Hey guys on the 2021 vcaa MCQ question 14, im confused on why its C. Usually the duration of STM is 15-20 seconds and then 30 seconds if maintenance rehearsal is used.
unidentifed
Hii
I had this same question with my teacher, and we went through it together,
So according to the jacaranda textbook, it says that the "duration of STM is from 18-20 seconds, sometimes up to 30 seconds" and "longer if renewed using Maintainance rehearsal"
Lots of different textbooks say different durations but the main one that vcaa accepts is roughly 15-30
seconds (as seen in the multiple-choice) so we're kinda just gonna have to go with whatever they say :/
its a bit confusing trying to keep up with exactly what the examiners want...
if anyone wants to add anything else feel free to do so,
hi guys imlosing motivation to study because im so nervous idk what to do
does anyone have points on breathing retraiining and self efficacy i dont have any and they were skimmed over ?
allso what format do u guys use for the ten marker my teacher has said IDEAS but i cant remember what it stands for
sasushi Thank u so much ur a lifesaver i didnt even know that
Housestark22 Basically breathing retraining the process of identifying unhealthy breathing habits and replacing them with correct ones, (its kind of like CBT but breathing version) . Self efficacy is belief in the ability to perform behaviour needed to reach a goal and is a psychological risk factor. Someone that has poor self efficacy is usually doubting themselves and always perceives that they would receive the worst outcome. For example on a past paper there was a scenario of a women having trouble at work and she thought that it would never resolve, hence she has poor self efficacy.
Also you are not alone, literally don't know what to do today as well but my teacher recommended to go over notes and mistakes on past trials
Housestark22 I don't really have a format but I recommend just planning for 5-10 mins and using paragraphs. Make sure to always link to the scenario or research and throw in definitions to show your assessor you have a good understanding of the content
Housestark22 i was also taught IDEAS
I- identify concepts
D- define
E-explain
A- apply and analyze
Basically pretend you're writing for your parents to read this- they are smart but have no idea what psych terms mean. For example, don't just say, glutamate has an excitatory effect- say what excitatory means
unidentifed yeah right now I'm staring at my past papers because i have no idea what to do
twinklehello yeah im going over research methods rn because 2021 was majorly that
yeah i literally have no idea what to do, and have no motivation or energy left, so I'm just scrolling on atarnotes
sasushi wait whats the difference b/w major stress and catastrophe
unidentifed THANK U SM
ye ye im doing mind maps and going over definitions, i feel like im more distress than eustress this is not goodins lmao
twinklehello catastrophe is an unpredictable, uncontrollable event that affects the community on a wide scale like a tsunami while a major stressor is an event that is extraordinarily stressful for all individuals that experience it like victims to a crime
What stage in Selyeโs G.A. Syndrome is everyone at with their psychology exam revision?
