Faculty of Science Re-assessment Catalogue (Summer 2016)

How to use this Catalogue

Details of individual results and the granting of re-assessment opportunities are available via the Student Record Management portal (SRM). This catalogue provides information for students who are required to undertake coursework re-assessment only. The examination re-assessment timetable is published separately. If you have been granted a coursework re-assessment opportunity you will need your course code/title to identify the correct coursework re-assessment as follows:

1. scroll to the page of your School or Department and read any general instructions given; 2. scroll to your course code/title for details of your re-assessment.

The deadline for coursework re-assessment submission is Friday 26th August 2016 and

unless otherwise stated is via Turn-it In. If you cannot find information relating to your course or require further assistance it is very important that you contact your Tutor or School/Department as soon as possible for assistance. University staff take holiday leave in July and August but endeavour to avoid delays in responding. Contact details are in each section or are available on the website under ‘Staff Index’ (Please note: You may find you have been asked to undertake a different type of assessment, for example at the first attempt you made a presentation but now you are asked to submit a piece of written work. We provide equivalent re-assessment opportunities but outside of teaching weeks it is not always possible to offer a ‘like-for-like’ assessment).

Tourism Industry Report


2,500

Assessment Details:

Re-submission of a report that critically evaluates the impact of different factors on operations and management of the key sectors of the tourism industry. The report should address ONE of the following: 1) The global airline industry is currently undergoing a series of

rapid changes. Identify the key factors that have contributed to change (do not forget to justify your choice) within the airline industry and consider whether there are any further implications for other sectors within the tourism system (e.g. destination / attraction management, tour operators, marketing, accommodation, etc.).

2) There have been a number of recent changes concerning national and international hotel chains, including branding, globalisation, classification systems, quality, and customer expectations. Select the changes which you believe represent key changes (do not forget to justify your choice) and analyse the impacts on both the hotel industry and the accommodation sector.

3) Tourism distribution channels are effectively monopolised by comparatively few multi-national tour operators through the processes of horizontal and vertical integration. Critically evaluate the validity of this claim, with reference to recent relevant examples.

This session builds on the skills you learnt in week 0 and assesses your understanding of the for loop.

Assessment

Type in the program below into JavaTrainer; amend this program to make PieEater walk around the grid

ending up where he started leaving a trail as he walks.

createpieeater();

int i;

for (i=1 ; i<3 ; i++)

{

walk();

}



test the program in JavaTrainer and then once working, copy and paste the code into a word document.


1. All code should be formatted in font Courier New with a point size of 11. 2. Any paragraph spacing should be removed. 3. Any instructions inside a conditional statements should be indented by 3 spaces. If this is not

clear at this stage please don’t worry. We will not penalise for this point at this stage of the course.

Submit the assessment Moodle using the link BoundaryWalk Submission.

Exercise 2

Synopsis

This week we test your understanding of problem solving and representing that problem as an algorithm

in Structured English.

Assessment

Given the following criteria:

Variables money := 100, marbleCost := 12, counter := 0

Limits money should not be a negative value

Result Display the value of counter once the algorithm has completed. In structured

English you can use the keyword display and the variable name to display the

value, for example: display counter

Complete an algorithmic design that will purchase a marble while money is greater or equal to

marbleCost. The solution should keep purchasing a marble until the marbleCost is greater than money.

Each time a marble is purchased you should deduct the marbleCost from money.


11

There are many portfolio exercises where we ask you to submit structured English. We ask you to

adhere to house formatting rules when submitting structured English which are the same as the house

rules for formatting code. These are:

1. All structured English should be formatted in font Courier New with a point size of 11. 2. Any paragraph spacing should be removed. 3. Any instructions inside a conditional statements should be indented by 3 spaces.

Exercise 3

Synopsis

This week we assess your understanding of trace tables. Trace tables allow us to trace through a given

algorithmic design and keep track of variable values and conditional statement evaluations.

