what are the results of the synesthete consistency experiment
consistency where synesthetes tend to see same colors associated with same letter
300
what did the results show in the source test experiment between the younger and older participants?
while there was no big difference between younger and older adults in the word test but the older adults were impaired in the source or context test
300
did the changes in verbs affect the results in the car speed experiment? if so how?
yes the stronger the verb such as smashed made people guess higher speeds versus verbs like hit
300
what kind of pictures were presented in the photoshop experiment
3 pictures that were true and not altered and 1 that was altered and pictured a false memory
300
what types of tests where used in the explicit age experiment and who did better in each?
item recognition-older adults did better and free recall- younger adults did better
400
what is an organized knowledge structure that reflects an individuals knowledge experience and expectations about some aspect of the world
schema
400
What were the 2 source memory tests given in the truth of source experiment and which subjects did better with each test? Why this could be?
In the name source test, younger adults did better In the truth test, older adults did better possibly because the truth test gave meaning to the statements, making it easier for them to remember.
400
What type of questions were asked in the stop sign experiment?
congruent- Used stop sign in their questions about the accident when there was a stop sign in the scene. incongruent- Used yield sign in their questions about the accident when there was actually a stop sign.
400
what were the results of the lost-at-the-mall experiment
participants recalled 68% of the true events presented to them and 29% of the participants had remembered the false memories implanted with the fake story
400
What is the episodic associative task and the semantic associative task in the semantic age experiment?
The episodic associative task was when subjects were given unrelated word pairings to remember. The semantic associative task was when the subjects were given related word pairings to remember.

why was it important to have the relatives of participants for the photoshop experiment and the lost-at-the-mall experiment
relatives provided photos in photoshop experiment and generated information regarding when the participants were 4-6 in lost-in-the-mall experiment
500
