  1. Professor Proust Cognition free response question

  2. Part A • Point one: • Population: What is it and how would you define it or highlight it? • This one should be easy, just state it. The population is______________ • ALL college students

  3. Part A • Point 2 • Random Sample • How and why should he use it? • Show you understand what a random sample is • The definition or an example, specific and simple • “choosing every tenth student from an alphabetized list of college students”

  4. Part A • Point 3 • Random Assignment • Which ones are correctly the experimental or a control group, describe it. • Exp….which will read children’s books • Control…..which will not read the book • State the principle directly, or plausible example. • “Listing all participants alphabetically and assigning every other participant to the experimental group”

  5. Part B • Point 1….label it, “Question 1, part B” • Semantic encoding • How does semantic encoding predict that the memories reported on the survey will most likely not be personally meaningful events • “Students will recall these kinds of memories because they were semantically encoded, and semantic encoding increases the likelihood of retrieving memories”

  6. Part B • Point 2 • Recall • Identify it. Memories that the students write out on the survey are products of recall. • Why?…because these memories are not currently in conscious awareness. • “participants recall these memories without cues, in contrast to recognizing them from a list of common memories”

  7. Part B • Point 3 • Recognition • Identify it, common memories that students circle on the survey are retrieved through the process of recognition • Retrieval process involves participants identifying the events on the survey that match their memories

  8. Part B • Point 4 • Retroactive Interference • Discuss R.I. could prevent participants from retrieving some childhood memories • Define it or example of it- “More recently encoded events interfere with the retrieval of older memories” • Example of R.I. • “Not being able to remember your kindergarten teacher’s name because your more recent memory of your fifth-grade teacher’s name interferes with you recall.”

  9. Part C • Part 1 • Misinformation effect -In this case….Proust? How did he ask about childhood memories? • Participants first read the list of common memories and exposure to these “leading questions” • This could cause what? Construct false memories of the events that actually happened to them.
