In Canli et al's study, what was the purpose of using the fMRI?
To determine how much amygdala activity occurred while participants were viewing the images
To determine how much serotonin was released while participants went through the images
To see how the brain stores memories
To determine how intensely the participants rated the images
The intensity of the emotional arousal caused by the images were the...
Dependent variable
Independent variable
Control
Extraneous variable
In the Canli et al study, the results showed that amygdala activation was significantly correlated with (a) ratings of emotional intensity.
How did the researchers for the Canli et al determine how many of the images the participants remembered?
Scans of the participants brains were taken during the fMRI portion of the study.
Participants recorded a response in the fMRI using a device with their right hand
Participants were given a quiz as soon as they were taken out of the fMRI
Participants were given an unexpected recognition test 3 weeks after the first stage of the study.
Because Canli et al was a laboratory experiment, its strengths were that...
It was a standardized environment
The research had internal validity
The chances of having extraneous variables were low
All are correct
In the Dement and Kleitman study, the content of dreams was closely related to...
Stage of sleep participants were in
Duration of sleep
Eye movement while sleeping
Time of day
The sample for Dement and Kleitman's study consisted of...
7 male and 2 female adults
5 male and 5 female adults
16 male and 10 female adults
12 male adults
How did the researchers for Dement and Kleitman determine what stage of sleep participants were in when they woke them up?
Through the use of an electroencephalograph (EEG)
By asking the participants when they woke up
Participants recorded their answer into a microphone next to their bed
Through an fMRI machine
Participants were not told what stage of sleep they were awakened in order to...
Reduce order effects
Reduce demand characteristics
Increase internal validity
Increase generalizability
Participants in Dement and Kleitman's study were more likely to recall dreams when awakened during (a) sleep.
The two-factor theory of emotion consists of what two components creating an emotional experience?
Cognitive interpretation and physiological interpretation
Critical analysis and emotional interpretation
Physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation
Emotional arousal and social distancing
What was the purpose of the stooge in Schachter and Singer's study?
To monitor the participant after the epinephrine injection
To inject the participant with epinephrine
To calm the participant down after the epinephrine injection
To stimulate the participant into a sense of euphoria or anger
In what way were participants in Schachter and Singer's study deceived?
Participants were told the study was on the effects of suproxin on vision
Participants were told they were being injected with suproxin, but were injected with epinephrine instead
Participants were unaware of what the stooge would do during the observation
All are correct
What were the four experimental conditions that participants in Schachter and Singer's study were divided into?
Informed, Control, Suproxin, Epiniphrine
Informed, misinformed, ignorant, placebo
Informed, uninformed, stooge, placebo
Uninformed, misinformed, epinephrine, placebo
In the Schachter and Singer study, the misinformed and ignorant euphoria condition as well as the ignorant and placebo angry conditions, these groups were more susceptible to the stooge because...
They could not explain why they felt the way they did
They knew that the stooge was trying to make them feel a certain way
They knew the drug was working
They were affected by the questionnaire
Evaluate Dement and Kleitman in terms of two strengths and weaknesses.
What are the ethical considerations and concerns of Schachter and Singer.
Explain two differences between the Schachter and Singer study and the Canli et al. study.