Assessment

Create a trace table with the appropriate headings and trace through the following Structured English.

x := 5 step 1

y:= 10 step 2

while (x < y) step 3

begin

x:=x+2 step 4

y:=y+1 step 5

if (x not < y) then step 6

begin

y := 50 step 7

x := 50 step 8

end

end


The document should be word processed and make use of a table. The submission link is on moodle

and is labelled Trace Table Submission.

Exercise 4

Synopsis

This week we further assess your understanding of algorithmic design by looking at a given scenario and

the requirements or operations of that scenario.

Assessment

Carry out step-wise top down refinement to solve the following problem:

The temperature inside a pottery kiln is sampled periodically during the firing process. When the

temperature goes outside a critical range, a light flashes on the operator's control panel. A red light

indicates that a dangerously high temperature has been reached, whilst a blue light indicates the

opposite.

12

This type of emergency prompts the operator to go and follow a set procedure involving three controls,

labelled A, B and C.

If the temperature is critically low, control A must be set to " Open Valve", control B must be set to

"Increase" and control C must be set to "Emergency Low"

If the temperature is critically high, A is set to "Close Valve", B is set to "Decrease" and C is set to

"Emergency High".

When the lights stop flashing the controls are set to their normal positions.






The submission link is on Moodle and is labelled PotteryKiln Submission.

Exercise 5

Synopsis

This week we strengthen our understanding of step wise refinement and look at using functions.

Functions can accepts values, return a value or both. Functions can also be used as the condition for

conditional statements.

Assessment

A sensor is to be installed by the main London to Scotland railway line at Milton Keynes. The sensor will be installed in the signal box to the south of the station and will satisfy the following specification:

The sensor will only operate during daylight hours

the sensor will classify the length of each train according to one of the categories: Long, Medium or Short

The sensor will keep a running total of the number of trains in each category

The sensor will only respond to north bound trains

Design, using suitable pseudo-code/structured English, an algorithm for the above specification

using the standard problem solving constructs and the following operations and variables:

Direction(train) returns the value NORTH or SOUTH

Length(train) returns a value Long, Medium or Short

L, M and S are variables which can store integer values

13

Day_Light can be True or False

Exercise 11

Synopsis

Reflect and Feedback.

Assessment

You are to write a 500-1000 word reflective report on your studies for Computing

Fundamentals so far. Your reflective report should be based on the areas that the

national student survey questions, except instead of simply answering these questions

you will give examples, this is particularly important for areas where you feel things

could be improved upon. An example might be:

The teaching on my course is very good and the staff are excellent at explaining

technical topics, for example when we were introduced to a for loop the tutor took

time to explain the components of the loop until we all understood.

Or

The teaching on my course is ok but this could be improved upon, especially regarding

the technical topics. When the tutor explained the for loop he went through this too

quickly and left me confused. I’m still not entirely sure how to construct a loop

without first looking at my notes.

We encourage you to be critical and not concern yourself with how the tutor may

perceive your reflective report. The tutor is only interested in ensuring that they can

improve in areas that may need improvement and to continue good practice in areas

that you identify as good.

Submission

You are not to submit this work to Moodle as you have done previously. Instead you will submit to the

departmental administrator who will record the submission. Email to [email protected]

Exercise 12

We finish our introduction to data structures by looking at multi-dimensional arrays, these data

structures are similar to records. Do you know the fundamental difference between multi-dimensional

arrays and records?

This week we also begin object oriented concepts and programming.

Assessment

A software developer has been commissioned to create a stock control system for a computer supplier

in which personal computers (PCs) are to be modelled. He will need to be able to store for each type of

PC the following information: the name of the PC, the web site address of the manufacturer, the number

currently in stock and the selling price.

He will want to send messages to the PC object to make it carry out the following actions:

set the total number of PCs of this type currently in stock to a given value;

add a PC of this type to stock;

remove a PC of this type from stock;

reply with the number of PCs of this type currently in stock.

(a) Draw an object diagram for a suitable PC object showing the attributes and protocol as

described above with suitable names

(b) Suppose a PC object called PC1 is created with the name Dell Inspiron 7500. The manufacturer's

web site address is www.dell.co.uk. The supplier has initially a total of 25 of these PCs in stock.

