2010 Psychology Exam 1 Discussion

[rudaid]

i don't think it said eye activity (but i did EOG anyway so im happy either way!)

[extcar]

i hope it didnt say eye activity! cos i picked EEG
but far out i forgot to describe how it is in REM sleep i only said it detects amplifies and records electirical activity of the brain, i totally forgot to talk about the REm and NREM fudge !! reckon ill still get marks ?? :D

[matt123]

it said .. in relation to rem sleep
how would it be distinguished . all u needed to say for EOG is .. high electrical activity of muscles controlling the eyes

[extcar]

i guess not then LOL
this thread makes me depressed !!
I HATE YOU VCAA

[Tashi]

Did the questions say distinguish REM sleep from NREM sleep? because all i put was 'increased electrical activity' and didn't really describe it further..

Haven't read the thread yet, not sure if I should demotivate myself so soon.

However,

wtf is with the MC question distinguishing between sensation and perception.

[extcar]

totally forgot, i cant even remember what i wrote
and i dont remember whether it said in relation to REM activity either, i just described it. HOPEFULLY IT DIDNT. i swear they didnt bold the words as much as they use to in the previous years. or was it just me ?lol

[psych93]

Hold on, I don't remeber whether they said in relation to eye movements
but i do remember reading 'there are a number of devices used to dinstinguish REM from NREM' or something like that
so im hoping that there was more than one possible answer.. not only EOG

I said the one where perception is a cognitive process. But I thought in this study design, there was no distinction between sensation and perception and perception was considered to be the whole visual process.

[lolbox]

this thread is a massive demotivation lol

I did psychology as my 3/4 last year and got a 39 after screwing up my end of year. Wasn't too happy with my SS, so decided to repeat it lol.
This year I was aiming for 41+ in order for it to be in my top 4. I got an A+ for my midyear last year and a B+ for my end of year but looks like I'm at a worse position this year. Highly doubt I'll get an A+ in this one. Guess I have to pick up my work load in methods and try and get that in my top 4 cause I screwed up this exam :S

Gay

lol

yea thats what I did. the cognition one

[minilunchbox]

There was nothing about it relating to eye movements. It could've been any device including EEG, EMG.

Also THANK YOU VN, BECAUSE I WAS TOTALLY PERUSING THE THREAD ON PET SCAN SHOWING FUNCTION LAST NIGHT.

AND THEN IT WAS PART OF THE FIRST QUESTION.

I found that amusing during reading time.

-----

I'm pretty sure I said perception was a cognitive process. I can't remember my reasoning. It was probably something ridiculous that popped up in the midst of  my panic

[Tashi]

I'm very curious to see what will be in the assessor's report...

But it appears many people found it more difficult so don't worry too much!
