[sillysmile]

lost at least 3 mc questions here..

[jinny1]

I lost 1 on mc but lost quiet a few in Memory section of SA im still excited for my SS though

[Nat...]

Would declarative memory be accepteped for 1a?

[littlebecc]

omg, with bombs short answers i think i only got around 5 marks wrong.
and one multi choice wrong.
wow. awesome.

[extcar]

nooo i forgot to provide an example of retention. thats like one easy mark gone. GOSH i hate exams

[BilzaLM]

Seeing as (some) people are debating whether the first question is semantic or episodic, reckon they'll accept declarative? haha.

[anthonyhurst]

for retrieval failure theory, i put that according to the semantic network theory, all nodes in memory are interconnected and interrelated therefore there should be several retrieval cues for each node therefore one faulty cue or inability to locate one cue should not affect retrieval?

does that sound ok to anybody :|

I was thinking for question 1.
It specifically mentions "they had never attended a school reunion or had contact with eachother since primary school"
Is this trying to hint that it's semantic rather than episodic .  I dunno

[Glockmeister]

Heh - I was going to do some suggested solutions, but it appears that bomb's gotten to it first.

I think it's a sign that folks here are going to do well.

In regards to question 6, I think it's D. Isn't being able to remember some sort of memory which may only be produced every so often a disproof of decay theory?

Well procedural memories are repeated very often so their memory trace remains strong hence why amnesiacs often remember procedural memories because they don't decay.

Personally I hope they allow D, because in the exam I put D. But after I realise that B is probably right. We'll have to wait and see what roger thinks...

[notes90]

I'd lol if they want declarative

i wrote declarative and then explained for both episodic and sematic

[notes90]

for retrieval failure theory, i put that according to the semantic network theory, all nodes in memory are interconnected and interrelated therefore there should be several retrieval cues for each node therefore one faulty cue or inability to locate one cue should not affect retrieval?

does that sound ok to anybody :|

hope so i got somthing like that

isnt it that its not actually forgetting because once the right retrieval cue is located then it is not forgotten

Does the SA stuff look about right? :S

[Slumdawg]

did anyone do informed consent for the last question/s?

Yup. I did informed consent and withdrawal rights.
