Debriefing = ppt told aim of studying false memory (aft study)

Informed consent= ppt told they were expected to recall childhood memories

    1= def did NOT happen before age of 10
    8= def DID happen before age of 10
20

    childhood experience of loving aspargus
  • beleivers more likely to rate aspargus as more appetsing + less disgusting
21
Q

one result from FHI of exp 2

A
  • mean confidence of love group increased MORE than control group
22
Q

describe procedure for exp 1 when ppt returned for session 2 untill FHI completed

  4. completed RQ/FHI for 2nd time
  5. completed memory or belief questionnaire + DEBRIEFED
24
Q

outline 1 methodological weakness

A
  • some q’s fixed choices answers so may not represent real answer
  • e.g FCQ had 7 choices so not representative of what others may pay

A
  • lab exp
  • IM
  • IV= whether ppt had false belief or not
  • DV= response to 4 q’s + slideshow
29
Q

results exp 2

A

  • 3o ppt excluded
30
Q

Andrade + laney

A
  • experimental in nature.
  • both studies had manipulated IVs.
  • andrade conditions of doodling and non-doodling
  • Laney two conditions of love asparagus and a control.

A
  • Memories are subjective experiences
  • ppt saying had a specific memory about
    asparagus may not be true before the false memory implanted
