As far as I know it is not part of the study design, however they can ask to operationalise the variables.

HELP

Explain whether Loftus’s research findings on the reconstructive nature of memory are relevant to long-term memories other than episodic memories.

Hi, do the examiners prefer dot-point form or essay-format answers? Will they deduct a mark if I use dot-points? My teacher told me that vcaa is moving away from this type of writing and wants the students to write their answers like in essays.
Thanks!

Yeah could someone please answer that as well cause my teacher told me that I should always aim to use dot-points in my answers.

Hey guys, do we need to know about proactive and retroactive interference? The CheckPoints book keeps mentioning it, but I can’t find it in my textbook.

Negative effects: higher risk of injury, sleep inertia/confusion if awoken, and studies show more daytime sleepiness/fatigue in sleepwalkers than non-sleep walkers.

Treatment: I’m not sure of any direct treatments, but I’m pretty sure that anxiety and stress can cause sleep walking, so treatments for stress (meditation or exercise) may indirectly help to reduce sleepwalking.

so for theta waves they can be present when doing a creative activity
what is an example of this?
For instance if painting, that is 'creative' but i would not think that it involves theta waves

Theta waves can be present when daydreaming or imagining, drawing, or painting like you said.

Also, you may know this, but theta waves can also be present when someone is very drowsy. :)

Okay I’m a bit confused now.. my textbook says ‘dream-like visual imagery’, would that not count as imagining something?
