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.

Hmmm... that's interesting.
Well let's say it was 6 days for cats - then 30X 6 days ==> 180 days ~6 months? That wasn't a choice :/

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. I guess thats akin to the good old "choose the best answer."

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

Do you remember what the whole question was for the "critical period for abuse in childhood?" I put pre-school (social cognition develops at around three years), but think option A was earlier in life, which might be a better response depending on what the question was.

It's either 'first year of life' or 'pre school'. I chose pre school.

I chose the earliest possible option (which I don't remember what it was). During the exam I remembered the 'Child of Rage' video Peter had in his slides, in which abuse to a girl in the first few years of her life completely changed her early infancy behavior.

I'm fairly sure that was the 1st year of life tbh.

I got the other one wrong - the self referential one

this seems key to answering the question (aka, how much is 'few years'). it's a vague question and we shall never know!

On hindsight, I would argue that the '(...)or even seen' in the sentence 'The “critical period” for normal adult social behaviours is not when these behaviours are taught or modeled or even seen' strengthens the first option. But I'm honestly not sure.

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

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

Wernicke's area IS near the parietal cortex... Not a massive transgression. But it said to assume it was true anyway, so moot point. I'm going to stop looking at the thread now - I don't want to know just how many questions I got wrong (given I ruined the neurofilament tau and MRI MS ones despite KNOWING THE ANSWERS 100%, I don't think I've done too flash). Regarding the social behaviour q, I picked 1st yr of life but don't remember him giving any precise time. I really hope they do quality control for this exam :S so many iffy interpretation-based questions, and some of them relied on grammatical/orthographical errors which is a bit unfair.

I was wondering if anyone still have downloaded lecture recordings of NEUR30003?? I'm sitting a supplementary exam for it sometime in the next few weeks. thanks

?? i thought you could just log on the LMS to download them?

The changes to the LMS for the past few days have meant the link to the lecture recordings is gone for all subjects

Sorry to hear that man >_<
Have you got none of the lectures?

[Buddyball]

I downloaded every lecture from lecture 1 to lecture 20, unfortunately I didn't do that for lecture 21 onwards....

[kensan]

Yup I've got them, could give them to you on a USB if you're in the city tomorrow

that would be awesome! unfortunately, I can't private message you on atarnotes. I'll be in the ERC at uni tommorow at around 1-2, if it wouldn't be too much of a hassle for you.
