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

Nope, the question is basically asking what would be placed on the informed consent document.

Nope, the question is basically asking what would be placed on the informed consent document.

I talked about how it would have to include the nature and purpose of the study and any risks involved and this needed to be communicated or expressed BEFORE the experiment. I don't see how that could be wrong :S

I think informed consent is fine. How could they justify that it's wrong? Without informed consent they wouldn't know anything about the experiment and that's not ethical..

"Name two ethical considerations that need to be explained to participants" was the question, you don't explain informed consent, you just do it

[Tashi]

I put 'the nature and risks of the study' because I felt putting 'informed consent' sounded awkward.

hmm we'll see. You still need to explain the stuff otherwise how can they be informed?

I guess they'll accept it though.

Informed Consent is fine. The question asked what ethical considerations have to be explained to the participants. You have to consider that informed consent is more than just signing a piece of paper (particularly if you're doing research with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse populations, for example, migrants, illiterate (absolute or functional) people etc). It's about explaining to the participants what is going to be happening to them as they do the experiment and ensuring that they know what they are getting into.

GLOCKMEISTERRR...

please tell bomb SA Q1a. is SEMANTIC memoryy !

I'd also like to know if this is correct. I wrote semantic memory as my answer and I think it should be right. Please tell me it is! D:

[masonnnn]

looking up things on the net in like, psychological things that are further than VCAA technically names are part of... 'personal semantic memory' yet because for unit3/4 we learn anything personal=episodic i'd think they'd just give 'declarative memory'

[Slumdawg]

They'll probably accept declarative, episodic, and semantic.

Personally I chose semantic because a name is a fact, not an experience. I understand how you could argue each of them. But at the end of the day, it comes down to how well you explained your answer. If it was well justified you will get the marks... UNLESS you said procedural haha.

Don't stress guys, psychology assessor's aren't THAT horrible haha.

[rasangi]

^ ya, but it says explain the findings, so do you just describe what the graph shows? like intepret it ?

i dont think so