The selling price is £1100. Redraw your answer to part (a) to show the initial state of PC1.

(c) Suppose the user of the stock control program carries out the following sequence of actions on

PC1.

set the number of PCs of this type to 40

add a PC of this type to stock

add a PC of this type to stock

remove a PC of this type from stock

Write a sequence of Java statements that would send suitable messages to PC1 using the

protocol you specified in part (a).

20

Redraw your answer to part (b) to show the resulting state of PC1.


You may find it useful to use the word processor table feature when creating the class diagrams.

Alternatively you may find it easier to you a presentation or graphics program and insert the class

diagram as an image. Whichever method you choose your work should be presented professionally and

similar to the format used when we presented class diagrams to you in the seminar exercises.

Assessment Details: Project

Either:

1) Construct a game/simulation in C based on a modern game/physics engine. The engine

we shall be studying is chipmunk. This is a 2d physics engine. However, many other

engines exist such a bullet, Box2d, Newton etc each have strengths and weaknesses

(some are 2d some are 3d based). You can use any of these engine to complete the

project. I suggest you look at reinventing the games from the 1980s and putting a modern

twist on them, (see http://www.tripletsandus.com/80s/80s_games/arcade.htm).

For example tetris with real gravity etc.

Chipmunk was used to produce one of the most successful games in 2010 called “world

of goo” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_of_Goo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-A_JfkzPwww

The game was included as one of the titles in the book “1001 Video Games You Must

Play Before You Die”.

Or

2) Investigate how C can be used to program small devices and create an Internet of Things

(IoT). This will involve specialist C coding and some electronics. Any device can be

connected to the internet. I suggest you use Arduino mega (ask me for these if

interested) a software package called “fritzing” to design the circuit and the Arduino IDE

or WinAVR to program it.

(a book is also provided in moodle to get you going)

However I have many other more powerful devices too depending on what you want to

build.

Essay in Applied Psychology (2000 words)


Essay in Applied Psychology (2000 words)



Assessment Details:

Essay Title:

Evaluate the application of a professional field of psychology

to the real world.

You are required to choose a professional field of psychology which

is of interest (e.g. Educational, Clinical, Health, Sport, Forensic,

Occupational, Neuropsychology, Counselling Psychology etc). You

need to choose a specific area within your chosen field, e.g. Eye

Witness Testimony (Forensic). You need to write an evidence

based essay on how psychology is applied to this area. This essay

should provide a comprehensive and evaluative literature review of

the application of psychology in the real world in relation to your

chosen area.

Detailed guidelines are enclosed. Students also have access to two

‘sample answers’ on Moodle with the accompanying peer marking

assessment workshop exercise.

Students will be able to collect their original answers to the essay

with feedback to help them improve the quality of their submission if

this is a reassessment. It is expected that students will apply any

improvements suggested. As this is a piece of coursework, it must

include a complete set of in-text citations and a references section.

The essay requires you to:

53

• Specialise in an applied area of professional psychology

which is of interest to you.

• Use psychological theory to critically evaluate understanding

within your area of choice.

• Access relevant psychological literature and to appropriately

cite this in the text. Use of web sites in references should be

almost non-existent—references should normally be peer

reviewed and academic.

The essay should be structured as follows:

– Brief introduction of your chosen topic - to set the

context

– A comprehensive and evaluative literature review

of your chosen area. Typically this will be research

and theory that has been applied to a population that

would be considered within one of the main strands of

professional chartered psychology.

Based on the literature review – include a synopsis of how

psychology can enhance quality of life or improve performance

in your chosen area of interest.

Your essay should be submitted to the ‘Applied Psychology

(reassessment)’ Turnitin available on Moodle by 26th August 2016

before midday. No submissions will be accepted after this time

unless an extension has been granted.

