Psychology - Cognitive Area Grant Et Al. (1998) Part 2
This deck covers key questions and answers related to the study by Grant et al. (1998) on cognitive processes, specifically context-dependent memory. It explores ecological validity, reliability, sampling bias, and more.
To what extent can research by Grant et al be seen as ecologically valid?
They were aimed to test context dependent memory using a more ecological valid task than previous studies. Reading an article was more ecologically valid in terms of in a educational learning environment. However, the task conducted was not part of a lesson, some heard artificial background noise which reduced the ecological validity, They were not typical examination conditions.

To what extent can research by Grant et al be seen as ecologically reliable? | The study was a highly controlled laboratory experiment. The procedure was standardised as it was recreated for 39 participants in different conditions. Inter-rater reliability between the two tests. |
Discuses the sampling bias within Grant et al.’s study. | Grant et al obtained an opportunity ample. They are convenient especially in a university situation. The sample may have been bias as only friends of the experimenters were used. |
To what extent can research by Grant et al. be seen as ethnocentric? | Cognitive processes such as reconstructive memory depend on the physiognomy of are brains , this is not related to your culture, However the study was conducted in America and findings may have been different to individuals who has not has western education. |
To what extent can Grant et al.’s research support psychology as a science? | Grant et al carried out a controlled lab experiment and these fulfil scientific criteria of theory, control, evidence and replication. |
Discuss research by Grant et al. in relation to the individual vs situational debate. | This study suggests that performance of students in exams if affected by the situational factor of the circumstance sin which we revise as opposed just to individual factors. |
How does research by Grant et al relate to the cognitive area? | It investigates the cognitive process of memory. Specifically, it aimed to investigate context dependent memory. This study demonstrated a context dependency effect on both recall and recognition. |
How does research by Grant et al. relate to the key theme? | The key theme is memory. Grant et al.s study demonstrates that, in the case of newly learned material, students memory was improved by studying and being tested in matching environments. Grant et al. added to the understanding of dependent memory, as opposed to reconstructive memory. Grant et al did not change our understanding of social and cultural diversity, since they were studying students from a similar background and the same culture as Loftus and Palmer. |
What are the similarities between Loftus and Palmer and Grant et al.? | The two studies were highly controlled lab experiment carried out at a university campus. Both studies used an independent measures designs, The samples were both made of of university students. Both studies were conducted ethically. Both studies gathered quantitative data. |
What are the differences between Loftus and Palmer and Grant et al.? | Lotus and Palmer were investigating reconstructive memory in eyewitness testimony, Grant et al. were investigating context dependent memory. Loftus and Palmer could not easily generalise their findings to the intended target population because of student bias in the sample. However, for Grant et al. their target population was students. |
