State an aim of the Canli et al. Study - answer To show that emotive
images will be remembered better than those that have little
emotional impact on an individual.
Evaluate Canli et al. usefulness in psychology - answer May be
useful to advertising companies; they can use emotionally intense
information that is likely to be recognized later on with the use of
emotionally intense imagery.
The brain as well was studied in an active state.
But the study does serve to be reductionist since it only focuses on
one portion of the brain (amygdala) and the study doesn't enable
insight to the brains function in a natural environment.
What type of design was Canli et al. ? - answer Repeated measures;
Participants were first viewed 96 images while attached to the FMRI
scanner. 3 weeks later the participants were tested in an
unexpected recognition test viewing the 96 previous images and 48
new ones (foils). Participants were asked if they had seen each
scene before with certainty or not.
How was Canli et al. sample gathered? - answer Volunteer
Refer to the nature vs. nurture debate in the Canli et al. study -
answer Some argue that the findings because they are emotions
linked to brain function that the study supports a link to nature but
on the flip side experiences were not taken into account in the study
so it could be nurture causing the results.
, A strength of the biological approach used in Canli et al. - answer
With the use of sophisticated machinery such as the FMRI scanner it
allowed researchers to focus on the amygdala to study the
relationship between emotional experience and long term memory.
Prior to this technological advance the brain could not be actively
studied unless subject was dead.
A weakness of the biological approach used in Canli et al. - answer
Scientific machinery requires tests to be down in a lab which results
in low ecological validity. The participants as well had to lie very still
in order for the machine to gain accurate results. Using these
machines remains to be very costly as well as time consuming.
Resulting in the use of a very small group of participants being used
making the findings not generalizable.
Who were the participants in Canli et al. - answer 10 right handed
healthy females
State an aim of the Dement & Kleitman study - answer Does dream
recall differ between eye movement {REM} and non {REM} sleep
Evaluate Dement & Kleitman usefulness in psychology - answer
Objective data was gathered from an EEG (Electroencephalograph)
and it furthers our understanding of how the brain works giving first
major insight into REM sleep and its direct link to dreaming.
But, the sample size is small and issues with the gender of the
sample could arise, so the findings are not generalizable. Due to low
ecological validity the findings are not useful in describing real
sleeping behavior.
How many participants were in Dement & Kleitman's study and how
was this sample gathered? - answer 7 males and 2 females,
volunteer sample (American)
Explain the use of psychometrics in Dement & Kleitman - answer
The use of the EEG allowed for scientific measurements in terms of
