Exam Thoughts & Review

No. Fixed interval works on the basis provided the correct response is made.

This.

[Zafaraaaa]

Btw did ppl put benzodiazepine for the GABA q and then give an example. such as valium.

Yeah that question was strange, I put down both the definition/role of GABA, and how lower GABA could be treated by using benzodiazepines [although probably with wrong spelling!] which would stimulate the activity of the GABA, but didn't give an example for fear of making more spelling mistakes

OMG, did we need to give an example?!

[REBORN]

Nah doubt it. I just did it in case. It's VCAA :p

[Hylton]

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?

I dont understand why you and most other people say the answer is variable interval. I agree it could be, but couldnt it also be variable ratio? The question asked for a method in which the kid would keep his room the tidiest, and variable ratio is meant to be the most effective schedule of reinforcement so it is it right or wrong?

How would variable ratio work in that situation though? I mean yeah you are right, but it just doesn't make sense in this case.

@watto_22, I put D down for #10, although it could work for C too I guess. The definition of latent learning is that it is a form of learning that involves no direct reinforcement, and remains hidden or unexpressed until it is needed. C meets the first part, D meets the second part. Well...

the mother could just check more times in the week?

VCAArse, you mean?

[REBORN]

btw it was B - reward - for the rats yh?

[riceiscow]

btw it was B - reward - for the rats yh?

Had to be, otherwise they wouldn't have shown they had learnt

[watto_22]

btw it was B - reward - for the rats yh?

yeah see i'm not sure at all
the study relied on the first group of rats being rewarded every trial, but at the same time, it also relied on the second group of rats not being rewarded until the 11th trial.
since the question didnt specify which rats, who knows...

[Tomanomanous]

Took the words right out of my mouth. Yeah. D couldn't be it, because although they knew their path around the maze, the researcher couldn't record it due to the rats not showing they learned. Once the reinforcer was put in on day 11, the rats showed their learning, which was latent, thus the reinforcer was, or B.

[LukeMcA]

Yeah it was B. The only way Latent learning can be observed is by providing a means of motivation/reinforcement. Hence, food. (B)

Can someone please tell me how to upload anything on this damn thing? Each time I try it doesn't work.... or if a mod is here or someone technologically competent, I can e-mail the multiple choice to you and you can upload it here!

THANKS!

Either email it to me (use my profile email button) or upload it to something like photobucket/imgur and i'll pdf it and reupload it

What did people say for the question where it asked how the biopsychosocial frameowork changed the way mental health professionals diagnosed…or something like that

[REBORN]

You can't individually treat people. 'whole' person. 'holistic'. Legendary Methodical Bullshitting.
