State one strength and one weakness in this study.
Strength:
- Controlled demand characteristics and social desirability bias meaning the researchers have internal validity.
- Questionnaires help operationalise the DV and also allow standardization as quantitative data is being gathered.
Weakness:
- little ecological validity, because completing a questionnaire and ordering in real-life restaurants may not have the same outcome.
- participants variables, reduces validity.
- the study was a snapshot study hence cannot determine how long the effects of false memories will last.
- study does not generalisable, as they are use studen and also male female rate yo not equal, so fak yo mam.
How does the study use mundane realism, what is mundane realism
mimic real-life scenarios mundane realism. restaurant questionnaire was formatted like a menu
Describe the RQ completed by participants

State one conclusion from each experiment. (no answer from eva because she cheated)
Experiment 1:
- positive false memories can be implemented, and false beliefs can have consequences on behaviour and food preferences.
Experiment 2:
- participants can be given false positive food beliefs which have consequences on behaviour, food preference, and food memories. Believers are more likely to rate asparagus to be more appetizing.
