Bartlett’s work is a seminal study in the field of memory, where he used the concept of “schema” to describe an organized pattern of thought or behavior. He conducted a series of experiments using folk tales to show that memory recall is influenced by cultural schemas and personal experien...
Beginning in the 1930s, behaviourism flourished in the United States, withB.F. Skinnerleading the way in demonstrating the power ofoperant conditioningthrough reinforcement. Behaviourists in university settings conducted experiments on the conditions controlling learning and “shaping” behaviour through rei...
Experiment One type of research method in which the investigator manipulates one or more independent variables (IV) to determine the effect(s) on some behavior (the dependent variable) while controlling other relevant factors. There are two types of experiments, the true experiment and the quasi ...

Scene gist, a viewer's holistic representation of a scene from a single eye fixation, has been extensively studied for terrestrial views, but not for aerial views. We compared rapid scene categorization of both views in three experiments... LC Loschky,RV Ringer,E Katrina,... - 《Journal ...
The exponents from different individuals presented a gaussian distribution centered at a scaling exponent equivalent to 1/4 for both types of experiments. While this proves the existence of 1/4 scaling in dynamics, it also shows that processes do not proceed equally efficient in various individuals...
Experiments show that infants smile most during face-to-face contingent interactions with carers. These are interactions characterized by turn-taking, infant-directed speech and playful warmth (‘interpersonal contingency’). At birth infants prefer the mother’s voice and the mother’s smell, as the...
Motivation, forces acting either on or within a person to initiate behaviour. The word is derived from the Latin term motivus (“a moving cause”), which suggests the activating properties of the processes involved in psychological motivation. Psychologi
In two experiments we examined whether the appearance of a new object has attentional priority over disappearance. Previous failures to show differences are possibly due to onsets and offsets always being presented as a sole visual transient. Rather than presenting each alone, we presented onset and...
Independent variables also have different levels. In some experiments, there may only be one level of an IV. In other cases, multiple levels of the IV may be used to look at the range of effects that the variable may have. In an experiment on the effects of the type of diet on weight...
