How much do you think we need to know in terms of behavior modification?  Grivas uses it a little when talking about systematic desensitisation and aversion therapy and then again in a blue box in the final chapter.

systematic desensitisation can reverse classical conditioning.. i.e. phobias

1. semantic memory

2.a  similarity: they both use imagery
a difference: narrative chaining uses a story, method of loci uses a series of locations.

q1. semantic

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

good point, they can both assist the recall of items in sequential order. ;)

Kinda pissed i got a couple of questions wrong from 2009 VCAA exam... help me out please

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

actually a sample size of 100 is not very small at all.
and I believe if the results were not statistically significant than you are correct, they cannot be generalised.

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
