Where are implicit memories stored? I know explicit memories are stored in the cerebral cortex but I don't know about implicit memories, I know they're formed in the cerebellum but where are they stored in the long term?

After a few days of sleep deprivation, it is most likely that a person would experience
A. no increase in the amount of sleep on the nights following the sleep deprivation
B. an increased amount of sleep on one or more nights
C. an increased amount of slow-wave sleep only
D. an increased amount of REM sleep only

The answer is B however I thought that option D could also be a valid option (ie. I thought that there were two answers). Could some explain why D is incorrect?

Yes, there is increased REM through REM-rebound. But if you're increasing REM that's going to increase the total amount of sleep as a whole.

Because if a person is sleep deprived, they will have missed out on both NREM and REM sleep, and will need to have longer periods of both of them. They will not just experience an increased proportion of REM sleep only. Also, another thing to look out for is the use of the word only. In psychology there is no answer that is ‘black or white’, there is never a definitive answer- that is another reason why D is wrong. Hope this helped!

for the rat question on the 2017 exam what research procedure was used?

Best to ask in this thread; our Psych lecturer is posting his solutions, and you can ask there. :)

Hi everyone,

I'm a year 11 going into year 12 psych next year without units 1/2. Does anyone have any tips?

Also, how many marks can you afford to lose on the exam to get a 40+?

Thanks in advance :)

Yo I know this is thread for questions for 3/4 psyc but there is no 1/2 thread so imma ask anyway  :P

When talking about influences on taste perception is it good enough just to mention perceptual set-good packaging and appearance without mentioning the factors which influence perceptual set (context, culture,motivation etc.)

Cheers!!

I cannot say which is the best one, but personally I really disliked the Oxford one. It was the textbook used at my school and I found I had to heavily rely on A+ notes and additional resources to learn the content. In my personal opinion, I think the Oxford one is quite vague in many areas and doesn't cover the content well.

The Jacaranda textbook is regarded highly, but be aware that some of the content in it is not assessable in the current study design. Throughout the whole year make sure you check the SD for what you need to know

Don't even do psych, but...
Is there a way that police could easily test a driver's sleep levels to determine if they were driving while unsafely fatigued? Like is there a certain molecule whose levels could be tested? And would fatigue vary significantly between individuals despite similar levels of such a molecule?
