Exam Thoughts & Review

[dawogboy]

anyone have the multiple choice answers ??

[REBORN]

8-9 because you operationalised the hypothesis. VCAA wants a research hypothesis

Btw what did ppl put for the MCQ that asked "according to Laz and Folk model the type of stress that Sarah is experiencing when her grandmother died is?"

harm yeah? (even though that's not a type of stress. stupid VCAA)

pretty sure mid year assessors report said u dont get penalised for operationalising even if its a research hypothesis

ok, cant be bothered reading all 17 pages. The question about Shane and snakes, either being flooding or systematic desensitisation? I left it to the last minute to fill it in because I couldnt decided, now Ive forgotten which one I'd put in.

[pas0005]

yeah i said harm. what did people do for the garcia one about the preconditioning question. i t was" in the preconditiong phase, the rats were given sacharine water"

a)and a mild electric shock
b)plain water and could select which one they drank
c)and radiation treatment, making them sick
d)which activated a loud clicking noise and flashing light when they drank it.

I did d?

D.

And yes you do get penalised for u4. My teacher was a VCAA assessor and said that because it was a new SD they were lenient.

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

Even so, the question said they were gonna chuck him straight into the snake enclosure with no help or support... how on earth could that ever be systematic desensitization...?
It could only of been flooding since there was no fear heirachy involved and they didn't work up to it eg, looking at pictures of snakes, watching tv show about snakes, looking at snake outside enclosure... they just chucked the poor bloke straight in there which is flooding!

it said learned relaxation response. that's where people got fooled...not as easy as you made it out to be

ok just saw this.
and yes, the whole bit at the end about learned relaxation response is an absolute stick in the rear end, seriously the Grivas book basically says flooding is until 'the fearful response extinguishes' with systematic desensitisation having  a heavy emphasis on 'learned relaxation response'.

[agro]

might have already been said in the previous 900 pages but did anyone take notice of the fact that it said the teachers 'administered their own tests' for the students, doesn't that mean that both Classes took different tests?

[jaydee]

yeh so thatd come under standardised procedures. heaps of flaws in the experiment other than that. gender imbalance, convenience sampling used, number of participants in each group weren't the same, no pre-testing of intelligence levels

[agro]

so could you use matched participants to iron out the gender imbalance and intelligence levels?

[agro]

was the marks for identifying how to fix the flaws a big part of assesment? say if you were able to point out flaws but you didnt really explain how to fix them very well would that cost you a lot of marks? or will you still get the marks for id'ing the flaws

[jaydee]

i think you'd get marks for identifying it but you need to fix flaws too. with intelligence levels using matched participants wouldve been the best way to overcome that. different number of participants in each group, the researcher shouldve used random sampling and allocation which will also fix up gender imbalance too.

[agro]

what about stratified sampling? could that work too?
