assumptions of cog and case studies

Question 1

what are the cognative assumptions

Answer 1

that our brain works like a computor on the principles of input-processing-output

Question 2

what are the four a01 points for case studies

Answer 2

case studies are indepth and detailed investigations on an individual brain damaged paitent or a group of brain damaged paitents.

both quantitative and qualatative data is collected on brain damaged paitents using triangualtation, and resources such as brain scans, interviews and observations to analyse brain damaged paitents behaviour

case studies are often longitudinal and happen over an extended period of time and focus on an individual paitent with brain damage or a small group of paintents with brain damage. as the study is longitudinal it allows researchers to compare notes through the length of the study

case studies often use both primary data such as observations of brain damaged paintents behaviour of secondary data such as doctor or hospital notes

Question 3

what is a strength of case studies

Answer 3

supporting research from HM

Question 4

what does HM supporting research show

Answer 4

a case study was conucted on hm who suffered from epilepsy and underwent surgery at 27, as a result he couldn’t form any new memories and only remeber ones before 27

Question 5

what is a weakness of case studies

Answer 5

pop valid

Question 6

how is pop valid a weakness of case studies

Answer 6

only conducted on one individual with brain damage , t/f lacks generalisbaility on findings on brain damage in humans

Question 7

what is anouther strength

Answer 7

triangulation

Question 8

how is triangulation a strength

Answer 8

uses lots of different types of data colection - increases validity

Question 9

what is anouther strength

qualatative datawh

Question 10
