Exam thoughts

negative I mean.
EVERYONE TO THE CHAT ROOM!

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?

correct

[mskwmskw]

the p value deemed the results to be statistical signifance, therefore generalisations can be made.....?

[sonnypls]

they can't be made, because the sample (all females in group 1 and all males in group 2) made the sample unrepresentative of the population.

[Verbyla]

I said that James received a negative reinforcement as the unpleasant feeling of anxiety had been removed and this lead to an increase in him taking sick days

[mskwmskw]

yeah fairanough then....
group A would remember the most? 2nd question in memory
Indepedent group design was used?
what would gayles and lukes father do next time?

[cathtacular]

i had the same answers for the lukes family question
i was so confused by the descriptive statistics i left it to last and put down something random like graphs...
i wrote the results couldnt be generalized to the sampled population because of the variables other than the iv (the only one gender in each group thing) and it couldnt be genralized to the wider population because of the age/intellegance levels etc etc
i said spontanious recovery didnt occor
anyone have the exam??

[cathtacular]

i said group a would remember most because they used context cues and recognition.

[nickalaz]

group A because of
context dependant cues and
recognition being more sensitive than recall

gayles and lukes father would repeat his behavour (send one to room, other allow to play) - because negative reinforcement meant the removal of an unpleasant stimulus (argument) strengthened his response..

[Verbyla]

What was the overall feeling of the exam for everyone???
I didn't feel that the exam was hard, it was straight forward with there not being any little surprises

[Lulu]

Doh guess I got the spontaneous recovery question wrong then >_<

mskwmskw:

I got those answers too

I put down: Gayle will less likely argue with Luke in a similar situation again, as punishment has weakened that behaviour from occuring. In a similar situation, the dad would apply punishment again as that behaviour has been strengthened by negative reinforcement (removal of the annoying stimulus, noise).

[mskwmskw]

yeah i said that the father would repeat his actions.

[cathtacular]

i didnt talk about the kids in that question just the fathers behaviour was that wrong.?

[Lulu]

Is it still possible to get an A+ if I lost around 4-5 marks on the short answer?

Cath:
It would be correct as it only asked for the dad's behaviour.

[sonnypls]

some people thought instead of the father they were speaking about Luke and Gayle.
ouch.
