  • 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
