I don't think so, they can't ask you to 'describe loftus and Palmer' for example with regards to a laboratory experiment

Posted from TSR Mobile

but cant they ask us e.g. to describe the procedure of a laboratory study we have studied

I'm trying to remember the name of the study where false memories were implanted into a woman about her father and it was later discovered they were false.

Can anyone enlighten me?

Does anyone have any predictions especially for issues and debates as im just finding it such a heavy topic. I feel like for clinical the practical may come up which is good as it is the easiest to talk about compared to all the others.

Thank you :smile:

Schiz:

Dopamine Hyp vsSBH Similarities Differences Both reductionist - ignore each other Biological (DH) vs. Social/Environmental (SBH) Lots of evidence for both theories is correlational - more so in SBH - C&E can't be established DH has much more scientific evidence supporting it - e.g. Davies et al Both theories take blame away from patient - put into hands of genes/env as responsible SBH = less deterministic - suggest something can be done about it - DH says nothing can be done Both argue you'd get increased vulnerability across fams; Ä DH = genes passed on Ä SBH = same social class as fam DT vs ACT Drug therapy vs.ACT Similarities Differences Both arguably individualised for each person DT = cheaper Professionals needed in both Ä DT = doctor to prescribe / pro to inject in some cases ACT = more personalised care Drugs = a part of both DT treats clinical symptoms, ACT doesn't Ethical arguments against both DT works in any env, ACT requires densely populated area DT = side-effects / ACT = none ACT = lifelong / DT = can come off it Less likely to relapse w/ ACT Biological (DT) vs. Social (ACT) treatments Different levels of DT - TYP & ATYP ACT takes more responsibilities off families

I&D is so much more than just the 4 debates.....

4 debates - ethnocentrism, nature vs. nurture, social control, psych as a science

then you have...
research methods
animal studies - studies using studies
ethical guidelines
evaluating an unseen study
design an experiment
contributions (which there is so much to learn for)
can be asked on key issues from cognitive, social, biological, criminological, child, learning or psychodynamic
