Question 3

Answer 3

Retrieval is the process of getting something back from somewhere. In this case, the memory.

Question 4

What is the multi store model and who devised it?

Answer 4

The multi store model suggest that memory is made up of a series of stores(LTM,STM and sensory), and describe memory in terms of information flowing through a system.

Question 5

What is reconstructive memory?

Answer 5

Bartlett ’s theory of reconstructive memory is crucial to an understanding of the reliability of eyewitness testimony as he suggested that recall is subject to personal interpretation dependent on our learnt or cultural norms and values, and the way we make sense of our world.

Question 6

What are the levels of processing?

Answer 6

The levels of processing describes memory recall of stimuli as a function of the depth of mental processing.
Deeper levels of analysis produce more elaborate, longer lasting, and stronger memory traces than shallow levels of analysis.

Question 10

What are stereotype?

what is a study into stereotypes in EWT

Answer 10

A stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person.

Question 11

What might studies into EWT lack ecological validity?

Answer 11

Some studies may lack ecological validity because laboratory research is conducted in an artificial situation,
this means that it may lack ecological validity. therefore the findings cannot be generalised outside of the laboratory setting.

Question 12

What are the function of eye contact?

Answer 12

is to indicate how interested a person is in the communication taking place.
It could also suggest trust and truthfulness. Often, then people are being untruthful, they tend to look away and resist eye contact.

Furthermore, eye contact portrays someone’s involvement and attention. Attention is a function of eye contact that can be both negatively and positively affect by a person’s gaze.

Question 17

What are the differences between stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination?

Answer 17

A stereotype is a belief about a certain group of people.

Prejudice is a feeling about a person based on their membership in a group. Both stereotypes and prejudice can be either positive or negative.

Discrimination is an action that denies the rights of a person due to their membership in a group.

Answer 19

The practical implications of stereotyping , prejudice and discrimination is

Question 20

Define hypothesis

Answer 20

A hypothesis (plural hypotheses) is a precise, testable statement of what the researchers predict will be the outcome of the study.

Question 21

Define Independent and Dependent Variable

Answer 21

• Independent variable (IV): Variable the experimenter manipulates (i.e. changes) – assumed to have a direct effect on the dependent variable.

• Dependent variable (DV):
Variable the experimenter measures, after making changes to the IV that are assumed to affect the DV.

Question 26

How is standardised procedure used?

Answer 26

Standard procedure is

Question 27

What are extraneous variable?

Answer 27

-These are all variables, which are not the independent variable, but could affect the results (e.g. dependent variable) of the experiment.

Question 28

Advantages of a lab study ?

Answer 28

Advantage-
-It is easier to replicate (i.e. copy) a laboratory experiment. This is because a standardized procedure is used.

-They allow for precise control of extraneous and independent variables. This allows a cause and effect relationship to be established

Question 29

Advantages of a natural experiment?

Answer 29

Advantages-
-Behaviour in a natural experiment is more likely to reflect real life because of its natural setting, i.e. very high ecological validity.

-Can be used in situations in which it would be ethically unacceptable to manipulate the independent variable, e.g. researching stress.

Question 30

What are the disadvantages of lab experiment?

Answer 30

Disadvantages-

The artificiality of the setting may produce unnatural behavior that does not reflect real life, i.e. low ecological validity. This means it would not be possible to generalise the findings to a real life setting.

• Demand characteristics or experimenter effects may bias the results and become confounding variables.

Question 31

What are the disadvantages of natural experiment?

Answer 31

Disadvantages-

• They may be more expensive and time consuming than lab experiments.
• There is no control over extraneous variables that might bias the results. This makes it difficult for another researcher to replicate the study in exactly the same way.

Question 32

What is demand characteristics?

Answer 32

the clues in an experiment that lead the participants to think they know what the researcher is looking for (e.g. experimenter’s body language).
