Psych U4 Q's Thread!

They're the exact same thing - only use the term response cost. Negative punishment is just another confusing term which means the exact same thing. VCAA uses response cost so best to use response cost

[Camo]

ok. this is really frustrating me! what on earth is the difference between a response cost and a negative punishment? They both remove something to decrease the likelihood of a response, then why do they have difference terms?

Response cost and negative punishment are basically the removal of a stimulus that weakens a behaviour.
I havn't seen though anything in regards to separating them other than certain questions.

thanks. I'm very, very nervous for this exam. wasn't it you "camo" who said that this was one of the hardest exams for psychology that the examiner had seen?

[playsimme]

i don't understand how he could know - the exam is not seen by a teacher or examiner until 30 minutes after we first sit it, so no, nobody actually knows unless they wrote it, which they wouldnt be communicating to us at all

Reference to mid-year. He assumed that the end of year would be a lot easier.

It's bound to be easier. If the section C wasn't a 4/15 question the cut off would have been 77.

Now that I look back at it, the extended response seems like an ambiguous prompt for English (that I had done little preparation for).

Yeah the recently spoke to the chief assessor roger edwards, and he told me to always use response cost, it is the same thing as negative punishment. So i'd go with that.

[jwongton]

in the notes by roger edwards, it only mentions response cost, not negative punishment, so i guess that should be right.

Remember the examiner and assessor are too completely different groups of people. The exam was written it about March or something from the examiners, but the Roger is the head of marking, like he writes the Assessment report, so he would have the same idea that your teachers should have on whats on the exam, except he also is the one who determines whats right/wrong etc.

[playsimme]

Oh, so he writes the assessment report? You shoulda dissed his pathetic excuse of an assessment report which clarified nothing for me..  :\

[mjwalka]

Ha, well i guess we all have our rants.

Btw, any predictions/guesses on the Extended Response last year?
(Not that its that possible given last years..)
