  1. 9.00 Introduction to Psychology Talia Konkle 15 Feb 07

  2. E J 6 7 If a card has a vowel on one side, then it has an even number on the other side.

  3. E J 6 7 If a card has a vowel on one side, then it has an even number on the other side. Correct answer - E & 7 (10%)Common answers - E, E & 6

  4. Confirmation bias We look for evidence that confirms what we believe, and overlook evidence that could disconfirm what we believe. E - see an even number - confirm 6 - not even needed, but feels like it confirms 7 - would disconfirm - if there is a vowel on the other side

  5. 24 18 A different, but related example… If you have a beer, you must be 21 or older.

  6. E J 6 7 This is EXACTLY the same as the previous example! 24 18 If you have a beer (vowel) ---> you must be over 21 (even#) P --> Q Check all p’s (all beers, all even numbers) Not Q --> notP Check all NOT Q’s (underage, all odd numbers) We’re Good At Finding Cheaters

  7. WHY??!!! Pop Quiz • get cogs turning • attendence record • good exam practice • real learning value • no tricks…

  8. Logistics The Plan for today (and other days): Review: Blitzkreig style Discussion: Ethics and Experimentation Timekeeper?

  9. WHY????!!! Review Rules: • Rapid fire Questions • Raise your hands if you know it • (or everyone can say it at once) • You may get called on, you can’t hide • so I know what’s new and what’s review • generating answers is good for your brain

  14. Distribution of functional zones in relationship to Broadmann’s map of the human brain

  15. 02-07 W. W. Norton

  16. Broca’s Area: • language processing • speech production and comprehension • Broca’s aphasia: • results from damage to Broca’s Area (e.g., lesions) • unable to create grammatically-complex sentences • speech described as telegraphic, contains content words only • comprehension is relatively normal

  17. 10-09 W. W. Norton

  18. Stroop Effect Word Set #1

  19. From the Reading… • dependent and independent variables • confound • correlation is not causation

  21. Question: How do you figure out what the role of a certain brain area is?

  22. Extras…

  23. CONFORMITY & OBEDIENCE:MILGRAM STUDY Newspaper ad - study of memory - Yale Two people Researcher - here to help science improve learning and memory through punishmnet One “teacher” and one “learner” - a set of word pairs to memorize Teacher gives word, learner responds Correct response - “good” or “that’s right” Incorrect response - - press button that delivers shock

  24. CONFORMITY & OBEDIENCE:MILGRAM STUDY Shock Generator 15 volts - 15 volts steps - 30 switches 150 volts - “STRONG SHOCK” 255 volts - “INTENSE SHOCK” 375 volts - “DANGER, SEVERE SHOCK” 435 volts - “XXX” 450 volts - “XXX”

  25. CONFORMITY & OBEDIENCE:MILGRAM STUDY Initially,learner does well Then errors Learner complains that shocks are starting to hurt Screams Says that he or she does not want to continue Hesitate, question researcher Learner complains about heart condition More errors - teacher pleads to concentrate “You have no right to keep me here!” “I refuse to answer any more! You can’t hold me here! My hearts bothering me!” At 300 volts, no more response Experimenter says that after 5 sec, it is a wrong answer

  26. CONFORMITY & OBEDIENCE:MILGRAM STUDY Shock Generator 15 volts - 15 volts steps - 30 switches 150 volts - “STRONG SHOCK” 255 volts - “INTENSE SCOCK” 375 volts - “DANGER, SEVERE SHOCK” 435 volts - “XXX” 450 volts - “XXX” All the way to 450?

  27. CONFORMITY & OBEDIENCE:MILGRAM STUDY Shock Generator 15 volts - 15 volts steps - 30 switches 150 volts - “STRONG SHOCK” 255 volts - “INTENSE SCOCK” 375 volts - “DANGER, SEVERE SHOCK” 435 volts - “XXX” 450 volts - “XXX” All the way to 450? - 65%
