Q

Maguire et al. (2000) - Finidngs

A

appears that hippocampi is involved in spatial information, and anterior may be involved in encoding. Additionally this may further change depending on time/frequency .

2x generations with MDD increases chance of 3rd gen. and if Grandparent MDD increased chances for grandchild
30
Weisman et al (2005) - Finidngs

investigate the role of MDD in genetics
33

particpants were interviewed + medically assesed (over phone) - in regards to MZ and DZ and symptoms of MDD)
34
Kendler et al (2006) - Results
increased concordance rate rate in mz + higher concordance rate in female twins
35
Kendler et al (2006) - Finidngs
suggests a link between MDD and genetics in twins (especially women)
36
What is Caspi et al (2003) used for
gene on behaviour
37
Caspi et al (2003) - Aim
investiageeffect of 5HTT allele on MDD symptoms?????

.
39
Caspi et al (2003) - Reuslts
.
40
Caspi et al (2003) - Findings
inherited genes does not equal MDD. Gene environment interaction 'does'
41
What is Peterson and Peterson (1959) used for
MSMM (multistore memory model)
42
Peterson and Peterson (1959) - Aim
investigate duration of items stored in STM without rehersal
43
Peterson and Peterson (1959) - Procedure
Participants had to memorize three consonant syllabels , and then count backwards from a specified number until a light appeared. The participants then had to recall the syllabels. This was repeated for different durations
44
Peterson and Peterson (1959) - Results
increase duration decrease recall and decrease duration increase recall
45
Peterson and Peterson (1959) - Findings
Supports MSMM as it implies STM duration differ from LTM
46
What is Warrington and Shallice (1970) used for
Working memory model (WMM), ethics, method
47
Warrington and Shallice (1970) - Aim
investigate the effect of patient KF's brain damage on STM
48
Warrington and Shallice (1970) - Procedure
interviews over time + time-based memory tasks presented either Visually or verbally
49
Warrington and Shallice (1970) - Results
audiotory recall decreased and visual recall increased
50
Warrington and Shallice (1970) - Findings
Supports wild as it indicate STM complexity
51
What is Bartlet (1932) used for
schema theory
52
Bartlet (1932) - Aim
Investigate the impact of pre-existing schemes on recall of a story
53
Bartlet (1932)- Procedure
Participants were tasked to read a story from a culture different to their own. They were allocated to either a condition were they had to re-tell the story, or where they had to reproduce it.
54
Bartlet (1932) - Results
???
55
Bartlet (1932) - Findings
unfamiliar elements were changed to match own (culture) - assimilation
56
What is Tversky and Kahnman (1974) used for
Dual Procedual model (DPM) (system 1 & 2), bias in thinking
57
Tversky and Kahnman (1974) - Aim
investigate the impact of anchoring bias on mathematical problem solving
58
Tversky and Kahnman (1974) - Procedure
Participants were allocated to either a "descending" or "ascending order . The participants were respectively tasked to estimate the value of 8! or reversed ascending) .
59
Tversky and Kahnman (1974) - Results
both groups were far off, where ascending way to low and descending was way to high
60
Tversky and Kahnman (1974) - Findings
The initial number appears to have biased final estimate. Limited time meant estimation was off first values , so high start number = high estimate (and viceverse)
61
What is Loftus and Palmer (1974) used for
reconstructive memory, ethics, method
62
Loftus and Palmer (1974) - Aim
investigate the impact of leading questions on recall estimations
63
Loftus and Palmer (1974) - Procedure
Participants were tasked to watch clips of can accidents , and after each clip, fill out a questionnaire. The questionnaire asked for a speed estimation, but each critical question used different words (smash/contact)
64
Loftus and Palmer (1974) - Results
Smashed- higher estimate of speed and Contact - lower estimate of speed
65
Loftus and Palmer (1974) - Findings
memory of accident could be altered by using suggestive questions
66

71
What is Tajfel et al (1971) used for
Social identity theory/group and individual
72
Tajfel et al (1971) - Aim
investigate if in-group favouritism would occur solely by grouping
73
Tajfel et al (1971) - Procedure
participants were tasked allocate points to paintings by two different artists. Where each artist was the condition/group. There were two point allocation systems , one where points were linked , so the sun remained equal - if one gets higher, the other gets lower. The other was manipulated such that high points to own group, further increased the other group , while less would also give less
74
Tajfel et al (1971) - Results
system 1 , increase own group, where, system 2, decrease own group because it would increase gap between other group
75
Tajfel et al (1971) - Findings
supports social identity theory (SIT) as it indicates group distinction + favouritism
76
What is Bandure (1961) used for
