Dr. Jeffries, a cognitive psychologist, conducts an experiment examining the effect of emotion on memory. She provides lists of

20 words to two groups of participants. The emotion group is given a list of words that are very emotional in content (e.g., passion, murder). The neutral group is given a list of words that are neutral in content (e.g., houseplant, desk). Each group studies the words for 3 minutes. Then, after a 5-min distractor task (watching a video about nature), Dr. Jeffries then measures how many words each group is able to remember.

Answer:

The emotional or neutral word list                                    

Explanation:

          In a psychological experiment, an independent variable is one which can be manipulated and can be controlled by the experimenter or the researcher. Whereas a dependent variable is that variable which can be measured by the researcher or the experimenter.

           In case of independent variable, the experimenter can change the variable and these variables have a direct effect on the dependent variable. While the dependent variable is assumed to be "dependent" on the independent variable.

           In the context, the list of emotional word or the neutral words are the independent variable as Dr. Jeffries can manipulate or the change the words that is given to the participants.

discuss how the an appeal in ability to effectively develop appropriate study skills may negatively impact our ability to study
lidiya [134]

Answer and Explanation:

The appeal to develop appropriate study skills can impair the ability to study efficiently. This is because students in the search to create a perfect study routine with efficient skills, can spend all their energy and dedication in this search, worrying about adopting efficient techniques than actually studying. This promotes frustration, demotivation and inefficient study.

This search for perfect study techniques can be created with the inspiration of people who present them as the right ways to study. However, each student must create his own study technique based on his own skills, so that he can make an effective study. Using other people's techniques, or seeing some techniques as absolute, can remove the focus on studies and promote the focus on the search for a nonexistent perfection.

In this case, it is more beneficial that the student does not become attached to study techniques, but develops his own techniques, based on his routine, availability and academic intensity.