Clinical & Health Report (2500 words)


August Reassessment: Clinical & Health Report (2500 words)



Assessment Details:

You are required to write a 2500 word report which provides a holistic

and critical review of the biological, psychological and social factors

that impact on the quality of life of people living with either a chronic

illness, neurological or psychiatric disorder (not outlined in the

course). The report must also assess how health and/or clinical

psychology interventions can enhance the quality of life of their

chosen patient group.

The report requires you to:

Specialise in a disorder/illness which is of interest to you. (You

cannot choose the following topics as they were covered on

the course; Schizophrenia, Epilepsy, Parkinson’s Disease,

Dementia, Eating Disorders).

Write an evidence based report on how psychology is applied

to this area.

Provide a comprehensive and evaluative literature review of

the application of psychology to your chosen patient group.

Access relevant psychological literature and to appropriately

cite this in the text. Use of web sites in references should be

almost non-existent—references should normally be peer

reviewed and academic.

To help you write the report you are encouraged to contact external

agencies to investigate how professionals

61

(Psychologists/organisations) apply psychology in their work. You are

required to evidence this contact in the appendices of the report and

integrate this to support the main text.

Detailed guidelines are enclosed and students also have access to

two ‘sample answers’ on Moodle.

Students will be able to collect their original answers to the report with

feedback to help them improve the quality of their submission if this is

a reassessment. It is expected that students will apply any

improvements suggested. As this is a piece of coursework, it should

a complete set of in-text citations and a references section.

The report is:

A purposeful collection of work that exhibits your efforts,

progress, and achievements in your chosen topic. The

collection should include the following:

Contents page (evidence that you have participated in

selecting appropriate material for inclusion)

Brief introduction/background of your chosen chronic

illness/ neurological or psychiatric disorder including

definitions, signs, symptoms and clinical features - to set

the context.

A comprehensive and evaluative literature review of

your chosen area. Typically this will be research and

theory relating to the biological/psychological and social

factors that impact on the quality of life of your chosen

patient group.

Future research suggestions

Based on the literature review - a synopsis of how

psychological research/interventions can aid the

quality of life/ rehabilitation and/or remediation of

difficulties to your chosen patient group

The report should represent a collection of your best efforts,

and can include your own self-selected samples of work

62

experiences related to the outcomes being assessed, and

reflect your growth and development in this area. Examples of

this include the following (please indicate why you have

included the items if they are not integrated into the report; if

they are you can cross-index them):

Information leaflets

Experiences of interacting with appropriate

psychologists/professionals (interviews/correspondence)

A copy of your Clinical & Health presentation and

feedback

Your essay should be submitted to the ‘Clinical & Health Report

(reassessment)’ Turnitin available on Moodle by 26th August

2016 before midday. No submissions will be accepted after this

time unless an extension has been granted.

Literature review in forensic psychology (Reassessment)


2500 (including references)

Assessment Details:

Please choose one of the four essay titles below.

If you previously submitted an essay for this course and failed

it, you must choose a different essay title for your

reassessment.

The word limit is 2,500 words (including references). Your

essay should be submitted to the ‘Cognitive Neuroscience Resit’

Turnitin on Moodle by 26th August 2016 by midday. No

submissions will be accepted after this time unless an extension

has been granted.

1) Describe how learning mechanisms contribute to errors in

eye witness testimony

Guidance: This topic requires you to link the literature on

memory formation to its practical application in the field of

forensic psychology. You need to explain the theory of memory

encoding and show how various forms of interference lead to

mistakes in eye witnesses.

2) Discuss why profiling is popular in spite of its flaws

Guidance: You will explain the principles and main points of

profiling in psychology. You will then exposes the weakness of

this method and offer an explanation as to why profiling, in

particular with serial killers, is very positively perceived by the

public.

64

3) Discuss whether learning theories can be applied to serial

killers’ modus operandi

Guidance: By using the theories accounting for skill

development and expertise acquisition you will explain which

aspects if any of modus operandi are subject to improvement.

You will ultimately evaluate the learning theories you have used

in regard to skill development in serial killers.

