Can't remember which one it was but help will be appreciated
Research into the effects of ageing on memory has shown
A processing speed in STM is reduced due to increased efficiency of the nervous system.
B processing speed in LTM is reduced due to reduced efficiency of the nervous system.
C there is no difference in processing speed for different types of task.
D complex tasks such as manipulating various types of information is often more difficult
for elderly people.
Which schedule of reinforcement results in the slowest extinction of a learned behaviour?
A fixed ratio
B variable ratio
C variable interval
D fixed interval
Thanks
i checked they are from tssm 2008. i got D for the first one but it is B. For the seccond one I got B but its C. Although for Q2 it was 50/50 to which way I would goCan't remember which one it was but help will be appreciated

hey man
these actually seem to be difficult questions.
for the first one
i would lean towards answer D.
since , complex tasks using the brain would possibly be less efficent as with ageing , as the central nervous system slows down.
however im not 100% sure
would actually be good to get some other peoples imput.
question 2.
Im pretty sure its variable interval.
for e.g fishing
when you go fishing. ... your gonna keep fishing all day .. even though you know that it might not happen.
the response is quite resistant to extinction.
some 1 please correct me if im wrong on anything.
cheers.

kk thanks. I understand Q2 now I think. But I though I was correct with Q1. I have in my notes that the speed of processing declines in STM not LTM so I though d) was logical. It is definatly not A or C but I'm with you in not understanding why D isn't correcti checked they are from tssm 2008. i got D for the first one but it is B. For the seccond one I got B but its C.

ok , well i was wrong with q1.
but was right with 2.
ok lemme try explain my theory on the answers a little more .
question1.
the slowing of the nervous system means that tasks cannot be performed as well.
however , usually memory loss in older people is the memory loss in episodic memories.
episodic memories are apart of long term memory.
the retrieval process is slowed down .. due to the declining nervous system
HOWEVER
i still would like some 1 to tell me why the answer cannot be D.... it seems logical to me?
as for question2.
its in the gravias textbook page 470
there is a graph which shows rates of learning and in turn , extinction rate.
the various interval is the slowest .. but it has the HIGHEST resistance to extinction
ill ask my teacher tomorrow and let you know what he says btw.thnaks. is your teacher a good one? private school?
:)
hope that helps ma friend :)
regarding question 1... does LTM actually process information? I thought it was just stored it. I also thought the first one was D as that's in the grivas textbook
I thought variable interval had the highest resistance to extinction as it's less predictable than a variable ratio schedule.
also I don't think the gambling example should be used as a reason why the extinction is longer. i'm sure there are plenty of variable ratio schedules that would be quite easily extinguished (don't ask me for an example, it's too late at night :( )
I thought variable interval had the highest resistance to extinction as it's less predictable than a variable ratio schedule.I didn't choose that example it's straight off wiki.. It's confusing cos different sources say different things..Have to just ask the assessors, they're probably the only ones who could give a straight answer. There's a big possibility it's variable interval, I've seen plenty of sources say this is the least resistant too, but I don't wanna ignore the information saying variable ratio could be too.. Can somebody ask their teacher? Mine isn't gonna be at school till late next week and I don't wanna wait that long.

i should have just inboxed u lol coz u always get them right. can u explain. they are from insight but i still don't the explanations
1 I wrote a because I though operant conditioning is volountry. Now that I think about it you are right but I'm sure it doesn't say this in the textbook
2 Very confident I was correct with variable interval. explain?
3 Was tossing up between B and C but went for C. Both seem to be right?

1 Operant conditioning doesn't have to involve voluntary actions -> for example you can use operant conditioning on say autism. Now you can't really say that autism is a voluntary condition, could you?
2 Isn't time based. The 'reward', being the getting goals, is received every time a person received a goal. It's not given say every 15 minutes, hence the ratio. It's obviously variable cause he doesn't get goals every match.
3 Well, I'd suppose it depends on the length of time it took for the ambulance to get to Jen, pick her up and get her to the hospital. Remember, consolidation is only affected in regards to memories gained 30 minutes prior.
I asked my teacher and its variable ratio that is most resistant to extinction. Its been explicitly stated to me a few times by various lecturers but the inconsistency with the answers in prac exams is frustrating :S.
I guess thats good then because then VCAA has to accept either, right?
I know STAV 2010 had it as Variable Ratio along with previous TSSM questions. IARTV on the other hand said it was Variable Interval. :( So frustrating! But logically I would also say variable interval but I've just gone on what's been taught to me :s
Okay I finally got a chance to ask my teacher whose been an assessor for 20 years blah blah..variable ratio is the fastest responding for PARTIAL schedules of reinforcement.
She said "Variable Interval" is the MOST resistant to extinction.. Because in "Interval" the participant just waits for the reinforcement so they will continue this more than having to do a behaviour like in a "Ratio" schedule..
But "Variable Ratio" produces the highest rate of responding..
So obviously it could become easy to confuse the two. (This is also from memory so what she told me could have differed slightly)..
She seemed very sure of this too. And I'd definitely listen to her cos she definitely knows what she's talking about.
Hope this helps other people cos this topic is so ambiguous.

