AICE PSYCHOLOGY CORRECT EXAMS QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS SET A+
✔✔Dement and Kleitman Sample - ✔✔Lab experiment at University of Chicago,
repeated measure
-7M & 2F (5 intensely investigated for 6-17 nights & 4 to
confirm findings for 1-2 nights)
-2-3 electrodes hooked next to Ps eyes & scalp to
measure eye movement & brain activity
-Ps instructed to avoid alcohol & caffeine (used as control),
but were told to eat normally
-Ps reported to lab just before regular
bedtime, slept in quiet & dark room
✔✔Dement and Kleitman Results - ✔✔A1: to see if the physiological aspects of REM
sleep related to the subjects' experiences of dreaming
A2: wanted to observe and record the length, frequency, and patterns of Ps REM sleep
1: significant association b/w REM sleep and dreaming
2: significant positive correlation
b/w the estimate of time spent dreaming
and the measurement of REM sleep
3: relationship b/w the pattern of eye
movement and reported content of the dream
✔✔Andrade Sample - ✔✔Opportunity from a previous experiment, 40 people from
medical research unit. 20 control (2 males), 20 experimental (doodlers/3 males), 1
replaced for not doodling.
✔✔Andrade Results - ✔✔Aim: To test whether doodling aided concentration in a boring
task
Doodle memory=7.5 recall of names and places
, Control memory 5.8 recall of names and places
Done by adding memory scores for both
Overall 29% more for doodlers
Memory for both monitored and recall (Doodling Wins)
These were calculated by the # of correct names/places minus false alarms.
✔✔Baron-Cohen Sample - ✔✔G1(Self Select): (AS/HFA) Experimental Group, 15 adult
males with AS/HFA from UK National Autistic Society Magazine ad
G2(Opportunity): Control, 122 adults from adult classes from Exeter and library at
Cambridge
G3(Opportunity): Control, 103 undergrad students from Cambridge, higher IQ
G4(Opportunity): 14 randomly selected adults who were IQ matched with G1
✔✔Baron-Cohen Results - ✔✔1: AS/HFA will score worse on R-ET; The AS/HFA group
performed significantly worse than the other groups on the R-ET.
2: AS/HFA would score higher on the AQ test; On the AQ test, the AS/HFA group
scored significantly higher than the control groups.
3: Females in the control groups(G2 and G3) would score higher than males on the R-
ET; Females scored higher on the R-ET
4: Males in the student group(G3) would score higher than females on the AQ test;
Males scored higher on the AQ test
5: Scores on the AQ and the R-ET would be negatively correlated; There was a
signifcant negative correlation.
✔✔Lainey Sample - ✔✔Volunteer/self select from University.
1: 128 undergrads from UC Irvine, 99 females and 29 males, mean age of 20.8
2: 103 undergrads from University of Washington, 64 females and 39 males, mean age
of 19.9
✔✔Lainey Results - ✔✔A1: To investigate whether positive false memories of loving
asparagus can be implanted into people and then change their childhood memories of
liking asparagus.
R1: RQ-Believers reported more desire to eat asparagus than control.
R2: FPQ-Believers reported liking asparagus significantly more than the control.
R3:FCQ-Believers were willing to pay significantly more for asparagus than control.
✔✔Lab Experiment Define/Studies - ✔✔Takes place in a situation or environment that
is artificial to the P's in the study
Studies: Milgram
Yamamoto
Bandura
Pepperberg
Canli
Schachter
Andrade
Laney