4) Use the neural evidence on aggression and learning to

explain the development of fantasies in serial killers

Guidance: In this question you should use evidence from

cognitive neuroscience and neurobiology to explain how learning

mechanisms underpin the development of sexual fantasies in

sexual serial killers.

Section B -Psychopathology Seen Case Study Report (Mary)


August Reassessment:- Section A (34 Multiple Choice Tests Questions) and

Section B -Psychopathology Seen Case Study Report (Jeff)


2 hours (formal exam)

Assessment Details:

This is a formal exam that will be held during the August Re-

assessment Period. The exam timetable will be published by student

administration.

In section A students are required to answer 34 multiple choice test

questions (34%).

In section B students are required to read a seen case study about

Jeff (enclosed) which equated to 66% of the total exam mark.

You are allowed to take a copy of the case study in to the exam with

250 words of handwritten notes on. To answer the question you need

to:

a) Evaluate the case and make a diagnosis of the problem (which

they justify)– (40%)

b) Suggest what treatment the individual should receive (which they

justify). Students must also discuss the likely prognosis of the

disorder (40%)

c) Finally students will need to highlight any ethical considerations

that will need to be taken in to account when diagnosing and treating

this particular individual (20%).

Students will be able to collect their original answers to the exam with

66

feedback to help them improve the quality of their submission if this is

a reassessment. It is expected that students will apply any

improvements suggested to the new case study.

Detailed guidelines are enclosed. This section in the exam should be

divided into three parts to help you organise your answer and address

all the important areas.

a) Evaluate the subject (40%).

(i) What is your diagnosis? Why do you think Mary fits the

criteria for whatever conditions you think she is suffering

from?

(ii) Why doesn’t she meet the criteria for any other plausible

diagnosis (only do this if the alternatives seem possible)?

What might have caused it?

- 20% is awarded for giving the DSM-V criteria and showing how

Jeff meets these by drawing on the case study for evidence.

- 20%, is given for showing how evidence from various parts of the

Personal History and Presenting Complaint material rule out other

diagnoses, provide clues as to how this condition first began and

how it is maintained, fits with our knowledge about risk factors,

and where Jeff does not meet common symptoms of the condition

you have diagnosed.

You want to show an awareness of the different types of possible risk

factors, even if you are saying that they do not seem to apply in this

case. Mental illness always exists in a social and environmental

context.

Consider evidence from: the clinical interview; the family history; the

subject’s social functioning; the subject’s self-report; the subject’s

interpersonal relations.

Referring to other sources, such as journal papers, is good. For

example, you might say that ‘Ellesberer (2001) found that 80% of

people with trichotillomania also show symptoms of social phobia.

67

This may explain why Carol has had three panic attacks before

presenting reports to the management board at work, even though

she does not meet the other diagnostic criteria for either social phobia

or agoraphobia with panic disorder.’

b) Treatment and prognosis. (40%)

What would you do at once? What is your medium to long-term plan?

How will you monitor progress and choose between possible

treatments? What is the subject’s prognosis (i.e. will they recover? To

what extent? What is risk of relapse?)?

The marks are divided up between various aspects of treatment.

You must justify your decisions by using evidence from the case

study and this is a good place to use evidence from other sources

(e.g. papers on the best treatment for the condition; expert consensus

– good sources are Cochran reviews and the DSM-V treatment

advice after the criteria for each condition).

A variety of good sources raises your marks. (You only need the

name & date to use in your writing; you do not give a reference

section!)

A guide to how the marks are divided is:

i) Immediate treatment (e.g. hospitalisation, ECT,

removal from home). Explain why needed. 5%

ii) Drug treatment. Justify choice of drug, dose,

length of time, etc. Mention drawbacks. 5%

iii) Cognitive/CBT treatment. Justify exactly what

method will be used, explain what for, number of

sessions, etc. 5%

iv) Social therapy. Why needed, which therapeutic

methods, how long for. 5%

v) Interpersonal therapy. Why needed, who should

be involved (usually involves family/partners),

methods. 5%

68

vi) Clear, concise summary of treatment and justified

prognosis. 10%

vii) Additional relevant suggestions. Often specific to

condition, e.g. flooding for some phobias. 5%

a) Ethical considerations (20%).

