Psychology Post-Exam Discussion

Was 33 A? I originally had C and then changed it. And what'd people put for 40?

40 was soo weird. I put C, but yeah, I'm not sure at all.
And I put A for 33 too.

Can't really be A for 33 as if it activated post-synaptic neurons, that would increase arousal. Really... making it worse

But I thought Benzodiazepiens work by stimulating the GABA which... actually wait. Shit.

So that's one question wrong then!

No no....benzodiazepiens IMITIATE GABA and gaba is a inhibitory neoron found in the CNS therefore they inhibit neuron activation!!

Whatever the case, congratulations to everyone for completing Year 12 Psychology! 
It's been a wonderful ride, and I'd be happy to do it all again!  I'm sure all of you have similar sentiments.
All the best for the rest of your studies!

Also, what did people have for Multiple Choice question 25?

I did B for 25

SO i wasn't the only one who did D or something which said inhiibits post synaptic neuron blablab therefore decreasing arousal?

Now, that's one indicator that you really enjoyed the subject

I reckon it could easily be A or C. The information in Grivas is pretty ambiguous.

Heeeh! I do really love it! Even if my mark isn't the best, I'll still love it.

ARRRRGHHHHH kjdbcfksdb I'm such an idiot! I talked about observational learning in the Polly question instead of shaping!!! Feeling very disappointed, especially because the whole exam felt like it was probably easy so more people will do better. So much content wasn't assessed at all! Like Garcia and Koelling and allostasis etc. What did people write for the random classification question in short answer? And also the one with the graph and not being able to draw a conclusion?

dont worry, i believe it may be one of those questions where obseravtional, operant and shaping are acepted as long as the answer is explained. they all have valid points and could be a successive way to train her, but im not quite sure. in the trial exams i did, there were a few questions like that, that had mutilple possible answers! dont stress anyway, it's only a two or one mark question anyway

Thanks, I really hope so (although I reeeeally doubt it haha). It was 3 marks
Does anyone know if connect ed will be publishing exam answers for end of year exams?

It's C

what was the answer for the question abt jim's son coz it was either punishment or negative reinforcement

[ktrah]

Swearing less was punishment, doing more homework was negative reinforcement.

SOOOO HAPPY THE EXTENDED RESPONSE WAS ER!!!!!!
When reading time started I quickly flicked to ER, saw it was research methods and did a tiny fist pump!
questions were basic, A+ cut off will be really high I think

OMG SAME. I actually smiled to myself and felt soooooo relieved

For 25 I said B


Argh, as much as it is all relieving, I'm actually going to miss psychology soooo much
