Explain advantages/disadvantages of a range of methods used by psychologists including experiments, correlation, observation, case study questionnaire.
Our experiment of memory recall process was in a room of 16 female participants and 1 male..A list of words were read out by an examiner with a 2 second pause between words,and then we had to write down all that we could remember. The extraneous variables were-noise outside, people talking, lighting, temp,people walking past, examiner standing on one side of room.we were not aware of this experiment about to take place.we were not given an option.the design used was an independent group design.The sample used was opportunity sample. Independent Variable was the location of word.Dependent variable was recall of words.
