7.1 Cognition Memory: AP psychology

Rosenweig/ Diamond lab report Problem: Does the environment of an organism affect its problem solving skills/brain activity? Hypothesis: enriched environments will yield better problem solving skill, whereas impoverished environments will yield inferior ones. Procedure: A sample group of rats will be randomly assigned to either a cage similar to that of a pet, in which toys games and ladders will be placed, or similar to that of a lab setting, a plain cage. The rats will then be subjected to a series of problem solving tests and the two groups will be compared. In addition their brain activity will be monitored.

Termite

Terman?s ?Termites? were intellectually gifted children, identified by their superior aptitude demonstrated on the Stanford Binet test at the age of 10. The criteria for selection was not random. Students were recommended by teachers and principals. These children were compared with 100 children deemed as having a lesser chance at success in life. This is hailed as the first true longitudinal study. It sought to track the social development of gifted children over a lifetime and, in effect, dispel the stereotype of profoundly gifted children as socially awkward people.
