Exam Thoughts & Review

[izzykose]

For the neuroimaging techniques question i wrote: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging fMRI, and then just in case added "or MRI and states what that was".

Do you think they will accept the first answer and mark it correct?

In addition for the question on a socio-cultural aspects contributing to the stress response: I wrote social learning or transmission of threat information, the latter is a better answer and correct. Because i wrote or and put it there will it be marked correct. They dont take marks away for wrong information do they?

Thanks

@Camo.

Looking at your answers it looks like some of those aren't right..

First of all, 17 is D. - Discriminative stimulus/Atecedent condition (D/A), Response to stimulus (B), Consequence of Response (C) -> D-B-C of Operant Conditioning (Three phase model).

Q45 is D not A

@Camo,

You had like 8-10 answers different to me and im confident of getting 40+ MCQ right so... I dont know what to think or say.
If your right on most of the Qs, it means bad news for me and if im mostly right it means bad news for you

 @LukeMcA Q17 was indeed D i believe

@ash.123.117 Q45 i got D aswell

In regards to your answers, i got 42/45. But it could be 43 or 44, because the ones that were different were disputed, such as flooding.

What were yours for q4/q5?

About the extended response hypothesis, my teacher is  a VCAA assessor and she said they can't penalise where students operationalise a hypothesis when it asks for a research hypothesis unless an assessor's report says so. And the mid year chief-assessor's report said that students would not be penalised on that exam and did not say anything about students being penalised in future so you should be okay if you operationalised it.

For multiple choice question 1 couldn't the answer have been A (to bowl a ball)  because the hippocampus is involved in spatial learning???
I see why most people are saying C (the names of people he meets) but the question asks which one he would have most difficulty learning? Wouldnt he be able to learn their names just not be able to remember them?

[Laurenxoxo1993]

Also did anyone else write 3 seconds for the time between the presentation of the NS and the UCS

[REBORN]

Nah it's definitely 1/2 a second.

[izzykose]

What were yours for q4/q5?

B and C respectively

@lauren
learning is defined as a relatively permanent change in behaviour as a result of experience, so with damage to the hippocampi the person would have difficulty with being able to learn the names of new people they meet as it is necessary for the hippocampus to be working as it is involved in the formation of declarative memories. However, learning to bowl a ball is much more of a procedural memory as it requires you to learn 'how to' do it which is more to do with the cerrebellum and damage to the hippocampi would have less of an effect on being able to learn this behaviour.

I interpreted the three phase operant conditioning question wrong I believe.
I said that the stimulus would be the punisher itself (a smack) which is given in response to the tantrum (R) which leads to the reduced tantrums (C)
