23? I thought the whole objective of split brain was to stop seizures, yeah it does stop the transfer between the hemispheres, but he would be subjected to the surgery for that, he would undertake the surgery to stop seizures, or am i just interpreting the question wrong?

Q.9 is c I think mate

[StupidProdigy]

Q.24 was very interesting and has been discussed in the other thread a bit, it really depended on how the person read the question...i assumed it meant the whole lifespan (infancy to elderly) therefore I chose b

[minith]

Well, here's my reasoning for those questions:
Q9 - problem-focused coping is where one feels that they have control, hence they will attempt to manage the problem
- hence redefining the stressor is an example of that.
escape-avoidance would be more suitable for emotional-focused coping, because they feel they have no control over their problems and will try to avoid thinking about it.

Q23
I narrowed it down to either A or D. For A - severing the corpus callosum will not prevent an epileptic seizure from initiating. Instead it was first used to prevent the electrical impulses from travelling to the other hemisphere. Which is why I chose D even thought it wasn't a perfect answer.

Q24
As adolescents experience ~20% REM and the elderly also experience ~20% REM, the only valid option was D. I've read those statistics in several different sources (e.g. A+ notes and the Grivas textbook), so that's my reasoning for choosing D.

For question 4, isn't the answer repression ? That's what I wrote..my reasoning was that in the question it said that she was unable to remember..which sort of told me that she had unconsciously repressed those memories and so even when she tried to think about it she couldn't. I know it said everytime she said that she didn't want to think about it, but when it said she was unable to remember, I thought it was unconscious ? Can someone please clarify ! I think I lost like 34209 marks here

OMFG! I thought q.9 said emotion focused...ahhhhhhh crap (thought the same thing in th exam)!

I think the answer had to be suppression because the question states that she didn't want to think about it, which therefore implies that it is conscious. Suppression is voluntary - you are unable to remember because you don't want to, whereas repression is involuntary - you are unable to remember it because the memory is too distressing.

Anyone up for discussion on multiple choice question 7 + 34?
For 7 i was tossing up C & D but I don't remember what I chose.
For 34 i chose C at first and switched it to B last minute.

Short answer question 7 - what examples did people put of a bloody acrostic for this? I turned it into "posh" the acronym then make it something like "people only shake hands" or something. Is that right?


Umm and the Edward question... where everybody is talking about social learning? I said trial and error? Is that wrong >.<


Short answer question 10?

15c? What the hell was the point of the preivous two questions? I just said this demonstrates that each part of the brain controls the opposite side of the body. Eh???



I am so bloody annoyed I made at least 10 stupid errors on multiple choice and screwed myself.
