What kind of questions do you think they'll throw at us?
I reckon there might be a SA on how working memory integrates from both phonological loop & visuospatial sketchpad
last year like 75% of people got the UCS and CR wrong - that grape one where you had to say "sight of grape" not just " grapes"
maybe they'll put something like that in again, so we must be very specific :)
55% of people also got 0 marks on the SA question on Positive transfer of skill :S
Also 85% of people got 0 for What does the level of significance <0.05 mean?
-
questions about special relativity

questions about special relativity
...i doubt this...or hope not...as i have never heard that.
o.O
i mean uh, obvious troll is obvious.
and 85% of people got 0 for the level of significance <0.05?
that's weird...
-
yeah well it says on the report that kids misunderstood it as saying
" what does p<0.05 mean?"
as opposed to
" What does a level of significance of <0.05 mean?"
I'm kinda confused myself

Actually, many appeared to have misinterpreted it as "What does p<0.05 mean?" as opposed to "What does a level of significance of 0.05 mean?"
There was no less than sign in the question but lots of people interpreted it that way. :P
-
they mean the same thing?
though that could mean people said it means less than 5 in every 100 is due to chance and then forgot to state whether that meant results were significant or not
-
ohhh true.
well that shouldn't be a worry!

HOW would u answer the first thing you said.
Bout integration?

Ohhh. Oopsies!
I guess I was one of those people haha

I'm wondering about this too. :/
If there really was such a question I'd probably struggle a little.. I don't think I'm so good at explaining working memory.

Sameee... I vaguely remember a question like this and then reading the answer..I've forgotten now.

i hope they dont ask about stratified sampling... explaining independent groups design is much easier

to be honest I'm not really sure what would be a good answer. I think the one I read somewhere was something to do with reading.
I remember doing a question like that and I bullshitted something way too long but got the marks - but I can't remember what I wrote :\
I hope they ask us to write an abstract - not haha but imagine if they did ask something like that. I hate vcaa
-
Just imagine opening the paper in reading time, flicking through the short answer questions. "Which schedule of reinforcement is the most resistant to extinction." - 20 marks.
OH SHIT.

you know how you said "working memory integrates from both phonological loop & visuospatial sketchpad" - it is through the central executive right?

yep, the Central executive acts like a processor
-
also still, does anyone know a straight definition for visuospatial sketchpad?
central executive i now have down, thanks guys aha. and phonological loop is straightforward,
yet for visuospatial... it's visual and..spatial information. so i'm not entirely clear on a definition.
-
visuospatial skecthpad stores visual and spatial information...no jokes thats the def in the book!
-
Visuospatial sketchpad temporarily stores visual and spatial info, such as the location and nature of objects in the environment.
^Textbook definition
doh coolhat beat me to it :P
-
would u get marks if u wrote that def in the exam?
-
I'm guessing, since there doesn't seem to be any other definitions.
Another text book one I've got is "responsible for the temp storage and manipulation of visual and spatial info"
-
sigh...

Thats the one i use.
Also i would mention. ( if they said DESCRIBE and left 2-3 lines).
The visiospatial sketchpad allows us to remember where specific objects are placed in the environment and well as the nature of those objects.
also would mention its a SUBSYSTEM of baddleys theory of working memory. :)
-
treww, lulz the definition is basically the word. this is good!
well i think i'm set, thanks guys! :)
i'm sure all of VN will kill it!
-
this is also another little paragraph I found on it :)
As we move around, our position in relation to objects is constantly changing and it is important that we can update this information. For example, being aware of where we are in relation to desks, chairs and tables when we are walking around a classroom means that we don't bump into things too often!
The sketchpad also displays and manipulates visual and spatial information held in long-term memory. For example, the spatial layout of your house is held in LTM. Try answering this question: How many windows are there in the front of your house? You probably find yourself picturing the front of your house and counting the windows. An image has been retrieved from LTM and pictured on the sketchpad.
