2010 Psychology Exam 1 Discussion

I'm pretty sure its closure..

all the items were similar (all circles), and there were gaps in the stimuli, so you mentally closeup or fillin the gaps of the visual stimuli to perceive the image as a meaningful whole (a larger circle) ?

[lolbox]

closure will definitely work. and to be honest im not completely convinced with his similarity explanation...

anyway im gonna stop posting here. ive realised i screwed up this exam big time , might aswell cut my losses and stop wasting time fretting on these forums. cya everyone

[Nullisecundus]

agreed;

they could definately possibly pay both

but in all honesty, closure has a much higher chance of being paid then similarity.

[littlebecc]

try harder bitch

And also i think similarity would be more likely if there were other shapes there - there were only circles (with gaps).
however i think both will probably be awarded - provided you explain them well and relate it back

what did everyone get for physiological changes for asc?
i wasnt sure and one of them i said
loss of self control
any chance that is right?

I want August to come so I can see how I did. That's the crap thing about doing so many prac exams, you can correct them instantly with examiner's reports...

[extcar]

my friend said it was the decrease heart rate and blood flow and shit like that
i wrote something stupid like sleepiness or something, cant even remember

[psych93]

i said loss of control of bodily movements
and increased body temperature?
haha no idea if the 2nd one is right

Yes I got heaps of Ds at one point

Omg i could just not think at that point.... I said reduced coordination of body movements and acting in a less inhibited way (but that would be psychological probably)

Also... MC 1 was pretty basic I thought - cerebral cortex (c)...

[hawks08]

lol cant remember what my other one was. all i know is that it was off the top of my head and was guessed. proz and answer similar to my first

[alannah]

Body Temperature and GSR... there was a section of my lecture's notes on other physiological changed during ASC that stated them but i'm not sure as I think that they might be more directed at sleep :S