There are always ethical dimensions when diagnosing and treating

mental illness, it is hoped that you will carry this awareness into your

careers, your personal lives and any voluntary work you do. Are the

subject’s normal rights being over-ridden? Is this justified and

monitored? Is there fully informed consent? If not, what are the

safeguards? What are the negative consequences (e.g. being

labelled ‘mad’ has potentially serious consequences; ECT, drugs,

surgery can all have dramatic unwanted ‘side effects’; many non-

biological therapies can involve the therapist changing the subject into

what the therapist thinks is a ‘better’ person), talking therapies have

their own dangers (such as transference, or becoming dependent on

the therapist).

You need to think about the usual ethical issues and see if they are

relevant to this case. Use evidence from the case study to help make

your points. When you identify an ethical problem explain why it is

important in this case and suggest how it can be dealt with. You may

also recognise potential ethical problems that you can suggest how to

avoid.

If you can refer to other sources (e.g. BPS and/or APA ethical

guidelines; books and papers about clinical ethics) to support

your discussion of the ethical issues it will add to the quality.

CASE STUDY (JEFF)

PRESENTING COMPLAINT

Like many Americans, Jeff has loved cars for as long as he can

remember. Throughout his childhood he collected toy cars and built

69

models. As he grew older, his infatuation became a passion. About

ten years ago he bought a dilapidated 1956 Chevy two-door hardtop.

Over the next several years he lovingly restored it to show-winning

condition. Last year he bought a Corvette of the same vintage, which,

though drivable, will require significant restoration work in his

specially prepared garage workshop. He is a car fanatic outside his

garage as well. He watches at least one car race every weekend,

subscribes to eleven car magazines, and serves as Vice President of

the Motor City Chapter of the Tri-Chevy Association. He doesn't mind

the winter planning meetings with other club officers, but he lives for

the frequent summer events, where he can live and breathe antique

Chevy’s.

This weekend his club met at Mid-Ohio Raceway, but he didn't go. In

the last two months he had missed three similar events and one

planning meeting. His favourite parts stores went unvisited, races

went unwatched, magazines piled up unread, his 'Vette’ languished

untouched. He hadn't even sat in his hardtop for over a month. The

cars he had loved so fervently before now held nothing for him; he

just didn't care.

Work was pretty much the same story. He used to feel lucky; he

designed cars, and got paid for it. He even got a promotion a few

months ago, from Design Engineer to Project Manager. At first things

seemed to go well, but soon he started having trouble getting his new

staff organized, and they fell behind on their deadlines. The more he

was pushed to make his group productive, the more out of control

things got. One Engineer transferred to another department, and

others were looking to leave. Even his secretary was being resentful

and defensive. He knew his group was doing badly, but he had no

idea what he should do. So he did nothing, and gradually he stopped

caring. He called in sick as much as he dared. He wasn't turning out

to be such a great manager.

Nor was he a great father. It used to be that dinner was always family

70

time, and after dinner he always made time for the girls, bathing them

(until they got too old for that), reading them stories, or playing

computer games. Only after they were tucked in bed and settled in for

the night did he retreat to his sacred workshop downstairs. But in the

last month or so he had barely talked to his children. He cannot

remember at what point their games became annoying and irritating,

or the point at which he began stare at the TV all evening. Eventually

he gave up the TV too, because he couldn't stand Renee's accusing

looks when she passed by. Now when he came home he just went to

the garage and sat.

He stared blankly at his two '56 Chevy’s. Once they had been his

pride and joys. Now when he looked at them he felt nothing. Nothing

seemed to matter anymore: his cars, his job, his family. His life?

