what the fuck was with the goggles question :\

that was confusing. from memory i wrote somthing about moving the onject further away to test what the absolute threshold was. cant really remember though

[Hongld]

Hmm not sure, depends how many marks the ames room question was worth. I really wish someone could upload the exam!

I remember, it was 4 marks.

same hong
so bad

[babygurl]

Maybe, but I do know that it is definitely required to relate it back to the scenario, i.e. the father/witch/children etc. So it wouldn't be sufficient to say that one corner was double the distance of the other, you would have to relate it back to the given situation.

i know this was like the simplest question on the whole exam... but what psychological symptoms were of sleep deprivation?

i had a complete mental blank, but did irritability and varied emotional state but i'm not sure if that's a thing?

Haha yes that was weird !
I said something like he would inform he researcher of the maximum distance where he could detect the movement, and it would be procedure would be repeated and the researcher would identify the maximum distance at which he could detect the movement 50% of the time.
I had no idea !

I think I put lack of emotions and lack of concentration

I'm not sure, I did irratability and impaired memory.

that was confusing. from memory i wrote somthing about moving the onject further away to test what the absolute threshold was. cant really remember though

I wrote that the researcher should walk towards the soldier and have the soldier indicate when he can first detect movement. Repeat 10 times and and record the distance at which movement can be detected. The absolute threshold is the minimum (OMG should have said maximum arghhhh) distance at which movement is detected 50% of the time. :S

Also the Ames room, the thing about the peephole. I said it eliminates binocular vision but they were using a camera so it would be monocular vision anyway. I thought maybe it could have been something to do with the position of the peephole meaning the room appears rectangular.

Also, I was getting a lot of D's at one point in MC...

Eliminating binocular cues = monocular cues
And yeah thats what I put, that it intensified the illusion (as written in past vcaa exam)

Yeah but it said how does the peephole help with it or whatever. Considering they were using a video camera to film, no matter what they were filming it would be monocular. So I didn't know specifically how the peephole would help. But ohwell i put the thing about binocular vision being eliminated...

[hawks08]

i didnt get a mc question as B until 20 or so

What I meant was that by eliminating binocular vision it means that the person can only use monocular vision.
It's basically the same thing