but the fastest in general is continuous reinforcement.
:)
continuous reinforcement has the highest rate of response and quickest acquisition. The acquisition period is the time it takes for the specific behaviour to be learnt (I'm pretty sure that this is correct). excluding continuous reinforcement, variable ratio has the fastest rate of response, but fixed ratio has the quickest acquisition.Okay I finally got a chance to ask my teacher whose been an assessor for 20 years blah blah..variable ratio is the fastest responding for PARTIAL schedules of reinforcement.

hahaha! That's creepy she told me that too. Luckily I did the 05 vcaa exam which had that on there so I knew what she was talking about haha. Is there a difference between having the highest rate of responding and being acquired most rapidly? I thought variable ratio had the highest rate of responding but continuous was acquired most rapidly..?
I read somewhere else that variable interval is most resistant to extinction and now I'm unsure.
it's easiest to say that variable-ratio is as you can use the gambling example. i'm pretty sure that it's variable-interval as well, but my example of "fishing" doesn't really justify it being resistant to extinction :D
did anyone else find insight 2008 stuffed upyeah quite a few people found it hard.
on the mc i am actually doing better than expected but it was weird. there was rm questions in the memory or learning section and a couple of questions asked for what sounded like a detailed response and only was worth 2 marks with 2 lines. I reckon TSSM are the best tbhdid anyone else find insight 2008 stuffed upyeah quite a few people found it hard.
what exactly is external reinforcement?I don't actually know..
thanks. it was the answer to one of the mc questions. Do u go to a good private school?what exactly is external reinforcement?I don't actually know..
I'll ask my teacher tomorrow and post a good explanation here.

Guys, How can i best utilise the 10minutes reading time in the psychology exam??? what do you guys do?i just do as many mc as i know and write them in immediatly when reading time finishes. gives you an advantage by giving you more time to do SA

i think external reinforcement is physical rewards, ie. a trophy or pat on the ol' back.
internal reinforcement = pride or a sense of accomplishment.
sort of a year 11 thing, don't think we specifically learnt that this year?
anyone bother with scratching their multichoice on the midyear?
i used to always do it in earlier years as it saved a good ten minutes but didn't attempt it in the proper midyear... aha
they can throw you out of the exam if they catch you scratching answers in with anything. if you can get away with it, go for it, if in doubt, don't risk it.
I go through the MC questions first myself, might try matt's strategy next time I do an exam with reading time.

I think that the "gambling scenario" ( and this is just my personal thought) .. is both variable AND fixed interval.
... machines these days work on both time periods and number periods.
that's just what my teacher and I believe ... dont quote me on it.
But i would say ( since ive seen it in the book + on most exam papers) .... the most resistant to extinction is variable INTERVAL ..
Q.16 the serial position effect describes superior recall for items at the beginning and end of the list. you're not wrong that the items at the end of the list would have been recalled the best, but in those situations just go with the start and end and recall for items at the end of the list isn't far superior to that of the start of the list.
Q.19 remember that decay theory isn't well supported, and there's nothing about how much she used her semantic memory. also, she's old which is an indication that one of the four reasons why old people have poorer memory than young people should be considered. again, go with what's safe.
Q.24 with question 24, I guess the key word to consider is "a child learning to talk" behaviours dependent on maturation are not dependent on learning.
sorry I couldn't really help on the second one.
I have a question from a TSSM 2007 exam
Question 3 (Short Answer)
In the context of Pavlov's study, describe an example of extinction.
I assumed "in context of pavlov's study" meant I was to use pavlov's study as an example. i don't have the answers and i'm wondering how others interpret this question

Answering your question, "when do the mods on this forum put end of year exam section in the forum??" - One to two days before the oh-so-deadly primal English exam this upcoming Thursday.
can you give an example of a variable interval schedule that's resistant to extinction? (I do agree with you, but if a question asks to justify your answer then I'd be forced to pick ratio)

