Explain how you would carry out an experiment to examine the effect of temperature on memory. The research needs to produce interval data. Justify your decisions as part of your explanation. (12 marks) In your answer you should provide details of: . . The type, design and aim of the experiment. Justify why you have chosen each of these by linking them to their strengths. Identification and manipulation of operationalised variables including details of the task. State the IV and the DV. Describe the task e.g. How will the IV be manipulated and the DV be measured? Give the experimental and the null hypothesis. Controls to minimise the effects of extraneous variables. Identify the potential extraneous variables (e.g. situational, participant, experimenter effects, demand characteristics), and describe how these will be dealt with e.g. standardized instructions, counterbalancing, random allocation of participants, maintaining the same environment etc) Analysis of data- use of descriptive statistics and/or data presentation; Inferential statistics What type of data will be generated. How will this data be presented e.g. table, bar chart etc. Which statistical test will be used and why? Ethical issues. Identify potential ethical issues (e.g. Informed consent, deception etc) and describe how you would deal with these (e.g. debriefing) Explain how you would carry out an experiment to examine the effect of temperature on memory.
