3. A scatterplot shows age on the x-axis and working-memory score on the y-axis, with points generally rising from left to right. Which conclusion is best supported?

VCE 11 age and working-memory scatterplot age score positive
Choices
  • Working-memory score tends to increase with age in this sample.
  • Age causes every score to be identical.
  • The variables are negatively associated.
  • No data points are shown.
Explanation:

The upward pattern supports a positive association between age and working-memory score, without proving causation.

VCE Year 11 Psychology Learning hard conditioning model

4. In a conditioning diagram, a tone is repeatedly paired with food until the tone alone causes salivation. After conditioning, what is the conditioned stimulus?

VCE 11 conditioning sequence tone food salivation
Choices

Explanation:

The tone was originally neutral, but after pairing it with food it becomes the conditioned stimulus.

  • The students' names
Explanation:

The independent variable is the factor deliberately changed by the researcher: music compared with silence.

Participants receive information and choose whether to take part, so the diagram represents voluntary informed consent.

For parents comparing VCE Year 11 Psychology support
