SHORT ANSWER:
1. Associate each individual species with a well known series of locations/landmarks. Eg rooms in her house. When she recalls each strongly encoded room, she can also use it as a cue to recall the species.
2. i.Key Role: Collation and manipulation of information from Sensory Memory and Long term memory.
eg: recognising a friend (LTM) from a photo (SM)
ii.keyrole: high mental functions such as decision making and problem solving
eg: maths equations.
3. Organic causes of forgetting are physical/physiological factors that cause/influence forgetting
4. A) Haydn was suffering from retrograde amnesia
B) Haydns rate of remembering would be gradual at first, but increasing until he was able to acess everything that he had previously encoded.
5. Encoding specificity principle states that being in the same environment that a memory was encoded will provide context cues to assist retrieval
6. Ebbinghaus? forgetting curve is shaped like a logarithmic graph (like a skateboard ramp). After approximately 1 hr, 50% of info is forgotten. After three weeks, only around 25-35% will be retained.
7. i. Painful injection
ii. Nurses
iii. Pain/hurt
iv. Fear
8. Observational learning is a form of operant conditioning because motivation is required. This is often in the form of reinforcement, similar to operant conditinioning
(I cant help but think i left something out here, just cant for the life of me remember it
b) Jodie must first ensure that her daughter pays ATTENTION to her demonstrations.
Then, jodies daughter must RETAIN the information in her LTM
Next, Jodies daughter has to be capable of physically REPRODUCING the actions.
and finally, jodies daughter must have sufficient MOTIVATION to reperform the behaviour. Motivation could be provided in the form of incentive such as Jodie offering her a reward
(sloppy towards end, but it gets the marks down)
9. Trial and Error Learning
10. Similarity: Both assosiate a UCS with a CS (bad food/all types of that food) by a strong UCR/CR (Illness/nausea)
Difference1: Taste aversion is extremely resistant to extinction, unlike CC
difference2: Taste aversion is very unlikely to demonstrate stimulus generalisation
11. (not so good at these)
VCE students at Beachside Secondary College will take longer to complete a logic puzzle if they are distracted by a conversation or music tape, than if the same students complete a similar logic puzzle without distraction.
(I think i should have discriminated more between the trial with cnoversation and the trial with music, but oh well)
12. IV: Form of disctraction; none, music, or conversation
DV: Time taken to complete logic puzzle
13. Denise used stratified random sampling. She may have divided the VCE students into year levels, then taken 6 boys and 4 girls from each year level... giving her 12 boys, 8 girls... providing the 20 students that she selected from the combined strata.
14. A) repeated measures
B) No participant variables
15. She aws trying to avoid Experimenter effect
Experimenter effect is where the person doing the research influences the participants or their results because of hteir expectations or bias.
16. Order Effects. This can be avoided by using counter balancing. Counter balancing is where one half of the sample perform condition A first, and B second. While the other half perform B first, and A second. (Because she had 3 conditions the sample would have to be further divided)
17. Yes. Because the results show that the conversation tape distraction caused students to take as little as 2 and a half minutes longer than any other condition, and the p value supports this, saying less than 5 times in 100 the results were due to chance. (p<0.05)
18. Because the VCE students are all under 18, Denise would have to obtain informed consent from their parents. She would have to fully brief them on what the research was to entail, and then get their express permission for hteir children to participate.
19. (I had no idea about this one)
It is important that we repeat experiments in order to ensure integrity and reliability of results.
