Exam thoughts

[Verbyla]

No its not correct as the association between work and this feeling of anxiety was never extinguished, he avoided going to work so that feeling was only avoided.
The next time he goes back he will still get the feeling of anxiety

my mate he got A+ on the mid years yeah, and he's got highest sac scores in our school.. he put PIE GRAPH for that question.. my teacher said it was right!

i wrote bar graph, so maybe if a pie graph was write so was a bar graph here hoping

after the midyear did eriny or someone post sample answers to the exam??
i think i remember something about that- good idea

Yeh Eriny and Nick did.
im just scanning in the exam now. shouldnt be too long
would be awesome for sample answers

[sonnypls]

In need of placebo.
any researchers care to help me?

[FromOutside50]

im quite certain spontaneous recovery did not occur, as whenever the CS was present, the UCS was present all the time. Therefore extinction never occured. But hey, thats just my thoughts!

Also, can anyone else confirm that it was OK to put withdrawal rights on the last question? And also, in the statistically difference question, was it sufficient to say "yes" or did you have to say  "yes, as p < 0.05"?  Cheers!

Given that it was a 1 mark question and they only gave us one line to write the answer I'd assume all you needed was yes, although I put down because the probability that chance blablabla too, just to be safe

[Verbyla]

Withdrawal rights was a correct answer for the last question and i assume 'yes' was ok for the last question as it was only worth one mark and usually this means they want an answer which doesn't always need an explanation

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.

QUESTION 8: IN TERMS OF OPERANT CONDITIONINGM STATE WHAT TYPE OF CONSEQEUNCE WAS RECIEVED BY.....

Emphasis on the Consequence. Operant conditioning refers to the principle that enables us to repaet desirable consequences, or avoid undersiable consequences.

Reinforcement or punishment is applied to the consequence and only used to strengthen or weaken beahviour.

So would it be acceptable if i put Positive consequences (reinforcement), negative consequences (punishment) etc.

[hopelessxhearts]

Pretty sure Spontaneous Recovery didnt occur, because the feeling of anxiety in association with his work was never extinguished..just avoided in James case.

Umm yeah I think that'd be fine, would mine be wrong then?

oops posted too late

[Aurelie.]

The reason why I put down spontaneous recovery...

Spontaneous recovery refers to the reappearance of a conditioned response (anxiety) after a period where the response was thought to be extinguised (the period when he was at home).

Argh

I did that too. hmm.. I hope its right! I want that A+ damn it!

i am soooooooooooooooo glad psych is over
just thought id say ...

[sisqo1111]

me too lol

Haha yeah, I'll miss it though, it was my fav subject this year

[Verbyla]

                Classical Conditioning                                                   Operant Conditioning
The reinforcer is the UCS and this precedes the response   The reinforcer follows the desired response

People think that reinforcement can only be used in operant conditioning but it is used in both and comes in the for of negative and positive reinforcement in both cases

I'm pretty sure this is correct
