Q: During a game of squash Andrew is hit in his left eye with a squash ball. His doctor says his sight will not be affected but he will have to keep the eye bandaged for a few weeks. With his left eye covered, information from Andrew's right eye will be processed in the:

A: temporal lobe of both the left and right hemispheres.

Isn't visual info processed in the occipital lobe? And right eye --> left hemisphere? :\

I reckon that'd be the left and right hemispheres of the occipital lobe. I agree that it's not the temporal lobe. Both the left and the right eyes are split into a left visual field and a right visual field, meaning that the information is processed in both hemispheres.

Hi guys,

Would a class's average score for an experiment be considered a descriptive or inferential statistic?

Thanks in advance :)

Hi hello, descriptive statistics include percentages, graphs and measures of central tendency. A mean (the average of the class' scores) is a measure of central tendency and therefore it would be considered as a descriptive statistic :)
Spoiler
*Conversely, a p-value would be an example of an inferential statistic and the only one that I think we need to know for vce

Hi everyone,

Where could I find the abstracts for B.B. Murdock, Postman and Philips(1965), Medin and Ross(1992) and Glanzer and Cunitz (1966)?

Thanks  :)

I would head over to Google Scholar to find journal articles and their abstracts  - it's very helpful. :)

From memory, I don't think I've ever come across drawing graphs as such. Could you be a little more specific? :)

i meant like having to draw a graph from data we are given! just had a quick look at the exams and i also asked my teacher, we are not expected to draw a graph on a pair of axes (if that makes sense) thanks for your reply!

Hi everyone!

What psychology areas would be suitable for Identity and Belonging?
Such as social psychology and within that conformity.

Thanks!~

I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but does consolidation take place in the hippocampus? Thanks

Yes, it's believed to be important for the formation of memories and the transfer of memories to more stable cortical storage systems.
