Ok thanks. Maybe I didn’t do so bad on the FRQs after all. That’s a big maybe. When it says “argument”, it doesn’t literally mean a thesis, right? Just write on topic? For the FRQ, putting the number in the top box that correlated to the answer was all it required, right?</p>
Finally (and I hope this is safe): How many TOTAL points will get you at least a 3, 4 and 5 respectively on this test?</p>
Edit: Hypothetically, I mean.</p>
I’m honestly not sure, sorry. You could probably Google it.</p>
Why is everyone so upset about the first free response? I thought it was really easy. The only term I didn’t completely understand was “foveal vision,” but I think I got it right by guessing it deals with centered vision, while the subject is looking into his peripheral. </p>
For those of you who said they wrote nonstop, I was finished with the FR in 30 minutes. You only get points for what THEY ASK YOU FOR. Thus, if they do not ask you for definitions, you do not have to write them. Writing the bare minimum gets you the same number of points that five pages of definitions and applications would.</p>
I guessed on one out of every ten multiple choice, oddly. And for those people worried an 80 or so out of 100 will not get them the score they want-- you can make an 80 and do very well on the FR and get a 5 easily. No worries there.</p>
I forgot whether the fovea was rods or cones… I wrote about how it contains the most rods and allows for the subject to use his peripheral vision… LOL… Oh well, it’s done.</p>
Wait the subjects had to look at the image with their peripheral vision?! I don’t remember reading that, and the FRQ documents on CollegeBoard’s website are damaged so I can’t check.</p>
If that’s true, I probably missed that point then, which sucks since I described foveal vision accurately and in great detail. ■■■</p>
Fovea=Center of retina with most cones. I said that foveal vision would help the person see the figure faster (since figures are projected onto different parts of the screen), but that’s probably not right.</p>
I said something similar to that, but i also heard somoene talk about peripheral vision…</p>
If there wasn’t a stipulation that the subjects had to look for the figures with their peripheral vision, then my explanation in <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/ap-tests-preparation/1140396-ap-psychology-discussion-2011-a-4.html#post12567887[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/ap-tests-preparation/1140396-ap-psychology-discussion-2011-a-4.html#post12567887</a> is correct. If there was, then it is still correct but it doesn’t exactly fit into the experiment as it might need to for the point.</p>
I just checked the FRQ, and that stipulation does not exist, therefore my answer in the topic I linked earlier is correct.</p>
^Can you link to your actual post?</p>
Yep, here you go:</p>

It’s on page four for those who want to go to the topic.</p>
^Man, that’s really eloquent. So, out of curiosity, would my explanation of foveal vision (that it helps subjects sense new images so they see them sooner and have longer to look/ID shape) work, in your opinion?</p>
For foveal vision, I said that the participants need it in order to focus on the screen. Do you think I would get points for this?</p>
^That makes more sense than my answer. :P</p>
I mean, from a basic point of view, it sounds like I kind of know what I’m talking about, but I wonder if they are going to distinguish between where the real knowledge stops and where the BS begins. I think that one could go either way for me.</p>
Another thing. I’m kind of confused about my response for feature detectors. I just looked up the definition, and I’m guessing mine is pretty wrong since I didn’t mention anything about “feature detectors” in the brain. However, I did correctly use it contextually by saything something like, “the participants need feature detectors in order to tell the incomplete objects apart from one another.” Is that good enough for a point?</p>
I wrote that some feature detectors will perceive the horizontal parts of the figure, others the vertical parts, and others the diagonal parts. All feature detectors will need to work in the subject’s (eyes or brain? I don’t remember what I wrote) for him/her to perceive as much of the incomplete figure as possible.</p>
^I don’t think your explanation will quite work. Feature detectors don’t help them really tell the figures apart. They help the subjects sense and perceive more of the incomplete figure.</p>
i know it’s illegal, but collegeboard can get over it hahaha.
can we start a consolidated mc list? nobody remembers the questions/answers?
or share our answers for the frqs?</p>
FallenAngel</p>
The participants had to look at the center of the screen; the figures surrounded the center; thus, it is implied that the participants must use their peripheral vision in order to identify the geometric shapes.</p>
keep the chat going! haha i wanna read what you guys have to say!</p>
