2010 Psychology Exam 1 Discussion

resistance too

What does the sympathetic system do in third stage of GAS ?
I had trouble with that one.

And multiple choice, the question about the guy that can say the word 'accident' but unable to verbally express meaningful word what did people put?
Broca's or Wernickes?

I just said like the sympathetic NS will have depleted all of its resources in maintaining resistance to the stressors for an extended period of time and consequently in the exhaustion stage her bodily resources will have been depleted and she would be almost unable to combat stressors further

and I did Wernicke's area, because he could pronounce the word but not give it meaning

OKay, I considered Broca's first but re-read the question and then I thought Wernicke's makes more sense.
And that's a fail for me with the symphathetic .. I said it continued to release cortisol lol Person must be superhuman +_+

Brocas aphasia- not able to product/pronounce, able to comprehend
Wernicke's - able to product/pronounce, not able to comprehend

Hmm I found most difficult question was the why CT and PET scans were both used. Started guessing.

PET - shows functionality, so can see if any function damage
CT - shows strucure, so can see actual tumor or damaged areas

how many questions can you get wrong on average in order to get like an A?
fuck man, i'm depresso now lol

I think it's because the CT scan which provides structural information of the brain, would've detected if the tumour had been successfully removed or not, and the PET scan which provides functional information of the brain would've detected the functioning of the brain after the removal of the tumour. I wasn't entirely sure..

Well the cut off last year for unit 3 for an A+ was 79/90

and for an A was 74/90

[lolbox]

i did exhaustion for that stage because when she got ill she had already resisted the disease which is how she got over the headaches

and her resources were depleted/immune system weakened. thus she got ill in exhaustion.

some multis really threw me, the short answer was ok

[babygurl]

Hmm, but I thought she had recovered and then went back to work, so hence she "initially" contracted the flu in resistence.. and then during exhaustion she collapsed mentally and pshyically later on.

littlebec u should've got the CT and PET question correct cos' we discussed it on the forum a few days ago!

[littlebecc]

I did boots dw i'm not worried about that question
i'm worried about others ;\
and i'm pissed off that the things i studied for weren't in there. There was basically no brain questions IMO

[cdjm92]

immune system is lowered in resistance too, initially contracted it during resistance (another stressor), it tipped her over the edge into exhaustion

[rudaid]

what was the answer for the mc question on perception?
i wasn't sure if it was B or C

[Hongld]

Hmm, but I thought she had recovered and then went back to work, so hence she "initially" contracted the flu in resistence.. and then during exhaustion she collapsed mentally and pshyically later on.

Exactly. I put resistance stage.
If it was exhaustion she wouldn't have the energy to go back to work.

My net connections crap, so i'll leave now...
Please post any answers you have (if you wrote them down) and compare them with mine, ill come back tonight or tomoz
