Answer
-
It was in a Syrain Kibbutz

It was in an Israeli Kibbutz

They tested the strange situation on children
-
Upon reunion they reacted the same to the metapelets as they did the mothers.

This showed secondary attachments are not made.
Question 10
Question
In the study of Lorenz's Ducks, Lorenz was the first object the geese saw.
Question 11
Question
In Lorenz's study the geese followed him around because he had food.
Question 12
Question
In Lorenz's ducks the geese followed him around instinctively because it was good for survival and forming adult relationships.
Question 13
Question

Answer
-
1ST: proved US (food) -> UR (salivation)
-
1ST: rung a bell to make the dog bark.
-
2ND: realised the dog started to salivate on association with the lab assistant.
-
2ND: realised the dog started to salivate when it saw the food.
-
3RD: used a bell as a CS to increase salivation (CR)
-
3RD: used a bell as a CR to increase salivation CS
Question 14
Question
Pavlov's dogs was a study showing classical conditioning.

Answer
-
Imposed etics
-
There are cross cultural differences
-

Japan is judged as a dependent country whereas Germany is the opposite.
Question 16
Question
What is the Primacy effect?
Question 17
Question
Why did the case study of Clive Wearing support the Multi- Store Memory model?
Answer
-
STM and LTM are separate
-
There is proof that STM is impaired but LTM is not- his wife
-
He was able to elaborate onto his STM and transfer into LTM
-
Interception meant he failed to retain his LTM
Question 18
Question
An evaluation of both WMM and MSMM is that "it is over-simplified".
Question 19
Question
Tick the correct definitions of the components from Working Memory Model:
Answer
-
Central executive is the boss and directs the information as well as helping with problem solving
-
The phonological loop is the part of working memory that deals with spoken and written material
o Phonological StoreHolds information in speech-based form (i.e. spoken words) for 1-2 seconds.
o Articulatory control process is used to rehearse and store verbal information from the phonological store.
-
Visuo-Spatial Sketchpad stores and processes information in a visual or spatial form. It is used for navigation.
-
The Visuo-spatial sketchpad is used to process memories of numbers and letters.
-
The Central executive's only use is to store information
-
The episodic buffer helps us to understand information and is the only way that information can be held into the LTM
-
The episodic buffer is used as an extra storage cell.
-
Phonological loop is used only for auditory information and we can retain the information for up to 2 minutes.
Question 20
Question
In the SC Study only the phonological loop was damaged. This meant he could not do most of the learning activities but learning pairs of words.
Question 21
Question
What are methods of improving memory?
Answer
-
METHOD OF LOCI: associating familiar objects with certain pieces of information.
-
REHERSAL: Constantly repeating the information till it is stored in the LTM.
-
MIND MAP: Sub-headed information into smaller chunks. Pictures and colours also help with visual learning.
-
QUIZZES: Help to learn the information as you are aware of where you have gone wrong and where to improve.
-
CHUNKING: Memory is enhances- easier to maintain in STM. Can recall 5 words and 5 letters.
Question 22
Question
Sperling found the capacity of memory to be 0.7 seconds from his study where he showed participants a grid for 50 miliseconds.
Question 23
Question
Millers Magic number was 7+-2
Question 24
Question
Encoding features are:
Answer
-
ICONIC STORE: Visual Info
-
Echoic Store: auditory information
-
Spechatic store: information from speech
-
Haptic store: physical eg tough
-
Tangible store: physical
Question 25
Question
The three stages of EWT memory are:
Answer
-
Encoding, Retention and Retrieval
-
Concentrate, Encoding and Retrieval
Question 26
Question
Loftus and Palmer were the psychologists to primarily study into EWT and misleading information
Question 27
Question
Memon et al, Yarmey and Parka&Carranza were all concerned with age in eye witness testimony.
Question 28
Question
The own age bias can be explained through:
Answer
-
Similarly hypothesis- more contact with certain age group= more accurate memory for those individuals.
-
Differential experience hypothesis: More contact with certain age/ethnicity group= more accurate memory for those individuals.
-
The perceptual learning hypothesis: because we encounter members of our own age group regularly= better at processing their faces= better memory
-
The Perceptual learning hypothesis: because we perceive people in a certain way, those who are similar to us in terms of looks and personality= better memory for those certain people.
Question 29
Question
The Validity of something is the extent to which an experiment measures what it is set out to measure:
Question 30
Question
With individual differences as an experimental design there are order effects
Question 31
Question
Ethics may not be a major concern with the benefits outweigh the costs.
