Ames room even work through a lens?
Yeah it would because it can only be monocularly viewed - you wouldn't even need a peephole! Only the correct positioning.
It's like those pictures of the people "pushing" the leaning tower of pisa over...

Hey guys what is the answer for the visual perception question where it asked you which occipital lobes would process image from the right visual field.
i said the left lobe only but some of my friends tell me its both lobes...please help me... T.T

its both :( sorry
-
damn////
why is that so??? and where did we learn that?
-
Right visual field > left side of the retina > Left occipital lobe
Right EYE > both occipital lobes
-
Question 3
Visual images received in the left visual field are processed in the
A. occipital lobe of the left and right hemispheres.
B. temporal lobe of the right hemisphere only.
C. occipital lobe of the right hemisphere only.
D. occipital lobe of the left hemisphere only
isnt the answer C??

B. the patient becomes unwell during the experiment.
C. the researcher ends the experiment because the patient is distressed
D. the researcher proceeds on the basis of obtaining verbal consent from the patient.
is the answer d?

Haha, whoops. Then it's the right occipital lobe.
It's definitely not both. It's only both if it was processed in one eye (which was what a past exam question was).

Question 7
A researcher was interested in the possible link between brain tumours and depression in elderly patients. She
conducted an intensive study of six individual patients in a hospital using diagnostic tests, patients'interviews,
and examination of the patients'medical records.
One limitation of this method for her research is that
A. the research is not controlled for potential confounding variables.
B. the reliance on patients'reports will not produce very detailed information.
C. the patients cannot be randomly allocated to the control and experimental groups.
D. it is too easy to generalise the results of this type of research.
answer is A right?
Question 11
Which of the following is true of the autonomic nervous system (ANS)?
A. The ANS is a vital part of the central nervous system (CNS).
B. It is impossible to consciously influence the functioning of the ANS.
C. The ANS ensures that the constantly changing energy requirements of the body are met.
D. The ANS relays messages between the CNS and the voluntary muscles that control our internal organs
and glands.
answer C?

Question 16
Stuart was accused of stealing money from his employer. He knew he was innocent of the crime, so he volunteered
to take a polygraph test. Stuart failed the test even after it was repeated.
Stuart may have failed the test because
A. he may have felt very relaxed and produced low physiological arousal during both the control and relevant
questions.
B. he may have unintentionally bitten his tongue and induced high physiological responses to the control
questions.
C. the polygraph measures physiological arousal which can be due to emotions other than guilt.
D. the polygraph cannot accurately measure blood pressure and heart rate.
i picked C for this one but i felt B and A could be possible if it weren't for the fact that they repeated the test

answer C?
thats what i got but the first one i only chose A because i didnt think it was the others

Question 16
Stuart was accused of stealing money from his employer. He knew he was innocent of the crime, so he volunteered
to take a polygraph test. Stuart failed the test even after it was repeated.
Stuart may have failed the test because
A. he may have felt very relaxed and produced low physiological arousal during both the control and relevant
questions.
B. he may have unintentionally bitten his tongue and induced high physiological responses to the control
questions.
C. the polygraph measures physiological arousal which can be due to emotions other than guilt.
D. the polygraph cannot accurately measure blood pressure and heart rate.
i picked C for this one but i felt B and A could be possible if it weren't for the fact that they repeated the test
I picked C, and the other 2 answers in the questions prior ;-)

but your answer is right I think. Because he had to repeat the test, so he must have been a little worried or shocked for failing the test after the first time isn't that true.

Explain the role of Tasha's sympathetic nervous system in stage 3 of the GAS.
is it ok if you said that the sympathertic system will continue to be active and increase heartrate etc.... compared to in a state of homeostatis but at the expense of health and bodily resources
Question 5
Tasha is a doctor in a busy general practice. Tasha returned to work after six months maternity leave to avery
busy flu season that required working twelve-hour dajs to cope with the extra patient load. As well as being
very busy at work, Tasha missed her baby son. After six weeks of this workload she developed a severe tension
headache by the end of almost every working day. After a few days, Tasha's headaches went away although she
was still working long hours in the busy surgery. When she caught the flu herself, Tasha had to take a week off
work. After recovering and being back at work for a few days, Tasha was unable to get up to go to work one
morning. When she consulted her own doctor, she was diagnosed as being extremely stressed and physically
drained.
^. Which stage of the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) was Tasha most likely in when she contracted
the flu?

Yeah... it's all an interrelated process but we separate them in order to study it. But honestly, I thought VCE psych didn't distinguish between perception and sensation - visual perception is the whole visual process ???
-
i dont think Case Studies have control/experimental groups or am i wrong..

Does anyone have a general idea of the answers that would be required for the short answer questions?
Like from a teacher or something ?
I don't think I got full marks for the Ames Room question ....

I think the stage 1 was when she got the headaches and she was resisting these in stage 2, which was when she got the headache. They could potentially mark both correct though.

if she wasnt in exhaustion then when she came back to work after a few days she would have been able to get up and go to work...but i think they'll accept both
-
I was doing really well on both multiple choice, but was too relaxed with my time. Ended up having 5 mins left to answer the entire last 2 pages.
Didn't properly answer the 4 mark hot coffee question and the one about the ASC sick guy.
Also, for the experimenter having to ask someone to experiment on the young boy, I forgot the organization and went with "the child's parent or guardian" :(

look at the 2002 exam. one of the fill in the blanks was this exact same question. that year they accepted stage 4, or stage 3 or NREM. Not sure about 3/4 though. So I just went with 4. Check it out. Might have been 2003 or 2004...

