7 Ethical Considerations
Definition: Intended to be kept secret
Confidentiality
What type of memory is the memory that enables people to recall and describe their prior experiences.
(HINT: a type of Explicit Memory)
Episodic Memory
Recall MatPat's dream theory. Who was the man whose frontal lobe was studied after a mental pole was lodged through it, causing him to experience changes in personality.
Phineas Gage
TRUE OR FALSE:
Rods detect the bright and colourful details and Cones are responsible for the black and white vision in low lights.
FALSE
Rods are responsible for the black and white vision in low lights and Cones detect the bright and colourful details
7 ethical considerations continued: the act/right to leave an experiment at any given moment
Withdrawal Rights
Definition: The act of doing something without putting anyone in harms way, mentally or physically.
No cause of harm
The type of learning process that occurs when two stimuli are repeatedly paired: a response which is at first elicited by the second stimulus is eventually evoked by the first stimulus alone
(HINT: Implicit Memory)
Classical Conditioning
The experiment preformed to understand how legitimate power influences people to preform horrible acts after the recent events of Hitlers reign.
The Milgrim Experiment (1961)
Name three processes that involve the eye.
(HINT: one is responsible for collecting stimulus energy)
Any of these:
1.reception - stimulus
2.transduction - converting
3.transmission - receptor
4.selection - selection
5.organisation - organised
6.interpretation - interprets
7 Ethical Considerations: all experiments under goers must join on their own accord and give themselves up for the experiment
Voluntary Participation
Definition: Discussing the intent of the experiment before or after hand.
Debriefing
The knowledge/memory of learning how to ride a bike or play piano. A learnt skill.
(HINT: Implicit Memory)
Procedural Memory or Motor Memory
Another test on legitimate power, testing how random people made guards treat random people made prisoners. A very problematic experiment due to its lack of ethical considerations.
Stanford Prison Experiment (1971)
What Gestalt Principle is the individual parts of a pattern are close together, allowing those parts to be perceived visually as a whole.
The Gestalt Principle of Proximity
Remember the experiment with Mrs Shannon's dog? Recall what the conditioning used on him was.
Positive (giving) reinforcement and Negative (taking away) reinforcement.
Operant Conditioning
Definition: The act of intentionally misleading a participant in order for the experiment to work/playout
Deception
Memories for facts and general knowledge.
(HINT: Explicit Memory)
Semantic Memory
What was the experiment that demonstrated context-dependent memory by having divers learn and recall word lists in two different environments: on land and underwater. The results showed that participants recalled significantly more words when the learning and recall environments matched (either both on land or both underwater) compared to when they were different.
The Godden and Baddeley Experiment (1975)
What Gestalt Principle is the principle that elements that are similar in appearance will tend to be seen as a unit.
The Gestalt Principle of Similarity
What does ABC stand for
a)Autonomy, Bonding and Competence
b) Antecedents, Behaviours and Consequences
c)Attentive, Beliefs and Considerations
b)
Antecedents (stimuli), Behaviours (reactions) and Consequences (results)
Definition: a process of providing potential clients with comprehensive information about services or research so they can make a voluntary and informed decision about participating.
Informed Consent
What is the difference between Explicit Memory and Implicit Memory?
Explicit Memory is the conscious and intentional recall of either facts or past events whereas Implicit Memory is memory that doesn't require effort to recall how to do skills and emotional/mental reactions to certain stimuli.
A study that revealed that London taxi drivers brains are more expanded then the average human brain due to the memorisation of London streets
Maguire et al. (2000)
What is the Gestalt Principle that an object is perceived as being whole despite it actually being incomplete.
The Gestalt Principle of Closure
What is the Gestalt Principle where the lines are seen as the following the smoothest path.
The Gestalt Principle of Continuity
