2010 Psychology Exam 1 Discussion

[Tashi]

Is the question really actually on the study design?? It says 'research on intact brains' not split-brain. Also the question about walking into a cinema... was that it takes time for the rods and cones to increase sensitivity??? Dark adaption isn't technically on the study design either....

EDIT:

This says that coordination is the same, but memory can be affected.... arghhhhh

[zzzzzz]

dammnnnnn

[Hongld]

Yay ^_^ :O

[Tashi]

Honestly how were we meant to know that? I was just looking in my textbook and there's nothing about it. Wikipedia says we still have coordination because of other connections between the cerebral hemispheres... and we haven't studied memory yet so I don't actually know how it works yet... *sigh*

You can get the answer from elimination. That's the only way to how I got the answer..

I guess but we weren't really taught about the interactions between the cerebral hemispheres in a split-brain patient...

That's the question I was referring to

My teacher went through all the tests on split-brain patients and how the hemispheres interact during the tests. Thank goodness ..

yeah the split brain question was very hard and I did spend around 10 mins on it
however I eliminated the obviously wrong answers
i knew coordinating movement was not affected from this thread I made a while back

same i am pretty p1ssed about the corpus callosum question. it wasnt even on the study design.
i suppose there is some chance that the assesors realize that and remove the question some incy wincy chance atleast
