I wasn't sure about that.. I think I wrote about the vertical eye movement and that most of the dream recalls involved looking up and climbing ladders which meant that they were dreaming in the REM sleep.. and I also wrote that there were more dream recalls when they were woken in the REM sleep than when they were in NREM sleep which is also an evidence of dreaming in the REM stage.. I hope it makes any sense hehe :P
What did you write?

:L, I wrote something about climbing ladder and tomato fight, but I didnt write it with good psychology terminology hahah, wishing for good examiner :L

Section B I did Piliavin and Section C Developmental!

What did everyone put for the Thigpen & Cleckley question about 2 pieces of evidence to support MPD?

I don't know why i described eve's personalities and talked about their IQ scores and there EEG Reading's! I know its wrong but other than that everything else went awesome :smile:

milgram question was bit strange but basically its when independent reasearchers were invited to observe participants when they were giving shocks to learner. so qualitative data was `participant biting lips, crying and shaking` well I think it is :L

Procedure i stated what all the 4 observer students did i.e 2 female observers and 2 male observers, 1 playing role of victim 1 of helper
They observed how people would react to the victim collapsing in critical adjacent area etc.
70 seconds 150 seconds and some other stuff (can't remember)

findings i messed up i said same race helping did happen but wasn't significant, people helped ill victim more than drunk victim. spontaneous help was offered. And also that people didn't want to help the drunk victim because he might be violent

Reliability was confusing but i said they used 2 observers - could have missed behaviors
could have had bias
and some other stuff

What about you? :smile:

Did anyone else do Savage-Rumbaugh for section B? So far, it seems like people were very biased towards choosing Piliavin.

I did it but wasn't completely sure as to how to properly explain the procedure, so I mentioned how the data was recorded both inside and outside, described an example of a formal test and something else which I can't quite remember... come to think of it, it wasn't my best answer ever written but I loved all the other Part B questions enough for Savage-Rumbaugh to take the risk.

I can honestly say I thought the Kanzi question was the worst question on the paper so I just wrote about how she went into the forest to find things blah blah, I know I got it wrong but I didn't want to leave a blank space lol

hahaha, yh it was a nasty question, I did it in last 5 minutes I didnt want to leave it blank :L
what did you write for that 4 marker on piliavin, something about `one control rsearchers kept`

I had no clue for that question :L, it was 4 marks and I wrote two lines haha, I said something like the victim needs to behave in a standardised manner, I didnt really revise piliavin, just knew basics
Yh i did piliavin in section b, it was straight forward just the 10 marker I couldnt think of second change :L. No way was I going to do maguire or savage rumbaugh :L

I said include people who use the subway between 9-5
Do the study in a supermarket
Do an observation about a woman walking and dropping her books and then seeing who'd help her and repeat it for males and compare to see which gender is likely to be helped!
I loved the idea of a 2 marker, 4 6 markers and 1 10 marker instead of 2 8 markers :smile:

Yeah i did, i said using people who use subway 9-5 is more representative
supermarket study is high in ecological validity
helping the woman can allow us to draw comparisons as to which gender is more helpful (obviously in more detail haha)

I said the victim always boarded the train at Harlem which traveled to the Bronx, the victim would then always exhibit the same symptoms before falling down 70 seconds after the door closed (Critical area) and then i said it makes it consistent, that's what i wrote

I did Savage-Rumbaugh, mainly because I didn't like the other two studies haha. And I wrote that too (more or less xP)! Hope it was enough for the 6 marks tho.
