Exam Thoughts & Review

[ben_sebastian4]

I went with the latter option cause i thought that they were like asking what would the parent do to manage the child, not the response of a child. So i said basically that the tantrum was the discriminative stimulus, then the operant response was smacking the child and the consequences was that the child would shut up lol.
Hopefully the cut offs stay the same as mid year, i mean geez VCAA couldn't even manage one decent exam. Suppose they think that the ambiguity of the questions is meant to separate us but its really just a pain in the arse.

See the thing was, or well what I thought - was that the child was supposed to be the learner in this situation; not the parent, so to me
antecedent condition -> tantrum -> consequence made sense, to me at least :x

So that when the child was punished for throwing a tantrum, it would be less likely to throw a tantrum in the future. thats my take anyway

Yeah it was really ambiguous i reckon. Well lets just hope VCAA sees their screw up and we all get it right

Did anyone use the extra space for SA Q's?

[LukeMcA]

For the D-B-C short answer, I had:

D - A room (or any area in which he has a tantrum).
B - Good behaviour
C - Rewarded with lolly.

Also, for Q1 MC, the answer was knitting, right? It couldn't have been remembering names because damaged hippocampi result in the inability to structure and form new declarative memories (memories of facts, events and knowledge).

[REBORN]

Nope it was not knitting. It was C.

Did anyone use the extra space for SA Q's?

Oh lord, i drew arrows and made footnotes everywhere until i realised that we had extra space...

[LukeMcA]

How can't it be "Knitting for the first time".

Did anyone use the extra space for SA Q's?

i only went over by like 2 words on a few SA so i just wrote under the line, thats okay right?

[REBORN]

How can't it be "Knitting for the first time".

Did it say that? Gg then. Not sure now.

[monkeywantsabanana]

Yea i think i put knitting :-S

AHHHH it could have been names : !!

[ProtonStar]

I put down knitting as well...
Why couldn't it have been knitting?

[LukeMcA]

Yes, it said 'for the first time'. So it has to be knitting.

[amilss]

For mc 1 i put riding the bike. I thought the hippocampi (lol) were do with spatial learning. But now that i think about it riding a bike doesnt really involve any thing to do with spatial ability

Damn it

[dh1993]

I thought it was the remembeing names.. cos all the rest were procedural type memories except for that one so i chose it lol

[harlequinphoenix]

So no-one knows about the scaling damn.


the bike one was alluding to balance so cerebellum I think. I thought hippocampus was declarative? I put the names. But then its also storing of memories too isn't it? So could be knitting. Which is annoying. ANOTHER question with 2 answers.

[LukeMcA]

I think the key element of that question was "for the first time". The hippocampus is involved in the formation of new, declarative memories (memories of events, facts and knowledge). So if damage had occurred, one would think that the individual would be unable to store and structure new memories. Hence, Knitting for the first time.