Thoughts about his death occurred frequently in the past few weeks,

and they returned now. It was hard to see the point of living. There

was his family, but he had life insurance. Would it be enough to

support them? Probably. Would Renee remarry? Undoubtedly. And

no doubt to a much better husband and father than he was. But a

suicide might be hard on Renee and the girls. It would be better if it

were an accident. Walk in front of a bus? Drive off a cliff, into a bridge

support? He wouldn't use his Chevy’s, that would be wasteful. The

Camaro would do. It used to be that thoughts of his death made him a

little scared, but lately they seemed to have a calming effect. As he

was sitting there calmly contemplating his suicide, the phone rang.

Jeff: Hello?

Bill: Hey, Jeff, it's Bill! We missed you this weekend. I haven't seen

you in a while.

Jeff: Yes, well...

Bill: How's the 'Vette coming?

Jeff: About the same; I haven't done much. I haven't done anything.

Nothing.

Bill: You know, you don't sound too good. Is everything alright?

Jeff: I don't know.

71

Bill: You know, Jeff, you sound pretty down. Are you feeling OK?

Do you want to talk to somebody or something? Is there anything I

can do?

Jeff: I don't know. Um, wait. Maybe there is something.

Bill: Name it.

Jeff: What's the name of your friend in the Psychology Department,

the one who works at the clinic?

Five minutes later the phone rang again, and a man introduced

himself as "Bill's friend from the clinic." After some brief introductions

he asked Jeff to describe what led to his referral for therapy. After Jeff

recounted his thoughts that night, therapist asked Jeff to meet him at

the university hospital in twenty minutes. He then asked Jeff to put

Renee on the phone. He explained who he was and that Jeff needed

to go to the hospital, maybe for a few days. And, he added, she was

to drive.

PERSONAL HISTORY

Jeff is a 37-year-old Mechanical Engineer employed as a Design

Manager for an automobile corporation in Detroit. Renee is an

Assistant Principal of an elementary school. They and their two

daughters live in an upper-middle class suburb.

Jeff grew up in a middle-class suburb of Cleveland. His father was the

Vice President and General Manager of a small manufacturing firm

until his retirement seven years ago. His mother held a series of

part-time secretarial jobs. Jeff has two older sisters. The elder is an

Oncologist in San Francisco; she is divorced. The younger is married

to a Real Estate Broker and does not work outside the home.

Jeff's father ran his company with a firm hand, and he did the same

with his family, especially his only son. He rarely gave praise for work

well done, though he was quick to criticize any mistake. He made little

fuss when Jeff graduated with his master's degree, nor even when his

sister graduated from medical school. He was a stern but fair

disciplinarian; he could be harsh in his punishments, but Jeff said, he

72

usually deserved them. According to Jeff, his father's most central

characteristic is his stubbornness. He was convinced of his own

correctness and never wavered. His father seems to have mellowed

in his old age, though, and is generally amicable, though still strict,

during visits with Jeff's family.

Jeff's mother was a relative nonentity in the house who was

completely dominated by her overbearing husband. His older sister

was often bossy with her friends and siblings, though perfectly

subservient to their father. His other sister was something of a rebel in

high school, but she seems to have settled down when she started

her family. Jeff remains close to this sister and maintains a distant

but cordial relationship with the elder sibling.

Jeff estimates that his childhood experiences were fairly normal.

Although he did not have a close relationship with his parents or his

older sister, he and his younger sister shared many close

experiences. He described several typical childhood mishaps, such

as when he broke his leg falling out of a tree; he denied any

psychologically traumatic episodes or instance abuse. His father did

use corporal punishment, but Jeff never saw it as excessive or

unwarranted. "He'd pop us once in a while, but he never lost control,

and we generally knew what we were in for before it happened."

When asked to describe his marriage, at first he could only talk about

what a poor father and husband he was and how he found almost

everything Renee and the girls did was annoying and pointless. Lately

they interacted very little, and when they did they treated him with a

mixture of concern, frustration, and contempt. When he described

some fun family event, his attitude took on a wistful tone, as if he was

remembering a pleasant vacation long past. Later in therapy Jeff was

able to describe his marriage more fully and more objectively. He and

Renee met while in graduate school, and they married a few months

after graduating with their master's degrees. He described their

marriage, as a "real partnership" where both shared in the dome

duties. He had probably changed more diapers and cooked more

73

dinners than she had, he observed. His only real complaint was that

sometimes she took on a dominant, bossy attitude. In some ways she

was like his father and older sister, always having to have her way.

