wheatie47 I'm not quite sure but I hope it's Classical conditioning, or it may be the transtheoretical model of change (bc they're moving it off the study design, but idk)

wheatie47 i agree with sasushi, i hope its one of the models of learning (if its on phobias and CC and OC i will be the happiest person alive). Praying it isn't on research methods like how the 2013 exam was

twinklehello Hey guys! Just wondering which sampling technique, random or stratified, generates a more representative sample? I have different resources telling me its either random or stratified 😅

    unidentifed the ideal answer would be random stratified (but stratified is what is in the study design)! Compared to random sampling, stratified sampling separates individuals according to particular characteristics as they are in the population (e.g. by age). When selecting your sample, the proportions of people in each characteristic will mirror the proportions present in the population. That makes your sample more representative of the population.

    Hope this helps

      lm21074 Hey thanks for the reply!! Apparently random stratified is not in the current study design anymore but is still in some textbooks. The only sampling techniques that are included in the study design is random, stratified and convenience sampling.

      unidentifed out of those two, it would be stratified sampling because it involves dividing individuals of a population into different 'strata' (groups) and then selecting individuals (to form a sample) from these groups in the direct proportion that they in the population.

      whereas in random sampling there is still the opportunity that the sample is not representative, bc it's 'random', and there could be an increase in a specific characteristic purely by chance. (e.g more females than males despite the population having more males- u know?)

      hopefully, this makes sense 😄

        heyy guyss!!

        Question

        in classically conditioned memory the amygdala attaches emotional significance to the memory and sends a message to the hippocampus to consolidate this information (+emotional significance) into LTM, right?

        so then whats the role of teh cerebellum? bc i thought that the cerebellum was responsible for consolidating implicit memories. like Alberts's fear towards the rat was voluntary. so how does the cerebellum work in classical conditioning?

        thanksxx

          sasushi Yep you are correct the amygdala is involved in the classically conditioned responses as it enhances the memory. However the cerebellum is responsible in forming and storing the implicit classically conditioned memory. Usually when referring to classically conditioned memories, hippocampus isn't mentioned as it is responsible for consolidating explicit memories.

          Hope this helps 🙂

            sasushi hey! the official oxford textbook states that the cerebellum is responsible for encoding, storing, and processing implicit memories, as it helps coordinate smooth motor movement as it interacts with other regions of the brain.
            Albert's fear of the rat is involuntary as he creates an association b/w the ns and UCS, creating his UCR which ultimately becomes his CR in response to the CS. Hope that make sense!

              twinklehello oh i missed the other part, in CC (classical conditioning) all the cerebellum does it help store condolidate and encode the implicit memory, but the amygdala ADDS the emotional signigfance. The hippocampus has no role

                unidentifed

                yeah, I want it to be on CC (bc I don't think it has yet) but if it is, we may possibly have to talk about brain regions as well to get more marks! 😨 😞

                  sasushi Yeah it will probably be a new AOS because they usually don't repeat the same topic for each extended response.

                  Hey guys just a question, do we need to know the different types of social support (appraisal support, tangible assistance, emotional support and information support) in reference to increasing resilience.

                    unidentifed

                    the typical characteristics of a mentally healthy person, including high levels of functioning, social and emotional
                    well-being and resilience to life stressors

                    resilience as a positive adaption to adversity including the relative influence of protective factors with reference
                    to: adequate diet and sleep (biological); cognitive behavioural strategies (psychological); support from family,
                    friends and community (social)

                    these are the two key knowledge dot points that resilience occurs in, so I don't think you need to talk about types of social support (our school hasn't really learnt this)

                    It wouldn't hurt to know just a basic level of knowledge and how to apply it to scenarios because it could get you that extra mark or it could help if the 10-mark question is on resilience.
