I liked the Multiple Choice a lot.

Short Answers were alright as well.

Stuffed up Extended Response.

Did you pick up on the Extended Response, that Q1-Q4 were relating to the information provided and it was a Case Study. Then Question 5 was a completely new thing and was an Experiment that you had to create.

Question 3 was the hint for it.

I stuffed it. I didnt notice the shift and I tried to fit a research report on the case study. Sigh.

I found the multiple choice questions pretty easy. There were a few hard short answers but nothing too bad. Messed up section C quite a bit though. Didn't time myself properly so I only had 10 minutes to scribble like crazy. Went in there hoping for a 45, came out hoping for a 40. Hahaha sigh.

Yes! I can't imagine how many people it would have thrown off, the beginning of the 10 marker started off with information about the experiment. I wonder how many people would have gone and written about the case study :/

sly vcaa, real sly!

I had finished multiple choice and short answers fairly early and had 40 minutes to plan and answer the extended response but if I didn't have extra time I would have been writing until the last minute.

I almost did.

I wrote about it, and then crossed it out. Good luck to my examiner marking it. There was a couple of things I didn't have time to change. :(

Multiple choice for me was really straight forward, struggled on a few short answers and section c was quite challenging under limited time

Multiple choice was fine, but felt the Short-Answer section was quite long. What did you guys put for the Roger/Toby question? I could only think of interference!

I wrote about the process of consolidation and how information may not have consolidated in memory because of the one hour of politics study. Completely improvised!

I wrote that retroactive interference would occur because the content is similar

I wrote about interference and consolidation theory; hopefully that's right!

What did you all think about the question about flooding and aversion therapy? I wrote something pretty crazy for why aversion therapy wouldn't be used:
- (Devika? I forget) may learn to associate an aversive stimulus with dogs, causing her to fear them more
- Aversion therapy is used to teach someone not to do something

And I just invented an answer for the flooding one!

Same, but that's only 1 reason. I put consolidation theory as my 2nd reason but I don't think I explained it very well..

What about the three reasons why it is operant not classical? Might have stuffed that one up :(