Nah i dont think they happen at a fixed time.
We went down to traffic lights to test it.
it was like 5-15 secs diff every time.
but i think the government has changed most the traffic lights these days.
the run on the amount of cars that pass a specific line in the ground ( dont ask me how).
anyways
Im pretty sure its variable interval
but i could be wrong ..
but fishing is anyway
They cant be fixed because if someone presses the button to cross the road itd fuck up the whole system.I just thought that the possibility of a green man occurs at the same time every time, however only happens if somebody presses the button. (so the timing isn't dependant on the person pressing the button)
id say they just favour the bigger road when they change colour. variable interval.
Im gonna go DB for the first questions? right?yeah.
Standing at the traffic lights .. pushing the button over and over.
Standing at the traffic lights .. pushing the button over and over.
that's fixed interval my friend. the main traffic lights are fixed interval i'm pretty sure, and the walk sign will only come on when the correct set of traffic lights are green. pg. 472 of the Grivas textbook states that traffic lights are a fixed-interval schedule

ahh thats what i kinda thought....
thanks
so there is an association between the bacteria and the food right ?? not an association between the food and a feeling of nausea??
ok there are two associations right?? and i wont get marks deducted for stating the grivas definition in the exam?you must provide an answer that is relevant to the question, for example:
two or more stimuli :)yep, but what are these specific stimuli called?
two or more stimuli :)yep, but what are these specific stimuli called?

Sorry to interupt.
I think its better to say.
" In classical conditioning there is repeated or successive pairings of the NEUTRAL stimulus and the UCS" , thus after the acquisition period , the NS becomes the CS which elicits a CR.

It says in the gravias textbook that the NS becomes the CS after repeated pairings with the UCS ( through which acquisition has occurred).
q1. what 2 stimuli are paired
Ans : The cs and the ucs.
..............
But in a SA question. Just to get rid of the "confusion" its probably better to say.
the NS is originally paired with the UCS and so , after a period of aquisition , the NS becomes the CS and thus elicits a CR.
i dont get the whole placebo thing...
is placebo used to prevent placebo effect???im confused T.T
they're not gonna ask in detail about placebo in the exam right?
hey you were right, about the NS being paired with the UCS...I have actually learnt, that when the NS is paired with the UCS it is called the CS.two or more stimuli :)yep, but what are these specific stimuli called?
Sorry to interupt.
I think its better to say.
" In classical conditioning there is repeated or successive pairings of the NEUTRAL stimulus and the UCS" , thus after the acquisition period , the NS becomes the CS which elicits a CR.
I also learned that originally.
Then i found out ... Its actually ONLY the CS after its been paired and can bring about a CR.
USUALLY though , to get rid of confusion .. vcaa just ask

haha, that's what I thought originally, but my teacher informed me that I was wrong...

Neap 2008
question 8. according to the consolidation through, the transfer of information from
A STM to LTM occurs gradually
B STM to LTM occurs within 20 seconds
C sensory to STM occurs within 20 seconds
D working memory to LTM usually occurs after 30 minutes
In my reading I haven't came across consolidation theory mentioning working memory specifically, and I have read that the consolidation of information is gradual. don't know what NEAP says the answer was, but I at first chose A, then changed it to D as I thought "the more specific the better" - what would other people do if such a question came up in the exam?
Question 12. Hailey is studying spanish as a second language at VCE. This knowledge will be stored in her ____________ memory
A semantic
B episodic
C working
D procedural
I at first chose semantic, but again changed my answer to procedural. My reasoning behind it was that declarative memory was "knowing that" and procedural memory was "knowing how". my second decision makes less sense now, but she is learning how to speak another language. it's one of those shifty questions it seems
Question 21. Both the method of loci and narrative chaining use __________ to improve memory
A locations
B stories
C imagery
D abbreviations
I chose B as the method of loci requires you to go through the locations in order, kind of like a story which makes more sense to me than all the other answers. if not that, it likely would have been C as A and B describe what each does specifically.
When describing ethical breaches in Little Albert... i say voluntary participation and withdrawal rights but i dont understand exactly how they were breached... if you just say the baby had not voluntarily participated or had no withdrawal rights, that would mean all experiments with babies would be unethical...
This is a question from 2007 TSSM.
Question 43
Which schedule of reinforcement provides the response rate that is the most resistant to extinction?
A. Variable interval schedule
B. Variable ratio schedule
C. Fixed interval schedule
D. Fixed ratio schedule
picked C answer is D....my psych teacher also told me its D...i think every prac exam question i get on this says its Fixed Ratio and i'm pretty sure i read on grivas textbook or A+ that its fixed ratio...and so does several other internet sources..
please dont let this question be on the damn exam... There would be absolute pandemonium

what does it mean to operational???Wasn't basically EVERY ethical consideration breached in little albert? You could justify any principle I reckon.
can i just write blah blach would display more aggressive behaviour than blah blah or do i have to specify which aggressive behaviour thise is.? like swearing/fighting etc...
also i still dont understand how withdrawl rights/ voluntary participation was breached in lil alberts study :P
thanks

