Psych U4 Q's Thread!

[monkeywantsabanana]

Hey guys, I've been struggling through MC  so I've decided the answers are wrong and I'm here to ask you to confirm

Here we go:

Learning involves:
A. a lasting change in behaviour due to experience
B. a more or less permanent increase in knowledge
C. thinking and planning
D. all the above

Answer is D - since when does learning involve thinking and planning?

Strangely, even a "simple phobia" is referred to as a "complex behavioural response", this is because phobias are:
A. created by CC and maintained and strengthened by OC
B. created by OC and maintained and strengthened by CC
C. created by latent learning and maintained and strengthened by OC
D. created by CC and maintained and strengthened by Observational Learning

Answer is D - shouldn't it be A?


Many papers ask statistics about the proportion of the Australians who have mental disorders etc etc, DO WE NEED TO KNOW THIS?

In STAV, there's a question on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory... What on earth?

I might have asked too many questions but any help would be appreciated.

What paper is it? Maybe dodge.

Never heard of it but in googleing I found it was

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) is one of the most frequently used personality tests in mental health. The test is used by trained professionals to assist in identifying personality structure and psychopathology.

TRIALS FOR TEACHERS.

I always thought they had pretty good papers - The MC was pretty hard imo.

And thanks MeLucky.

Question 11
Strangely, even a “Simple phobia” is referred to as a “complex behavioural response”, this is because phobias are
Answer:   A.   created by classical conditioning and maintained and strengthened by operant conditioning

Question 28
Susan’s participants, when experiencing their phobic responses, will show high levels of
Answer:   D.   GABA and adrenaline
N.B. This question was originally intended to show that during treatment GABA is increasing and adrenaline is decreasing. This is not clearly stated in this question. Students will probably get the correct answer by identifying the hormone and neurotransmitter most involved, but this would be a valid point for discussion.

Question 31
Susan could reasonably conclude that
Answer:   A.   therapeutic intervention using systematic desensitization or CBT results in significant decrease in phobic anxiety

Question 45
Which of the following is not a valid criticism of Lazarus’ transactional model or of Selye’s General Adaptation Syndrome?
Answer:   D.   Both Selye’s and Lazarus’ model deal only with negative stressors

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) is one of the most frequently used personality tests in mental health. The test is used by trained professionals to assist in identifying personality structure and psychopathology.

In the Grivas textbook, the MMPI comes up on page 574-575 in the diagrams, showing it as an example of a dimensional approach to classification of mental conditions and disorders

But surely we don't have to know it for the exam, but maybe just remember it as an example of a dimensional approach

Question 28
Susan’s participants, when experiencing their phobic responses, will show high levels of
Answer:   D.   GABA and adrenaline

If a phobia/anxiety is reasoned to be due to a LACK of GABA, then how then will a person show high levels of GABA? I got this wrong too

But thanks for the erratum, it helped cleared up things a lot.

So... learning DOES involve planning and thinking? - from the first MC.

[REBORN]

Some learning does involve thinking and planning (common sense) but the way the question is phrased suggests ALL learning involves it which is why I put A.

Poor question.

[roxannie136]

hows everyone feeling about the exam in a week? 

[amilss]

Stressed, but excited, sooo, eustress?

I just want it to be over

[watto_22]

I feel that I knew Unit 3 much better, but then i just smashed a practice exam so i guess it's going fine

I just want it to be over

my thoughts exactly..

[playsimme]

Same.. ^ I didnt really learn perfect definitions this time around ..

[monkeywantsabanana]

Same.. ^ I didnt really learn perfect definitions this time around ..

yea haha neither - i think it's because they're so long!!! categorical approach/dimensional approach/mental health/mental illness and it's so long because you don't know which parts of the definition will get you marks so you include everything!

I agree with amilss! I just want this over and done with !

[playsimme]

But I guess it's an advantage. Learnt 100 definitions for unit 3 used only 1 for the exam and look where the fuck that got me.. everything but bloody aphasia. FML

[REBORN]

erm? EEG/EOG/Aphasia/Context dependent/Retro/pval/change blindness

Pretty much definition answers.
