Exam thoughts

[Jurples]

How did everyone go?
It was mostly alright for me.. I had trouble with that short answer on Luke and his father (Q8?)

[mariaz]

it was not too bad. easier then i expected, but i think i stuffed up some silly questions

[FromOutside50]

Quick question..... the very last question on the paper.. the breach question. i originally wrote that he breached voluntary participation because he coerced people through the extra marks. however i changed with to that he didnt offer withdrawal rights, meaning that participates could withdraw themsevles, and their results, from the study at any time. There was no mention at  all of withdrawal rights in the question. What do you think? Could it be both?

[Verbyla]

Yeah both of those answers will considered correct as participants have to made aware that they have the right to withdraw and by that fact that the extra marks violate the voluntary participation aspect of the research

[85Holly]

they would have to give you a mark for both considering that they didnt include it in the exam.

i thought it was fairly okay to make up answers to questions you didnt know, m.c was a bit tricky though.

[FromOutside50]

you just made my day verbyla and holly lol. thanks

[mskwmskw]

mc was fairly easy.
some tricky short answers.
could the results be generalised and did she use random sampling?

[85Holly]

lol anytime.

yeah i screwed up that question bad. i had a major freaking mental blank and could only think of the ethical considerations that were already written so i said that the experimentor didnt way up the benefits of the experiment - so basically benifience.
shouldve studied.

i dont think the results could be generalised because they were only specific to that group of students, the experiment was not repeated etc. & i think she did use random sampling... well i dont know how it could have been anything else otherwise. hm?

I found multiple choice fairly straight forward.

Think I might have lost more than 4-5 marks on short answer though
The question with Gayle, Luke and the dad was a bit confusing. I put this down (order might be wrong):

Gayle: Punishment
Luke : Positive Reinforcement
Gayle and Luke's Dad: Negative Reinforcement

Also with James, did anyone else say that spontaneous recovery did occur? I think I got that one wrong.

The research investigation was quite easy, for the other descriptive statistic I wasn't sure what to put down, I guessed and put down/defined  'median'?

The results could not be generalised because the sample was not selected randomly, thus not representative of the population.

[FromOutside50]

I put those answers for Gayle, luke and the dad.

 I said spontaneous recovery did not occur, because the UCS never stopped being presented from the CS whenever he went to work, thus extinction did not take place. But i could be wrong, who knows?

[ilovesuck]

i put the results could not be generalised because of the confounding variable of sex of participants, rendering the results invalid.
 
is this a possible answer?

you cant generalise invalid results ... right?

[85Holly]

i dont think james did spontaneously recovered as he never overcame his fear in the first place, just avoided it kind of thing.

[sonnypls]

Bah.
I got learning set wrong, I thought it was learning how to make a model (learning how to learn) but no it was B; basketball impeding on the ability to play netball.

[mskwmskw]

what sort of reinforcement did james experience?
