THE EXAM

[smi0041]

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

that was a stupid question because the question before it said, the first stage in visual perception is.. and the answer was transduction , bad wording

answer is reception- at the lecture i went to the speakers made this clear that if asked what is the first stage in visual perception the answer is reception

Okay Question 13. PET IS NOT THE ANSWER. None of htem seem plausible to put. As already discussed in this forum.. But CAT is the answer.

FMRI AND MRI are wrong.. for obvious reasons.. and so it leaves PET AND CAT.. now PET is functional and CAT is structural. Now. The reason why PET is considered invasive, is not becuase of hte injection, because cat as an injeciton. it's because the radioactive glucose going into the blood stream. So yes, u can swallow glucose shit.. but its still invasive because thats whats being put into ur body. I thinkthe question is very stupid, and it will be taken off..

Anotehr thing is other sources say CATs show function, but thats stupid because the text book that we have says its only structural. Furthermore, i was tlaking to a mates and two of them have mum's who are nurses, who said that they'd do CAT in that circumstance, and definetly not MRI AND FMRI.. but yeh apparnetly CAT is the answer.

Sorry, my uncle works at UNSW and he is a  professor in the pyschology faculty there and i showed him this question and he said that PET is the answer. Soz love

Hey, does anyone have some suggestions about question 13 at the very end of the exam, what is an extraneous variable in this case? In naming it could it be right to say..."differences amongst particiapants that could affect DV"
Coz that doesn't seem like a name.. more of an explanation, was their a correct term to use?
Thanks!!!

Wooo, sorry unrelated but Costargh, u seriously got 5 50's?
Thats so impressive!!!!

why would he be wasting his time commenting on an exam he didn't sit. I  reckon hes bullshitting his 99.95!

[TrueLight]

well you can easily find his enter score if you search the forum

[costargh]

rofl guys relax. its just an inside joke. My highest score was a 47

Yeah at first glance I thought it was D, because I didn't read the fact that she had a pacemaker.

That question would be quite interesting to hear what the examiners think. It'd probably will get taken out.

It was confusing but I think it was a good question where you really had to think. You knew you had to choose between fMRI and PET because they were the only ones that showed function. Then you had to choose between her fear of needles and her life.

PET was definitely the right answer.

VCAA are accepting any answer for question 13 - none of the options were correct

[Hunter]

But PET was right. The people who are crying foul didn't think about it properly. I thought it was a good question. There is a logical process that leads you to the right answer.

I nearly put selection because of the photoreceptors only responding to certain wavelengths of light but 5 minutes before the exam ended I rushed back to the question and put reception as light has to enter the eye before anything else can happen.

If the answer was transduction I would call it unfair as visual perception meaning perception separated from sensation, and visual perception meaning the entire process are completely dependent on context, and no context was provided.
