Hey, I know this is from holah, but isn't there 3 not 2 ways of learning behaviour? - - ->> learning through imitation, rewards/punishment and association.

yeah, that is what the textbook says actually haha (scuse the last minute revision!) thanks for pointing that out xD but yeah, holah is also a lifesaver <3

[mkhan9035]

I hope piliavin, loftus and palmer, freud, bandura or milgram comes on section B cause they're the only ones i know really well and for section C either developmental, social, behaviourist or psychodynamic approach comes up! Right now i'm trying to predict whats gonna come up on section b and c cause i can't revise anymore! My brain is hurting -.-

[stoppy123]

Anyone else love derment and kleitman? Best study ever ;D

Strengths and weaknesses of the approaches.

Developmental

Strengths:

• Shows the difference between children and adults
• Uses a variety of research methods.
• Usefulness (can stop media showing violent behaviour to children)
• Can provide explanations
• Can suggest how events in early life may impact an adult later on.

Weaknesses:

• Focuses on old studies (Freud 1909)
• Doesn't show any other development than children.
• Problems of study children, ethics etc.
• It over-generalises.

Social

Strengths:

• We are normally around people
• Uses observation as it's research method - High in ecological validity.
• Provide explanations (holocaust - Milgrim)
• Usefulness (shows group identity - R+H)

Weaknesses:

• Uses observation so low in ecological validity.
• Lack of generalisation as different countries/cultures may behave differently.
• Tends to ignore biology (people may have enjoyed giving the electric shock)
• Tends to be only snapshot studies which only provide a glimpse of our behaviour.

Cognitive

Strengths:

• Uses Experiements - high amounts of control.
• Useful practical applications e.g the police and critical questions.
• Provides explanations (language acquisation)
• Increases the understanding of other species, e.g chimps in savage rumbaugh.

Weaknesses:

• Is very cold, doesn't believe in freewill of humans.
• It's RM has high demand characteristics.
• It is reductionist, reducing down behaviour to one factor.
• It is over simplistic and reduces the complex human mind down to a computer.

Individual differences.

Strengths:

• Looks at individuals, the people who other approaches reject.
• Is useful as it shows problems e.g mental illness diagnosis.
• Can provide help for individuals.

Weaknesses:

• Very subjective.
• Small samples usually, so lack of generalisation.
• The subjects are usually very rare, so tests may work on one case but not another.

Physiological

Strengths:

• RM - Lab, very controlled.
• Objective evidence as it is scientific.
• Usefulness - can help us understand normal brain function (sperry)
• Evidence - Much evidence for other research comes from biological.

Weaknesses:

• RM - Lab very low in EV
• Small samples lack of generalisation.
• Reductionist. as it reduces down our behaviour to simple biological processes.
• Expensive equipment, e.g maguire MRI scan.

Behaviourist

Strengths:

• RM - Lab exp high in control.
• Useful - can show aggression is influenced by the environment
• Can predict and promote behaviour (eg kanzi, giving sweets for language)

Weaknesses:

• RM - Low in EV
• Only supports nurture (eg. bandura)
• Difficult to observe. Eg 'thinking aloud' very bad way of measuring as it can be censored.

Very dense notes of the negatives and positives of the approaches if anyone needs them

your too good! - - -- >>

Yes

Sweet! I thought it was in the morning until yesterday evening xD. Extra cram time!

Sorry for the long reply, The question 2 wants you to say like....

Kanzi's symbol use was classified in two ways, Kanzi's symbol use must be appropriate for the task in hand, e.g if he was hungry, he would point to a bananan.

Kanzi's symbol use must also be spontaenous 9/10 times with no assistance from the researchers.

And In question 8

The visual stimuli were presented on monitor in which the participants were asked to stare directly at a dot in the middle of the screen, one image on either the right or left of the screen were presented for 0.5 seconds, an adequate time for only one vision field (either left or right) to see it.

thanks

Does anyone have notes on all the core studies?

I do as well I also like maguire but I hate griffiths, reicher and haslam and savage rumbaugh, I just cant think of anything about them

do you think cognitive/biological will come up ? as it came up in jan2012 i dont think they repeat the same approaches :s

[Flora-San]

Glad to see others are hurriedly revising too XD

Does anyone have information on the previous research of studies (like the squirrel study with Maguire)? They can ask us about that in Section B...

No they won't repeat the same approaches, approaches are always different every time
