Psychologists! What's your diagnosis?

[psychlaw]

I said:
Over 50% Delta Waves
Night Terrors may occur


I'm unsure if the no rapid eye movement characteristic will count because its also a characteristic for every other NREM stage...

[jess3254]

for 2 characterisits of stage 4 sleep.... r these correct answers?
lowest physiological responses in any stage of sleep
no rapid eye movement

Yeah, that's pretty much what I wrote. Stage 4 is characterised by:
-Limited eye movement
-Any physiological response is low. (something like that)
(and generally delta-waves)

As for the exam, I was extremely happy! Didn't find it too difficult. A nice contrast to yesterday's exam! Our class had an end of unit 3 party after the exam it was fun.

in the 2005 exam i think... there was like 4 MC that had more then one correct answer

maybe it will be the same with this

a short answer in visual perception....
height in the visual field..... markets n stalls
what did people write for that one?

[KeyMan]

I wrote:

Relative size = "The painter could paint two adults in the painting, having one bigger than the other. We would expect both adults to be roughly the same size but the one that casts a larger image on the retina will be perceived as being closer than the one that casts a smaller image on the retina"

Height in the visual field = "The painter could paint one stall closer to the horizon and one further. The stall closer to the horizon will be perceived as being further away and the stall further away from the horizon will be perceived as closer"

I hate short answers, I know the answer but I can never word it correctly.

I wrote for Relative Size: The market shops and the shoppers near the front of the image would produce a larger retinal image then those who are further away (who would produce a smaller retinal image)

For Height in the Visual Field: The market shops and the shoppers who are the most distant would be painted closer to the horizon, and the ones who are the least distant are closer towards the front of the image

what i wrote was really similar to yours...although i'm not sure how clearly i expressed myself :S

where was my invite? I do unit 3 too

[moshi]

you did unit 3. it's over!!

[sonnypls]

hate life.

The Sykoloji was really easy, only problem is that the examiners will have to take marks off for really small and petty things to make an even spread because the stkoloji section of vcaa arent smart enough to realise that a harder exam will produce an even spread without the need of taking marks off for things that dont measure your knowledge, for example: im assuming they will take marks off for the sergio painter question if u did not make any reference to the actual door and the wall and what ever and you merely stated that "the contour of a figure is not noticeable thus the figure is harder to separate from the ground"

[amyminchin]

I liked that exam it was nice.
I think I did fairly well... the multiple choice=easy. Except stupid Ames Room.  but alas.


I said expectation for the ambigous figure one- emma jane had been told she was seeing a pic of a young woman and kirk had been told that the pic was an ambiguous pic so he looked for the old woman.

Age isn't a factor in the perceptual set is it? Isn't it only context, past experience, expectation and something else... maybe it is age? I dont know.

[jonny]

i dont think you can say age itself, you must elaborate and say that the older woman will hang around next to older ppl and so she will ahve a readiness to perceive the figure as an old lady cause of that. something like that maybe

[amyminchin]

Yeah. Did eeryone else find it uber short? I finsihed with like half an hour to spare and spent it annotating my question answer booklet (multiple choice section) with things like "kryptonite. lol. limitations- can't administer PET scan to superman" and such things while double checking everysingle question in the book. I made a stupid mistake in my prac exam (psychological/physiological. GAH!) so i looked over it abotu tne time for such mistakes.

Good luck for the GAT tomoz!
