| A | B |
|---|
| Often involves laboratory research with high levels of control... | LOFTUS & PLAMER: easy to replicate, control extraneous variables, cause & effect |
| leads to greater understanding of cognitive problems... | BARON-COHEN: changed how we understand autism, new teaching methods |
| Cross Cultural research shows us which abilities are innate & which are learned... | DEREGOWSKI: perception is innate and dependent on your environment |
| Research into the cognitive abilities of animals has enhanced our understanding of other species... | GARDENER: not only humans can use language, but has shown the limitations of learning in language and the possibility of LAD in humans |
| Laboratory studies have low ecological validity... | Car clips in Loftus & Palmer and the use of dolls in baron cohen |
| It is impossible to study processes such as memory directly... | You cant see them! open to demand characteristics |
| Cognitive research tends to favour quantative measures over qualitative ones... | lots of numerical data is produced but no detail. Baron-cohen could have asked the autistic people to explain their answers |
| The cognitve approach includes... | abilities such as memory, language, perception, cognitve problems, thought processes |
