10,000 steps: A research methods example sue_frantz Expert 06-10-2019 09:53 AM After covering experiments and correlations in Intro Psych or as a research methods booster in the Stress & Health chapter, ask your students if they have heard that you should walk 10,000 steps a day...
Research on the psychology of learning has highlighted straightforward ways of enhancing learning. However, effective learning strategies are underused by learners. In this Review, we discuss key research findings on two specific learning strategies: spacing and retrieval practice. We focus on how these...
For example, when President Trump had COVID, the White House press secretary had a strong incentive not to be aware of any evidence that Trump’s health was worse than expected, in order to reassure voters without being clearly dishonest. Whereas the White House doctor had some reason to err...
Context-dependent memory refers to improved recall when the context during encoding is the same as the context during retrieval. For example, when an event is stored in one's memory, contextual information surrounding the event is stored too. Therefore, returning to or recreating that context can...
[6]. However, episodic memories can be formed with lesser detail through perceptual features alone. As per this model of memory systems, the encoding in the higher representation system depends on the quality of encoding in lower systems. For example, semanticization shows that episodic memories ...
For example, someone who exhibits a high level of the saying-is-believing effect might have a positive change in multiple behaviors (e.g., attending more networking events, getting more involved in research, etc.) from conveying the importance of connecting with people in the field of ...
Sometimes a person who is coming across as angry and abusive may be highly anxious about for example a terminally ill partner. A doctor can say, “You seem to me to be very angry about this. Tell me more about this.” It is important to listen to what the patient says, because if ...
for example,\(w_1=0.5> \frac{1}{3}\). Since the weights must sum to 1, the sum of the other two weights will be\(w_2+w_3=0.5\), and could be distributed as\(w_2=0.3\)and\(w_3=0.2\). In contrast, a pessimist could, for example, assign weights in the opposite way as...
The only exception is if the use of AI or AI-assisted tools is part of the research design or methods (for example, in the field of biomedical imaging). If this is the case, such use must be described in a reproducible manner in the methods section, including the name of the model ...
For example, I’m not a big meat eater. I happened to read the book Skinny Bitch a few years ago which is a pro-vegan book. I am not kidding you, within 10 pages of learning that I should cut out animal products of all kinds I had the biggest craving for BBQ ribs. Before that...
