Using your knowledge of obedience research, explain possible reasons why the students failed to obey their teacher. 3. Discuss research into minority influence. 4. Two groups of participants took part in a memory experiment. The researcher read 20 words to the participants. Participants in Group A had to write down the words immediately after they had heard them. • Participants in Group B had to write down the words after they had read a book for one minute. The researcher noticed that: • participants in Group A generally recalled words from the beginning and the end of the list • participants in Group B generally recalled words from the beginning of the list only.
