Thanks! Does anyone know any company papers that can be bought by students, other than TSSM?

Can someone help me with these questions?

Do we need to know about the galvanic skin response, mnemonics, acrostics and about Bandura's Bobo doll experiment?

Also, when in altered state of consciousness, why is it easier to perform complex tasks than simple ones?

Thanks!!

I don't think we need to know about GSR, mnemonics, acrostics or the Bobo doll experiment. However, it would be good to know that mnemonics is a type of elaborative rehearsal. Also, I think that it's a good idea to have a brief knowledge of the Bobo doll experiment, but the study design doesn't have anything mentioning it.

Does eustress activate the sympathetic or the parasympathetic NS? There's a MC question from the epsych unit 3 trial exam which states eustress activates the parasympathetic NS, but I thought all stress would activate the sympathetic NS.

I believe that they have answered that incorrectly too

Hey guys!
I was just wondering if anyone knows where I can get some research methods resources? Worksheets maybe?
I'm not the best at research methods, but I'm definitely not the worst. I've already printed out the research methods sections from the past exams, as well as all the other trial exams I have. I was just hoping for some extra help before the exam
Thanks :-)

Thanks!!

I'm still having trouble with the reasoning behind this:

when in altered state of consciousness, why is it easier to perform complex tasks than simple tasks?

I thought it would be easier to perform simple tasks because it requires less awareness??

Simple tasks are monotonous, tedious, repetitive, and boring.
The sleep deprived person isn't as engaged in the activity as they would be for a complex task, and this is what leads to them making more mistakes on simple rather than complex tasks.

hey guys, has anyone done the sample exam? I need help with question 7eii)

In the conclusion section of her scientific poster, Amelia proposed that her investigation could be extended to find out whether the words in List 2 would be more easily remembered if they were presented alongside pictures; for example, if the word ‘sock’ was presented alongside a picture of a sock.
Predict the results of Amelia’s proposed extended investigation, using relevant psychological concepts to justify your response.

Pretty much before the list of words were being read out loud.

thank you!

I haven't done it yet but from what you described:

It would be expected that more words from list 2 would be accurately remembered

Seeing the pictures would increase elaborative rehearsal and therefore strengthen the neural connections related to that memory,  aiding recall

Hi guys,
Do we have to known about the NMDA and AMPA receptors?

Thanks

I think so, as part of glutamate's rule in learning.  It has been on trial exams I have completed

Hello! This is Jacaranda's explanation of extinction within classical conditioning - is there something wrong with it?  :o

Extinction is the gradual decrease in the strength or rate of a CR that occurs when the UCS is no longer presented.

"when the UCS is no longer presented" is a bit strange, I think a better way to explain extinction is to say
Extinction is the gradual decrease in the strength or rate of a CR that occurs when the CS appears repeatedly without the UCS.

In observational learning, how is it that the consequences are applied indirectly to the learner? If a consequence was self-reinforcement, wouldn't that directly strengthen the behaviour?

Thanks!
