Cognitive Approach Studies Review

The sample utilized in Andrade (doodling) consisted of…

• 60 participants

• 20 participants

• 80 participants

• 40 participants

Andrade (doodling) used what research method?

• Lab experiment

• Repeated measures design

• Field experiment

• Natural experiment

One ethical weakness in Andrade (doodling) was…

• Deception

• Independent measures design

• Debriefing

• Confidentiality

Overall, participants who doodled in Andrade…

• Performed similarly on both monitored and incidental tasks.

• Performed worse on both monitored and incidental tasks.

• Were unable to complete monitored tasks.

• Performed better on both monitored and incidental tasks.

In Andrade (doodling), half of participants were asked to recall the names of people attending and THEN places. The other half were asked to recall the names of places and THEN people attending. What is this called (think ABBA).

• Repetition

• Alternative measures

• Counterbalancing

• Ecological validity

The Andrade (doodling) study contains both quantitative and qualitative data.

• True

• False

In Andrade (doodling), participants were placed in a room that was…

• Exciting and bright.

• Dull and quiet.

• Participants were not tested.

• Participants were tested in two separate rooms.

The two assumptions made in cognitive psychology are (select only two):

• a. Information is processed via the same route for all humans (input-process-output).

• f. Similarities and differences between humans can be explained by individual patterns of cognition.

• c. Humans are born as blank slates.

• d. Similarities and differences between people can be explained by social influences.

• b. Similarities and differences between people can be explained by biological factors.

All of the following are aims of Baron-Cohen (eyes-test) except for:

• To test a group of adults with AS/HFA on the revised version of the Eyes Test (R-ET) to see if the results would be replicated.

• To determine the difference in IQ between adults with/without HFA.

• To test if there is a gender difference on the R-ET (revised Eyes Test).

• To test if there is a negative correlation in a sample of normal adults between the R-ET and the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ).

Which group was the IQ-matched control in Baron-Cohen (eyes test)?

• Group 1

• Group 2

• Group 3

• Group 4