He resented this, especially after spending all day being harangued

by his section chief and hassled by his secretaries and co-workers.

Jeff's description of his job followed a similar pattern. Before the past

few months, Jeff's generally enjoyed his job. He had the unavoidable

conflicts with demanding bosses and disgruntled subordinates, but on

the whole he looked forward to work. But things changed after his

promotion. The productivity of his group declined rapidly, but the

section chief became more insistent that Jeff's group be productive.

He felt trapped and overwhelmed. On the one hand, he recognized a

lot of the inefficiencies and redundancies of his group, but he felt he

couldn't get them to adopt his plans. They showed him little respect.

One member had already transferred to another project, and almost

everyone else wanted to follow. On the other hand, Jeff felt too

humiliated to ask someone for help in managing his project group. It

made sense to talk to other project managers, as Renee had often

told him to do, but he couldn't bring himself to bother them with his

own problems.

When asked about his friendships, Jeff remarked that he really didn't

have any. Renee seemed to have many friends, who were teachers

and administrators, and he had several casual acquaintances at his

job, at least he did until recently. They knew several parents of their

children's classmates, but no one well. He could not call anyone a

close friend. "What about Bill?" asked the therapist? Jeff thought of

his fellow club members primarily as fellow car fanatics, not as

friends. But, he remembers Bill's concern, and he had received calls

and cards from other club members. He thought he might have some

friends after all.

1) Critically discuss individual differences in colour vision as a

window into the mechanisms and stages of processing in the visual

system

Guidance:

Variation in colour vision, normal vs. abnormal, first and foremost

depends on the inherited structure of an individual’s photopigments

in the retina. In addition to this genetic blueprint, other factors,

relating to various loci upstream in the visual system, contribute to

individual differences: optical – iris colour, lens opaqueness (that

increases with age); structural – number and density of ganglion

and cortical cells; physiological – signal efficiency transmission

(which improves till young adulthood, but then deteriorates with age

or development of certain diseases); cognitive – colour categories

available in native language; culturally-specific symbolism;

77

education; vocation; gender etc. Analyses of individual differences

in colour vision help to elucidate visual processes, as well as the

interrelation of the underlying neural and cognitive mechanisms.

2) Evaluate how good are electromagnetic properties of matter in

informing about psychological processes.

Guidance:

fMRI is a technology that stands at the crossroads between several

disciplines. It is primarily a technology from physics. At the lowest

level, events are described with electromagnetic fields,

electromagnetic signals, and particles. At an intermediate level

physiology is dominant with concepts such the haemodynamic

response function. At the highest level of analysis stands

psychology which basically describes cognitive functions. By

highlighting how the levels connect, show how progress in

psychology depends upon progress in other disciplines

3) Memory Consolidation: Critically examine the differences

between synaptic and system consolidation, and their importance to

explain memory function.

Guidance:

Some memories are preserved for a long time, whereas others are

lost. Detail the neurobiological mechanisms of information storage,

describing the neurological structures involved and what leads to

long-lasting memories; in addition, critically discuss the transition

from a hippocampus-dependent storage mechanism (synaptic) to a

cortical-based one (system) with particular emphasis on studies

with clinical populations (e.g., brain damage).

4) Critically evaluate the contribution of EEG research to our

understanding of emotional processes in the brain

Guidance:

EEG is a technique that has been widely applied to research on

emotions. You should examine, in particular, the event-related

78

potentials (ERPs) technique, and how this technique has been used

to reveal knowledge about how the brain processes emotional

information. In particular you should concentrate on the various

ERP components (for example, the late positive potential) that have

been reliably associated with emotional processes. You would also

need to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the ERP

technique, and discuss how other techniques could overcome these

limitations to give converging evidence about brain processes

related to emotion.
