The power of authority over our behaviour and showed that potential in ordinary people for behaviour comparable to that of the nazis during the holocoust
The power of the situation influenced people behaviour guards, prisoners and researcher all conformed to their roles with the prison
Participants conform because they want to fit in or be right
When in an ambigious situation a person will look to others for guidence
7. What is the conclusion of Loftus (1979) study?
The leading information of the verb in the speed question affects the way in which an event represented in memory
Demonstrates the weapon focus phenomenon- particiaonts focused on the weapon and were less likely to recall the person accurately
Eyewitness testimonies are not inaccurate in their accurate in their accounts- less influenced by leading questions than lab research would suggest
8. When an individual defers to the AF this is the...
Agentic State
Agentic Shift
Autonomous State
Moral State
9. Who found that the capacity of STM could be increased?
Sperling
Miller
Baddedly
Atkison +Shiffrin
10. Which of the following is not a type of conformity
Modeling
Internalisation
Identification
Compliance
11. Which of the following is a weakness of the Working Memory Model
Places too much emphasis on maintenance rehearsal
Lacks ecological validity- devired from laboratory studies with a high level of experimental control.
Over simplistic of the concept that the LTM is a unitary store- made up of different types of memory including episodic and semantic (Tulving)
Over simplistic view of the STM as a passive and unitary store
12. What are the types of LTM memory?
Phonological, Episodic & Semantic
Procedural, Episodic & Semantic
Episodic & Semantic
Visual, Episodic & Semantic
13. Which are the 4 main techniques of Cognitive interviews?
Report everything, Reinstate the context at the time of the event, Change the order in which the event is recalled, Change perspective
Change persective, Change time of the events, Report everything, Change the order at the time of the event
Report only main events, Change perspective, Change the order in which the event is recalled, Reinstate where the event took place
Report everything in a different order, Recall other witness' present, Reinstate the context at the time of the event, Change perspective
14. What are the variables from Milgram's variation study
Location, Proximity to the AF, Proximity to the victim
Uniform, location, Proximity to the victim, Proximity to the AF
Uniform, Legitimacy of Af, Location, Proximity to the victim
Unanimity, Location, Uniform, Proximity to the victim
15. Which of the following did not study the effect of anxiety on eyewitness testimony?
Yuille & Cutshall
Loftus & Palmer
Loftus
16. Normative Influence is supported by...
Asch
Milgram
Sherif
Zimbardo
17. Which of the following is a weakness of the role of social influence in social change
Social changes happen slowly when they happen at all- the effects of minority influence are more likely to be mostly indirect and delayed
It cannot explain individual differences in conformity, which means that it is not a fully comprehensive explanation
Social support is an alternative explanation that may better explain resistance to social influence
18. What is the role of the Central Executive?
Problem solving, Decision making, Control over 3 slave systems
Back up store which communicates between the LTM and the WMM
Information processor
Transfer information from the STM to LTM for permanent storage
19. In Asch's variation study which variable decreased conformity of the paricipants
Task Difficulty
Unanimity
Group Size
Uniform
20. Which of the following is not a strength for the Working Memory Model
Supported by Baddely & Hitch-STM must have more than one component be included in the process other than simple storage
Supported by Glanzer + Cunitz- words at the start of the list were recalled more supporting the idea of there being separate stores
Can explain why in amnesiac patients some STM functions are damaged whilst others not- e.g. KF
Can account for real life activities such as reading and arithmetic
