Aims
Investigate amygdala response to varying emotionally intense images
Canli et al
9 participants, 7 male, 2 female. Only 5 were used for a majority of the study.
Dement and Kleitman
Participants were informed, misinformed, ignorant, or given a placebo condition
Schacter & Singer
Amygdala activation is significantly correlated with higher ratings of individually experienced emotional intensity
Canli et al
When publishing participant data, using only the initials ensures that this, is maintained
confidentiality
To investigate the role cognitive factors have in the experience of emotion
Schacter and Singer
10 right handed healthy females chosen for greater emotional response.
Canli et al
3 weeks later participants were given an unexpected recognition test
Canli et al
If there is no physiological arousal then any experience we have will be dismissed and there will be no emotion felt was supported by this study
Schacter and Singer
The generalisability of Canli et al is limited because only these were selected for the study
women
In the study Canli et al, experimenters were looking to see if the intensity of an emotion would impact how the amygdala could aid in _______
memory recall
University of Minnesota Intro Psychology course
Schacter and Singer
Viewed scenes were randomized and shown for 2.88 seconds
Canli et al
In this study about dreams, it was determined that they were more likely to be reported in this phase of sleep.
These were used to evaluate dream content, however, participants could have "filled in the gaps" for what they didn't remember
self-reports
Dement and Kleitman were studying if there was a positive correlation between subjective estimates of dream duration and the length of _____
REM
The experimental design that requires every participant in your sample to complete all aspects of an experiment
repeated measures
The study of two-factor theory of emotion required this, in order to reduce demand characteristics and maintain valid results
deception
cognitions
While observing participants interact with the stooge, observers recorded their findings separately in order to preserve this
interrater reliability
Schacter and Singer proposed if there is no physiological arousal then any cognition we have we would ______ and experience no emotion.
dismiss
This was used in order to collect quantitative data of dreams and sleep cycles
The finding that the length of REM and its estimation by the participant are very similar shows that dreams are experienced in
Psychologists may argue that in Canli et al emotions are linked to brain function, however, individual participant experiences were not taken into account for this study. This is an example of the debate between
