THE EXAM

[dior1]

^ ha i had the worst answer to that!!

what did everybody put for the spatial neglect mc question? was it right pariatal?

[jess3254]

Does anyone know all the answers from multiple choice, from taking a spare exam.

Would be helpful to compare results...?


(:

Overall psych was not as bad as I suspected!

Though from reading other peoples responses, i feel i could've got a few wrong.

I'm in the process of writing suggested answers

and yes it would be right parietal

I thought it was pretty easy, but maybe they'll be picky with short answer

there very picky for SA section

[cookie_dough]

I thought it was pretty good! It was harder than last years exam though
What did you get for the multiple choice about the lady with the pacemaker that didn't want radioactive injections?
I put CT scan but I wasn't too sure.. Is that right?

I just had a look at that question. It's completely crap. Because:

A. CT scan - doesn't show function
B. PET scan - shows function but has an invasive injection
C. MRI scan - doesn't show function and can't be used on individuals who have pacemakers
D. fMRI scan - shows function but can't be used on individuals with pacemakers.

None of them seem correct/appropriate to me.

radioactive glucose required for a PET scan can be taken orally rather than by an invasive injection.

so it's B. PET scan

i doubt they would have put a question in like that^ where they wanted us to know that when someone doesn't want a radioactive injection, they can orally swallow radioactive substance :S

[Glockmeister]

Personally, the oral method doesn't really seem plausible to me. It'd take too long for the glucose to get to the brain.

Also, I can't find any information on wikipedia.

Mm, I don't think it would work to ingest it for a brain PET. Think about it.

haha it's in the textbook

Yeah lol... not sure it's correct.
Perhaps for a stomach PET that would work?
Not a brain PET

hey sori to break it to u but it was A: Reception

The mc question:
In visual perception, what is the first process:
a) reception
b) selection
c) transmission
d) ??

Was the correct answer b)Selection? Because from my understanding reception is the first process of visual Sensation.
I'd like somebody to clarify this :S

Jess, it could be one of those, it's right for VCE-land type answers then.

Btw, I'm a uni student, so I actually don't have the Grivas book handy with me.
