did we agree cocktail party effect was the answert???</p>

It the answer for sure. Dichotic only lasts a few seconds.</p>

@Fullmeta: I think about it in an easier way: you need (say) 113/150, MC makes up 100 of those points, FRQ 50. Multiply the percentage you got by those numbers and add them.</p>

Who came up with the idea that proximity was the mere exposure effect? I’m pretty sure that it was talking about Gestalt…</p>

anyone get the question about deaf kids making a new language?</p>

deaf kids was chomsky!!!</p>

@actstudent and @whatslife</p>

I’ve never heard anywhere that Dichotic lasts only a few seconds, but it seems like the major consensus is Cocktail Party Effect. </p>

And with that I’m down to -4 questions already. Darn.</p>

^I think that was just to illustrate that the Gestalt interpretation is not the only definition of proximity…</p>

Alright so I for sure got the ebbinghaus and stroop effects wrong, as well as the sleepwalking one. Besides the fact that i thought proximity in frq 2 was the proximal stimulus in the eye, i dont think it was that bad</p>

The deaf kids and new language had to do with Chomsky, and the LAD.</p>

@qwerk It was Chomsky and his Language Acquisition Device</p>

anbyody a consensus for creativity question?
Casual relationship question?
More likely for heart attack?</p>

The sleepwalking one was delta waves right?</p>

For most likely to have heart attack I put E with the hard-drived guy. I don’t think it was the Guy who liked a fast paced life because if i remember correctly that answer choice said he lived an organized life.</p>

What was the card one…?</p>

Creativity was the divergent one. Casual relations is experimental; read it Princeton Review.</p>

@actstudent
Casual relationship = Experimental</p>

The other two will never really get a consensus. Asking for a consensus for those types of questions probably won’t lead to anywhere, because even though we as a group say it’s a consensus, it’s sometimes wrong :confused: Especially the Type A question (seems like a split to me)</p>

I’m speaking about the guy playing cards in his computer, by the way.</p>

^I think that was a girl…</p>

@whatslife
Variable Ratio</p>

ok thanks, that’s 2 wrong at least. ****ed creativity wasn’t original and valuable because that’s exact definition from my textbook. you guys sure??? on that 1</p>
