<p>We are allowed to discuss them, aren’t we? For the serial-position effect and recall, I said that items at the top or bottom of a list are easier to remember than items in the middle, they are easier to recall…what did you get for that one?</p>
<p>^I said the same thing. I also mentioned that the phenomenon of remembering things at the top of a list is called “primacy” and remembering at the bottom of the list is “recency.”</p>
<p>What can we really discuss about the Psych FRQ? All of the questions are really straightforward definitions. I guess we could discuss #2 and how we related the definitions to the scenario. What did you guys say about “figure ground?”</p>
<p>that’s the one I know I got wrong. I said that the cheerleader’s figure ground perception would allow her to see where she is in the air in relation to the ground, and thus help her to land her flip.</p>
<p>I actually said that the fact that the school wore clothing of specific colors to make an arrangement of the school flag is a figure ground disparity because the students are normally the figure, but the flag becomes the figure by doing this, or some BS like that.</p>
<p>Since the students were standing on bleachers, if they were to look down and perceive the ground as the background in relation to the bleachers as the figure, the students could become sick of the height they were at. However, if they were to percieve the bleachers as the background and the ground as the figure, then they would not become sick because they would not perceive themselves at an altitude. Might this be correct?</p>
<p>what operational definition one? …the superstition one, I said that superstitions result from people being conditioned into thinking that something results in bad luck…I said that if someone always experiences a bad occurrence when the sky is grey operant conditioning occurs and they are conditioned to expect “bad luck” from grey skies. Grey skies thus become a superstition…could this possibly be right? :P</p>
