Exam Thoughts & Review

[REBORN]

was the answer D. it said experience-expectant and experience-dependant respectively.

It was experience dependant and experience expectant respectively which I think was C. It's to do with critical and sensitive periods (critical periods are experience dependant, such as when learning your first language as a young child and sensitive periods are experience expectant and that's now believed to occur during adolescence)

And for the one about the boy cleaning his room, VCAA will probably have to accept both. My teacher said that although he mother was originally using variable-interval, textbook wise variable ratio has is most resistant to extinction.

Not it was D. Experience expectant followed by experience dependent.

I couldn't understand the mark allocation for the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping and the Biofeedback question. 4 marks and 3 marks, but I felt like no matter how much I wrote about them, it would never be enough marks >.<

[Anon123]

@ssNake: just went with the decrease/diminish (for both? - i think)
Also was it 0.5 for the classcal conditioning?

I did the same, and yes 0.5 for cc

Aren't sensitive periods experience expectant and critical periods experiencedependant?

But Grivas Book says flooding has no relaxation 
Y they lie for??

[REBORN]

I don't understand what q4/5 is trying to test. Plasticity is the ability of the brain's neural structure or function to be changed throughout the lifespan. That's the Grivas definition...

There was no relaxation! I'm pretty sure the mention of relaxation was exclusively for the question above..

[Analog]

Probably will be a lower cut-off than midyear but since it's quite a different format difficult to tell.

There is no relaxation in flooding, thats graduated exposure or systematic desensitisation. It's just that during flooding, the psychologist usually gets the client to rate their anxiety until they are completely relaxed. But they're no distinctly pairing the fear with relaxation.

It was D

It was fixed interval/variable-interval

but wtf was q4 and q5 about developmental and adaptive plasticity? (diminishes with age, increases, constant?) wtf?

yeah I know the plasticity one was weird :S I think i put developmental decreases with age and same with adaptive, but someone told me adaptive remains the same so I have no idea what I got right or wrong

What was the answer to the multiple choice question about the grandfather and mother?

Tell me about it! I just guessed "diminishes with age" even though I knew it would be wrong I fail at guessing multiple choice!

There can be relaxation techniques used to replace for the fear.
