Exam Thoughts & Review

[Hylton]

I

Are you guys talking about the adaptive plasticity question in short answer?
Cause if you are what i wrote was stuff about how it can occur anytime during an individual's life and how it can be used to form new neural pathways after damage may have of occured.
Lol it looks like im the only one who wrote about that stuff and not the sprouting and rerouting of neurons, guess im either gonna be really lucky or really wrong ..

I wrote what you wrote too, so i do hope you're lucky too!

question 3 got me good.

Flooding does involve relaxation. The aim of flooding is that the patient will try and replace the feeling of anxiety with relaxation and that the major problem of flooding is that it rarely ever happens

i use grivas text book and in the phobias section for flooding the first sentence says it doesnt have a relaxation component

What was the answer to MC question 3??

What was the question?

[jwongton]

i thought it was okay, but i ran out of time and had to rush back to finish off the multiple choice at the end. i thought it was easier than the midyear!

I completely guessed question 3-I chose D lol
I've never even heard of experience dependent and experience expectant

[zenica93]

The question was something about some girl learning English, then Italian in high school- independent-expectant.. random question  stuff.. I dropped my pen, landed on C. So C it was

[dh1993]

yeah I did what Zenica93 said, it was a fixed interval cos it was at the end of the week, but then a variable interval will make him keep it clean on a daily basis cos he wouldnt know when his mother will be chekcing it etc

[roxannie136]

crapppp i did fixed ratiooo and continous to make sure he always cleans his room :/

[MeLucky]

I wrote variable interval then switched to variable ratio...and I can't remember if I switched it back to variable interval...hopefully I did

[dh1993]

Dont panic! if you got that bit wrong you probably did other stuff that was correct while others got things wrong.. im pretty sure i stuffed up a couple of multiple choice questions.. those stupid trick questions about plasticity and if they increase or decrease etc drain it

[jwongton]

I completely guessed question 3-I chose D lol
I've never even heard of experience dependent and experience expectant

Yeah experience-dependant is adaptive plasticity and -expectant is developmental (Y)

I thought it was a very accessible exam. Some of the multiple questions I thought were ambiguous and the mark allocation for the short answer was quite questionable, but it was much friendlier than the mid-years. I can speak for everyone when I say the Extended Response for this exam was a sigh of relief in comparison with *chokes* Alzheimer's.