I agree, I think you could. there are of course, the more reliable principles that were breached though (informed consent, withdrawal rights)
i thought duration of working memory was exactly same as STM?
a question in 2008 NEAP asked if the results of an experiment testing monkey's in a similar experiment to Harlow's could be generalised to humans. no p value accompanied the results, and I said they could not be generalised as no inferential statistics were provided and no conclusions could be drawn from descriptive statistics
right or wrong?
Q1. What type of LTM is Maths stored in???
Q2. What are the differences and similarities (apart from that they improve memory) between narrative chaining and method of Loci??
q1. semanticgood point, they can both assist the recall of items in sequential order. ;)
q2. similarities: they enhance organisation to improve storage, they organise info into a cohesive whole, can both assist the recall of information in a particular order
differences: how they organise information
Kinda pissed i got a couple of questions wrong from 2009 VCAA exam... help me out pleaseactually a sample size of 100 is not very small at all.
Question 17
In terms of participant selection, should these results be generalised?
Explain your answer.
Actual answer : No, these results should not be generalised.
Any of:
• participants were selected according to who volunteered in the first 100
• participants were not randomly selected
• not every Grade 4 child had an equal chance of being selected.
My Answer: No, the results are firstly not statistically significant. The sample size is also too small(100 participants) and may not be representative of the population to be generalized.
So why is my answer wrong?? T.T

You would be right IF the question didn't include this bit "In terms of participant selection". Sample size isn't really "in terms of participant selection" and neither is statistical significance. Do you see now how the vcaa answers were all about selection? Simple mistake. You'll be sure not to make it again now I bet. haha
Hope that helps. :D

i always miss the finer details...ahh silly me..Nice work. That's a really good score!
got 86/90 :P
haha. You're a gun at psych sillysmile. No need to apologise, VCAA love to trick everyone with their wordy crap.thank you :) it's my favourite subject :P
i always miss the finer details...ahh silly me..the funny thing is, that I got the same mark as you for this exam when I did it:)
got 86/90 :P
Kinda pissed i got a couple of questions wrong from 2009 VCAA exam... help me out pleaseMy teacher told me if it's generalisation, you have to comment on how the participants were selected and the allocation. If participant's were not randomly selected/allocated, results cannot be generalised because it's not representative of the polulation. If it ask's for the conclusion, then you need to comment on the inferential statistics (statistically significant or not), if p-value is less than 0.05, than there is no conclusions.

How many prac exams is enough to be considered 'prepared' for this exam?
matt is superpracexam man.How many prac exams is enough to be considered 'prepared' for this exam?
Depends.
Its diff for everyone.
And depends what score you wanna get.
For full marks.
I would say .. do every paper that exists and keep doing them till you get 100% in them all.
But thats just me
"prepared" probz 5-20 ... like i said , depends what ur aiming for.
Okay good :)
Yeh I'm averaging 84-86 after doing about 26 prac exams, but to be honest I'm aiming and hoping not to drop more than 4 marks. Ambitious? yes.
What do you think about doing prac exams from 2000-2004, are they worth it? My school didn't give us heaps of prac exams and at this stage, I've only got irrelevant study design exams to do.
Is serial position effect only for free recall??? doesnt work in serial/cued recall??\
also i dont get stimulus generalization/discrimination in OC... what is the stimuls in OC and how does it work overall?? confusing
Thanks :P

guys is music state or context dependent cue??Tough one.
guys is music state or context dependent cue??possibly both?
guys is music state or context dependent cue??context I reckon..
the physical qualities of an experience would be considered context e.g. what we saw, heard, touched, tasted etc... ^^Yep that's it.
what if music made you in a elevated and distracted state of mind..? woudnt that be state??I agree here, but I guess in this course you shouldn't be going into so much depth...
what if music made you in a elevated and distracted state of mind..? woudnt that be state??Well it depends on what the question asks. Music could never be state alone but it can elicit feelings/emotions which can then act as a state cue.
I just read the first few posts, wouldnt variable ratio be most resistant? At least thats what Grivas says
If the exam asks you what the DV is... do you answer in operationalised form or just a basic answer??Always operationalise as it gets you into a good habit because in your hypothesis the DV must be operationalised. The assessors I don't think can take marks off but it kinda secures your mark more.
Also does serial position effect only work in free recall??
THanks VN geniuses
I really doubt that the serial position effect will be asked in relation to any method other than free recall.If the exam asks you what the DV is... do you answer in operationalised form or just a basic answer??Always operationalise as it gets you into a good habit because in your hypothesis the DV must be operationalised. The assessors I don't think can take marks off but it kinda secures your mark more.

THanks VN geniuses
From what I'm aware of yes, serial recall only produces the primacy effect. But I haven't really looked into this in depth so you'd be better off getting a second opinion on this one..
