Know how the rational and the empirical methods are combined by
scientists to generate and test research questions and hypotheses.
Know at which steps in the scientific process these methods are
most relevant. Know why we need both to generate good research
and why we should not just rely on one or the other. - answer
rational methods use logical reasoning while empirical methods use
direct observation. Scientists use these methods as well as other
ones to make the Scientific Method. The rational method is most
relevant in the Hypothesis and Prediction. While the empirical
method is most relevant in the Empirical study. We need both
methods (rational and empirical) to make a prediction from what we
already know (rational) to then conduct studies and observations to
see if your study is true (empirical).
Create or identify hypotheses based on a theory described on the
exam -
For example, the theory of [social learning, which states that
children learn how to behave indirectly, by watching models
(adults/parents) perform a behavior and then receive a reward or a
punishment.]
Generate three research hypotheses that are all based on this
theory, but that would apply the theory in different contexts and
with different populations. State each hypothesis clearly. - answer
❖ children learn bad behavior through models (parent/adult)