Last year the question was raised in multiple choice. They didn't want a specific answer though, 'most like to occur in...'
I'll check out the old exam papers.
Oh here it is. 2009 Multiple Choice question 43
Sleep talking occurs in
A. REM sleep only
B. Stage 1 sleep only
C. Stages 3 and 4 sleep only (this refers to sleep walking)
D. Both REM and NREM sleep
Examiner's commends: 43 students chop option C, this suggests that students are confusing sleep talking, which may occur in any stage of sleep, with sleep walking, which occurs only in stages 3 and 4 of NREM sleep.

In Stage 3 sleep, which of the following sleep events is least likely to occur?
A. nightmares <--- answer
B. night terrors
C. sleep talking

Grivas ... I thought I read it in there.. but I just checked and it just stays NREM or REM
I must have read it from the notes I was given from a seminar

Overall what do you guys think of the exam?
Hard-Mediocre- easy?

^^ fairly hard...
-
yeh hard - mediocre.. some questions were dead set obvious.
Start reading Unit 4 yet anyone?
-
I might write some guides up for research methods next semester (when exams are over), cause strangely enough, I like Research Methods.
-
I thought the exam was extremely easy. If I didn't do it after missing 3 nights of sleep would've gotten 95% for sure.
-
I couldnt have hoped for any better tbh. I think I did as well, if not better, than on any practice exams. My plan was to peak on exam day and I think I did it.
Im not sure whether or not it was hard or easy.
-
It was definitely the hardest VCAA exam since 2005. The questions were quite different and original in SA and MC in the brain and at the start of visual perception (sensation, dark adaptation stuff) But in comparison to some others harder practice exams it was okay. But I found it was a lot more application than just regurgitating.
-
It wasn't that bad. It was actually pretty interesting (lol what even). A few questions threw me off though.

minilunchbox. I noticed your doing Psych UMEP. As a student interested in doing it next year, what do you think of it?

Can someone tell VN what they wrote describing the sensory stuff and Karen's hand and the coffeee cup being too hot
One of the MC questions asked about the autonomic system and it said how sensory receptors gather info then sensory nuerons take it to the brain etc. I used that to job mymemory.
I said : sensory receptors receive info from internal and external stimuli [not sure about internal*] (such as karen sensing hot glass) and sensory neurons send info to the CNS via sensory/afferent nerves. The brain processes this info and send motor neurons via efferent nerves to the skeletal muscle for movement. This process coordinated the movement of karen putting teh glass down.
yeah pretty much exactly what I wrote, only thing is I believe that they wanted you to mention the frontal lobe processing the information.. I was really suprised that there were so many 3 mark q's not to mention the 4 mark question.

Oi lads what did you do for the gestalt principles questions?
I did figure-ground for the columns of circles. I thought the contour line belonging to the circles was able to be separated from the ground and so this cue was able to be used.
I was umming'n'arring between proximity and figure-ground. I thougth legitimate arguments could be made for both.
I did an amazing answer for the next one using Similarity.
wow, yes well I chose closure for the second one, then changed it to figure ground, then changed it to similarity.. I'm kinda relieved somebody else chose similarity too... heres to similarity ;)
-
with the perception sensation ones
sensation = reception, transduction transmission selection?
and perception: organisation and interpretation
BUTTT WTF our teacher always told us they can't really be seperated
fucking hate vcaa
I chose 'perception involves cognitive something something, whereas sensation doesnt.' Least confident question on the whole thing
yep cognition can basically be derived to mean thoughts, which are psychological, and therefore part of perception while sensation is biological/physiological

I did figure-ground aswell. most people did proximity. I initially did proximity but thought I could explain figure-ground better
Your answer better have been amazing cause I don't see how it is anything other then closure for the next one lol
I did similarity aswell because elements will common characteristics (the circles) are perceptually grouped together to form the circle.
woot another similarity person ;)

what did everyone get for physiological changes for asc?
i wasnt sure and one of them i said
loss of self control
any chance that is right?
no offence here.. but loss of self control isn't really realistic, what i mean is, there would be a decreased level of self control. saying that somebody has had a loss of self control could be interpreted to mean that they would do absolutely anything that was asked of them (including murder)
-
i though it was fairly hard although it was more "different" than hard. I went in aiming for around 80/90 but went out thinking i got around 75. I think I did very well on multiple choice(don't think there is one that i have got certainly wrong) but stuffed up on the short answer. Will be interesting to see what i get

was it just me or was the ames room and the film director thing weird. Does a camera at a peephole eliminated binocular cues..???
Was the detail of the which and the whole storyline necessary I mean come on that was just a waste of ink. you could tell the exam writers were bored and thought that would be funny to put that in.
im pretty sure the location of the camera did not eliminate binocular depth cues. this is bcoz we view the camera film with both eyes-so binocular...i wrote that the camera location at the peephole ensured that our visual angle was the same for both corners, so we perceived the room as a rectangle.
actually the location had nothing to do with whether binocular depth cues were eliminated, however a camera would provide only monocular film since there is only one camera...
