[Rizzle]

i would love to get a copy of the exam

what was the answer to the multiple choice question about the nail polish?

punishment or negative reinforcement?

[dizzy09]

i had 11a and 33a.. the rest the same

[forsaken231]

33 is associating a negative stimulus (the nail polish) with the undesired behaviour (biting), it's like aversion therapy, and therefore is classical conditioning, so the answer is "Unconditioned stimulus" or C

With 11 the Answer is B because, like in past VCAA exams, for example, question 18 from VCAA 2008

"Question 18
Matilda is 75 years of age. She is fi t and healthy and is not suffering from brain disease or injury.
Over the last few years, Matilda has most likely
A. performed more poorly on recognition tasks than previously.
B. found it diffi cult to learn new material.
C. found it diffi cult to remember procedural memories.
D. not experienced large memory losses."

"24% of students chose option B, which would have been a
correct response if the question had not clearly stated that
this was a healthy elderly person. The inability to learn new
material is one of the early signs of dementia."

Therefore the answer to 11 is B

11 B as well
16 A


VCAA = FAIL

Question 17
The visual-spatial sketchpad is

everyone should get this one right because they misprinted something that does not exist.

[Nelle]

I stated question 16 C due to the fact that they state that he repeated the items in order. I thought this might have eliminated recency effect.
Other than that I have the exact same as you.  

[sophx]

for the reserach experiment, did you guys say that a generalisation could be made based on the sampling procedures?

[Dark Templar]

Haha at question 17.

I thought that I had been incorrectly calling it the visuo-spatial sketchpad the entire time and while still in the exam momentarily realised my embarrassment for all the times I had said it.

I don't think it should be removed though. It's very clear what it means. If someone got that question wrong because of that spelling mistake I would wager they had a learning disability. It's kind of annoying when a question is removed and everyone gets it right, bringing people who didn't study properly one mark closer to you, where a question you might have got wrong is left in.

don't take my word for it, im your average student BUT

conditioning

i interpret it as either operant/classical conditioning principles.
thus

nasty tasting substance in this case is the

According to a taste aversion, the drug that causes nausea acts as a UCS because the nausea drug taking alone would cause the UCR. the CS is the cigaratte and CR is feeling nausea. i spent 1minute on that second thinking about taste aversion. probaly incorrect though :S

meh. what if im a international student[im not LOL] and can't use my semantic memory to interpret that well due to my native language being a negative transfer on skills .

i wrote it cannot be generalised due to convenience sampling, first 100 applicants that replied... thus were not selected at random. I THINK. oh dear me . another 2 marks gone? zee zee zee.

[sophx]

mm i wasn't sure, thats what i thought, but others thought that because he sent a letter out to all of the population that they all had an equal chance of being selected? hmm

[ngRISING]

bah. 5 marks gone. there goes the A+ .

[Dark Templar]

They didn't though, participants who had more members in their family had a higher chance of getting the letter quicker for example, maybe some people were busy etc etc. For it to not be a biased sample each member of the population must have an equal chance of being selected for the sample.
