Psychologists! What's your diagnosis?

[melaniej]

Most were
there were some dodgy one's though

Question 14 had me stumped.
About which is the sympathetic NOT dominant over.
I had it down to Increase in Salivation and Relaxation of Lungs etc...
I put the salivation one in the end, when there was about 20 seconds left!

I wrote relaxation of airways.

I'm pretty sure it was salivation, because when you are aroused and what not, your mouth goes all dry.
And your airways dilate to let more in, so that WOULD be controlled by sympathetic.

and there was a question about neglect syndrome

Serious? Teachers will be really pissed about that. They shouldn't have been allowed to test that.

 why shouldnt they test it?


it was pretty easy anyways

and there was a question about neglect syndrome

Serious? Teachers will be really pissed about that. They shouldn't have been allowed to test that.

It was only a Multiple Choice, asking which lobe and hemisphere it would occur. And it didnt say neglect syndrome. It said damage to what area of the brain would result in neglecting the left side of the body...
or soemthing like that

whether it said it or not, the question was still basically about neglect syndrome

So was it Parietal or Frontal?

[melaniej]

Parietal - right hemisphere

[misskaraleah]

Parietal. Because a function of the Parietal Lobe is Kinestisia.

[KeyMan]

Damn! I had parietal at first but considered that the motor cortex was in the frontal lobe and since the body was neglected I pictured it as not moving so I chose frontal.

[melaniej]

Its not about not being able to move the body, its not being aware that its there.
parietal is responsible for position etc...

Because under the old study design, "neglect syndrome" was an actual dot point and it was taken off under the new design.

[melaniej]

It still has to do wiht the function of the lobes though doesnt it?

[Nick]

True, it's related to the lobes but it would be unwise of them to test the knowledge using the actual term "neglect syndrome".

[melaniej]

does anyone have a copy of the exam?

[Nick]

I second that statement lol

[melaniej]

Mmmm when we got out of our exam, our teachers had a copy of the exam, that they had answered while we were in the exam!
I was too scared to go through it though!

[Nick]

Hopefully someone will turn up with a copy lol. I really want to go through it.
