Storage
Retrievable data on any electric system.
4 of 23
Encoding
The process of placing an experience into a form that can be used and stored in the memory system.

Engram
Memory trace that causes a physical change to the neural architecture to the txain.

IV
Independent Variable. The experimenter can changed/manipulate. Has a direct effect on the DV.
7 of 23
DV
Dependent Variable. The experimenter measures this after changing the IV.
8 of 23
Participant Variables
personality, age, intelligence
9 of 23
Experimenter Variables
body language, tone of voice, bias
10 of 23
Situational Variables
time of day, heat, demand characteristics, order effects
11 of 23
Labratory experiments
Carried out under controlled conditions to prove/demonstrate a known truth/result. High internal validity but low external validity. Because of high controls the causality is usually clear. Artifical tasks = lacks mundane realism.
12 of 23
Field experiments
A scientific method to examine intervention in the real world. Low inerntal validity but hight external validity. Because of low controls the causality is usually unclear. Realistic tasks and settings = high mundane realism.

Natural experiment
An observational study in which the assignments of treatment to subjects have been lacking any organisation.
17 of 23
Directional Hypothesis
A prediction of the study findings that indicates the direction of the results.
18 of 23
Non-directional Hypothesis
The hypothesis predicts a difference or relationship but does not give the direction of the difference or relationship.
19 of 23
Repeated Measures
Measurements are taken twice or more in the same experiment and the same participants are used for each condition.
20 of 23
Matched Pairs
Different participants for each part of a study but matching those participants on important variables such as age and gender
21 of 23
Independent Groups
Using separate groups of participants - one in each condition.
22 of 23
Demand Characteristics
Occue when PPs guess or can work out what the experiment is about
