Title: Any Predictions?
Post by: Hadia on November 02, 2012, 03:08:40 pm

REAAAALLLLYYY hoping for the ER to be something on Learning- Classical or Operant.
But I would love for it to be on Research Methods again!

Honestly, I dont think that will happen especially because every student will be wishing that :p
Might be a research methods one since everyone did badly on that in the mid years ;9

Should definitely be some Garcia and Koelling in there - don't know in what format though (i.e. no idea whether it will come as short answer, or multiple choice or extended??)

An extended question on that would be pretty harsh on VCAA's behalf. I wouldn't be complaining, but the state mean for that would be exceptionally low imo. I think short answer.

But then again, so was a 15 mark question on Alzheimer's :/

I really hope it's not on Garcia, I've been trying to understand the experiment and for the life of me I can't work it out! But it sounds like something VCAA would do...

IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE GOLD IF IT WAS AN EXTENDED.

Exactly because so many people don't understand it.

Sorry guys it wont be on garcia, as the study design says as informed by John Garcia i dont think they could really center the whole ER on it

is there any chance that the neural basis of learning may be on the ER
if so i think i'd rip the paper

hmm i believe there may be a situation where multiple operant terms are applicable and you have to recognise them. such as whos being negatively reinforced or punished ect... i hope section C is about the bps and phobias, i would love to ramble on about GABA!
