Psych Conference News, February 2011

Tawny in the day time
Stay alert and keep up with the latest news from the VCAA, which is available on this blog at the link below.

At the conference on Friday we soaked up as much information as possible and did our best to bankrupt our small faculty by ordering mounds of books. We hope to add as many useful resources to this blog as we can. For instance, there is now a brief account of the main points made about the Unit 3 and 4 exams – rules, expectations and latest information. Click below to read this information, which will be updated as often as possible. There is a link on this page to the sample questions that have been supplied for the Unit 3 exam as well. These can be downloaded and should be pored over by every Year 12 student.

We are also gradually adding links to recommended internet resources, such as the video below of the story of Clive Wearing, a man whose memory is so badly impaired that he can only retain information for between 7 and 30 seconds. That includes the conversation he is presently engaged in. Yet he can still play the piano. This would involve procedural memory, which is clearly less prone to amnesia than personal and factual memories.

Kind regards,

Ms Bottrell, Ms Ind, Ms Simkin and Ms Green
