r u serious... lol cool

Did anyone else find the visual perception multis incredibly easy (apart from the one off Ames Room Q)

I think they really tried to tone it down this year cause of all the poor results in it from previous years......

What did people right for the slanting of the floor of the Ame's room in the MC? I chose the one with "the floor doesn't slant but the ceiling does".

i think you're correct on that one buddy coz i went to visit the aimes room at the museum and the floor was fine but the roof was slanted

[j.el-halabi]

For the Brocas question
So 100% the answer is slow and deliberate? Cause my teacher thinks otherwise, C.

i think your teacher is correct. Can anybody justify why it wouldn't be correct? They would stutter due to being unable to pronounce words properly, therefore having to try extra hard to pronounce words.

Hey guys you know with that question about Kirk and Emma- Jane or whatever the names were, is it ok if i just say the ambiguous figure was perceived as being either an old or young lady due to their predisposition to ignore ceratin aspects of the stimulant and interpret what they wanted based on the context that the ambiguous figure was percieved in??? without giving all those examples that everybody gave about kirk coming from a retirement village and so on..?

I don't think I need to justify the slow part, because everyone knows its slow. But for the deliberate part.


Book:
Psychology by Grivas, Carter, Down

Page 75, Blue Box 1 titled: Damage to Broca's area and effects on speech
Quote first sentence of 2nd paragraph: "Damage to Broca's area often produces speech that is very deliberate"

I don't think you would get full marks for that because you had to make up an example for there situation. You didn't explain how context was applied (IE - Was Kirk shown images of elderly people before he saw the ambiguous figure). So I doubt you'd get any marks for just that description.
But if you put context in the first part of that question, you'd get the mark for that

yeh i mentioned that Kirk and Emma were exposed to the ambigous figure in different contexts and i used the example of old ladies and young ladies respectively.. Oh well well just have to wait and see. Other than that pretty easy paper i say

what was the answer to:

"blahblahblah ESB can be used to map motor/somatosensory cortex blahblah.  why isnt it used often today?"

[psychlaw]

Because it cannot be used on the healthy population, due to ethical purposes

Simpler terms: You wouldn't want someone slicing up your skull while your awake, and touching your open brain just for a few tests of where things are

But if someones already having surgery, or if they have brain damage, then it can be used

Yeah, it's invasive, and there are now better methods for looking at brain function.
