Impressions of sensory information

/in /by

Sensory memory: Allows retaining impressions of sensory information after the original stimulus its been done. sensory memory provides a detailed representation of our entire sensory experience for which relevant pieces of information are extracted by short-term memory. an example of this is fast-moving lights in the darkness of the night.

short term memory: Also called working memory holds just a few items and only last about seconds for example when someone gives you a phone number in order for you to pass this to the long-term memory you will have to repeat it to yourself a few times.

Long-Term Memory: We usually hold this memory for longer, some can last from the time they are created until we die.an example of this is episodic memory that is related to a personal experience ex: when i went to Spain i visited the City of Arts Museum.

The term Paraphilias refers to patterns of ‘abnormal’
sexual behaviour. People with paraphilic disorders often
have uncontrollable sexual fantasies and desires.

Your lecture notes indicate that Cognitive-Behavioral
the theory argues that abnormal sexual fantasies and
behaviour are learned from a person’s environment –
such as a person’s culture, family and friends.

Also, people do NOT always have control over their own
environment.

If this is true, then a person who has an
ABNORMAL sexual disorder REALLY personally
responsible for their abnormal sexual behaviours?

Should
people with Paraphilias be PUNISHED for their abnormal
sexual behavior?

kids were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups and watched their
videos in separate classrooms. Two days later, the food choice test was conducted.
Results: control = 2.0, experimental = 3.5.
Kids were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups and watched their videos in separate classrooms. Because of staffing issues, the interactive video was delivered by the same researcher who coded all the children’s food choices at lunch. Two days later, the food choice test was conducted.

How could you reduce participant bias in research? Can it be accounted for to better understand the influence of expectations?

What are ways to reduce participant bias?
Utilizing blind studies and lowering demand characteristics are two ways to prevent participant bias. Participants could change their behavior because they are aware that they are a part of a study, which can result in a lack of validity.
Why is it important to reduce bias in research?
Bias causes false conclusions and is potentially misleading. Therefore, it is immoral and unethical to conduct biased research. Every scientist should thus be aware of all potential sources of bias and undertake all possible actions to reduce or minimize the deviation from the truth.
