What was the imaging? MRI for MS is all I can remember.

2-3 MC questions i think, something about the one with the best temporal resolution? Can't remember the other one. Probably easy questions with obvious answers but I hate those topics so much I just avoided them completely

Is anyone else mad how much of the first half of the course they left out? Like I know we already got tested on that but the exam is worth 70% like..... mix it up lol

Anyway all we can do now is hope for the best

omg Peter sucks I put MRI but changed it impulsively to CAT because it was pluralised and didn't fit grammatically JUST LIKE HOW HE HAS ERRORS ALL OVER HIS SLIDES and I was stupid enough to pick grammar over the correct answer

I put in MEG for best temporal resolution (because there wasn't an EEG option, otherwise I would be confused).

I put in MEG for best temporal resolution (because there wasn't an EEG option, otherwise I would be confused).

MEG was the option in the list, but it has temporal resolution that is more or less equivalent to EEG. They both work in similar ways. The other three options were fMRI, CAT (I think?), and PET, all of which have very poor temporal resolution.

Yeah, there were so many grammatical and orthographical errors in the test. I was really surprised that they didn't pick those up.

Yeah, MRI for MS, the MEG / temporal resolution question, and maybe you can include the clinical diagnostic technique for PD since it's kind of related (not imaging per se though).

And, yes, it was a little surprising that so little of the course was on the test. Peter did say, however, that he would be emphasising the second half of the course...

[ChickenCh0wM1en]

Tbh I was expecting 25% 1st half, 75% 2nd half which would've made the assessment around 50%-50%.

But yeh, heaps fo spelling mistakes (i.e. motoneuron? LOL)

[MelonBar]

Daingit, my GPA will get pummeled. ^ 'motoneuron' is actually a word (well he wrote it on his lecture slides) but its one of those freaky ones that should not exist

For the last question (Q40.) of section B, where it asked for the critical period for the development of stereopsis in humans, the question said that the critical period for humans is 30x greater than that for cats. The answers were either in x? days?, 3? months, 3 years, or 9 years.

What did everyone go with?

I thought of lecture 2.1 (below), but lecture 10.2 will give you a different answer.

I went with 3 years (1month X30 --> 30 months ~3 years) - but it was a Kitchener question though (not from Colin Andeson so I picked that instaed of the 10.)

I get that it's Peter's question, but when we're presented with figures that don't match, then how is that fair?

EDIT: Also, where did you get the one month value from for kittens? Lecture 10.2 slides show that monocular deprivation takes 6 days at the most critical period, or 2.5 months from birth.

UGH not another wrong question picked 3 years as well, though 2.5 x 9 is 6.5 years, not 9. Dafuq

Yeah I know... I see this quite often with tests and alike at uni. Nobody bothers to check if all of the questions can be answered in a reasonable manner. You always get these questions that were either never taught ("mentioned in passing, set for reading" as people would probably claim ) or lack clear cut answers.

[REBORN]

I picked 9 years (same slide usage as nino).

Anyone else pick up that Statement 2 of Language said Wernickes area was located in PARIETAL Cortex....

What?!?! Haha, now that is ridiculous!

Was this from that series of three questions that you mentioned before?

[REBORN]

Yes. Statement 2 was about Broca's and Wernicke's area. However, the stem of the question said "assume the statement was true" so I think its a typo, - not testing whether you know the location of Wernickes.

What about critical period for abuse in childhood? pre school, teenager, etc?
