Research Methods
This is the method where as an independent variable is manipulated in a natural setting.
Field Experiment
This study examined the relationship between a damaged prefrontal cortex in Vietnam Veterans and aggression.
Grafman
This term refers to the inability to detect the direction of a relationship in a correlation.
Bidirectional ambiguity
This part of the brain helps us transfer information from our short term memory to our long term memory.
Hippocampus
This method regularly uses triangulation to increase credibility.
Case study
This case study examined localization of the hippocampus with the formation of new memories.
HM (Milner)
This model of thinking and decision making comprises of S1 and S2
Dual Processing Model
Forgetting information (amnesia) prior to an accident/surgery.
Retrograde amnesia
This method uses statistical analysis is conducted in order to determine the correlation coefficient.
Correlational study
This study examined the role of the vmPFC and decision making, specifically related to System 2 processing.
Bechara
This part of the brain is our emotional center and regulates fear and other emotions.
Amygdala
Memories for how to do something like ride a bike, tie shoes, drive a car.
Procedural memories
This method relies on group processes and the interaction of the individuals within the group to help reveal information that might not be shared in individual interviews.
This part of the hippocampus is related to previously learned spatial information.
Posterior hippocampus
This technique used is used to measure brain activity.
fMRI or PET
Memories of facts/general knowledge
Declarative or semantic
This method may be covert or overt, participant or non-participant and are sometimes followed by interviews with subjects.
Naturalistic observation
This study examined S1 and S2 by using words that had ink that both matched the spelling of the word colour and ink that did not.
Stroop
This is the term that implies that certain brain structures are related to certain functions/behaviours.
Localization of function
Using multiple methods to increase reliability and credibility of a study.
Triangulation
