36. In a second experiment the same participants were required to memories a list of 13 names. One hour later the participants were tested and were asked to list the names that they remembered.

In this experiment the rate of forgetting on the test would most likely have been

A. The same as for the nonsense syllables.
B. Slower than for the nonsense syllables.

ah that one! I chose same as, because I remembered in the 2011 midyear, they had an almost identical question and the answer to that was "same rate".

I am guessing that names are more meaningful (semantically speaking) than nonsense syllables and thus easier to remember and (possibly) chunk. Especially if one of the names in the list was the name of someone you know for instance. Thus B.

But wouldn't that just mean that less was forgotten? It wouldn't change the rate of forgetting.

No rate = change in amount remembered over time

As time is same
You can compare qmount remembered straight away

VCAA has said this in the past, and now they decide to change their mind. Right.

Hey guys, I'm Connect Ed's Psych lecturer and the solutions writer, I'll be writing into VCAA to contest this question. I've gotten a question removed from a VCAA Psych exam before that was incorrect, hopefully the same goes for this one! It's generally much harder though to get a question removed this late, but I stand by my decision that the correct answer was A. I'll do whatever I can to get that mark back for you guys! :)

Awesome :) do you think it's worth us writing to them too? Like does it help to have several contesting letters?

I think it'd probably help most if you could get your teacher to complain. VCAA is more likely to take it seriously if teachers rather than students complain, unfair but true.. Thanks for helping out though! :)
