daydreaming is considered an altered state of consciousness, right? doing a question and it says 'Daydreaming is not an altered state of consciousness as not all awareness is lost of the individual and their world'
quick response would be appreciated ty!

To quote the Study Design document for Psychology (2013), the first key knowledge dot point of Unit 3, AOS1, outcome 1 says "concepts of normal waking consciousness and altered states of consciousness including daydreaming ... in terms of levels of awareness, content limitations, [etc.]..."
So yes, daydreaming is considered an altered state of consciousness  ;D

from a stav 2014 practice exam. It was a multiple choice question:
'daydreaming is ____ considered to be an ASC because, while daydreaming, people___
basically had to fill in the gaps and the correct multiple choice answer (which was actually incorrect) said 'daydreaming IS NOT considered to be an ASC because while daydreaming, people do not lose all awareness of themselves and their world around them'
not exactly written the way i said so, but yeah that's generally it :) pretty annoying having a prac exam littered with inaccuracies !

Hello,
Could someone be able to explain the difference between rerouting and sprouting? (They seem the same to me, which is probably not true). I don't really understand the concept. Help will be greatly appreciated!
Much thanks :)

Hello everyone,
Can I clarify something?
Is Shaping and Tokens a form of positive reinforcement (I think so) My book just vaguely says, "reinforcement" so does that mean it can be positive and negative?

I imagine it's basically always positive reinforcement being used in shaping and token economies. I think using negative reinforcement in a shaping procedure would prove quite complicated. I do suppose, however, that tokens could work as negative reinforcers.

Hey I just recently did a SAC on memory. We had a question on the serial position effect and were asked to choose "which part (start, end and/or middle) of the list would the students me most likely to remember?" I, seeing that it referred to only the "part" and not "parts" and knowing that the recency effect was more superior than the primacy effect, wrote that the students would most likely remember the words at the end of the list. The following question then asked to explain why and I wrote about the recency effect. However, the teacher took marks off these questions because he said that the students would have remembered both the words at the start and end of the list, thus the cause would have been the primacy and recency effect. So, should I have received the marks? Is the recency effect more superior than the primacy effect when remembering a list of words?

It would actually depend how long after reading the list the students were asked to recall the words. If they were asked to recall the words immediately, then yes the recency effect is more pronounced than the primacy effect. However, if the recall was delayed (e.g. 5 minutes after reading the list), then the primacy effect becomes superior.

Yes, it was immediately after.

Yes, it was immediately after.

Then yes, the students would, on average, recall the words at the end of the list best, followed by the words at the start of the list, followed by the words in between.

But I think this disagreement between yourself and your teacher is a game of semantics, not of understanding the serial position curve.
