Assignment Description

Hi this is a lab question for a psychology class called Neuron Psychology, the idea of the assignment is to read the pdf article attached below and answer the question in the instruction given by the instructor below. Use only the pdf article attached. The instruction below has more info and the questions.
Instruction by the instructor
Carefully read the article attached, then answer the questions below.
Answer the following questions in a separate file that contains only your numbered answers.
Do not include the questions in your answer file.
Name the file “Lab2_YOURLASTNAME.doc” (or .docx).
The purpose of these questions is to ensure that you read and understand the article prior to working with the raw data during lab.
Answer the questions in your own words.
Quotations and plagiarism are not acceptable.
You should not need to consult sources beyond the article.
Use complete sentences with appropriate capitalization and punctuation.
You just want to demonstrate that you understand the gist of each answer.
Long, detailed answers are not necessary.
These pre-lab questions will help you understand the motivations behind the study, as well as the results and conclusions the authors make based on their findings.
This is in preparation for the next two labs. During these labs, you will be replicating the main analyses using the raw data from this paper.
Please submit your answers in a new word document – do not include any text from this document in your submission.
Do not include a heading with your name, the class name, Dr. Ketels’ name, etc. – Canvas keeps track of that for us.
As always make sure to check out the grading rubric for this assignment!
Lab 2: Pre-Lab Article Questions
1. What is the sentence superiority effect? Be sure to describe the different conditions needed to examine sentence superiority.
2. What is the visuospatial bootstrapping effect? Be sure to describe the different conditions needed to examine visuospatial bootstrapping.
3. According to the introduction, briefly explain why the prior effects indicate an interaction between short-term memory (STM) and long-term memory (LTM)?
4. According to the introduction, what approach do the authors say they use to understand if the hippocampus is necessary for STM/LTM integration (e.g., what is the study’s approach)? Briefly, what does this approach entail?
5. In the Experiment 1 results, (a) did the size of the sentence superiority effect differ between amnesic patients and normal control subjects? Think: what variable’s main effect or interactions between variables would answer this question? (b) Report the ANOVA results that support this conclusion (e.g., F(df1, df2) = X, p = Y).
6. In the Experiment 1 results, (a) did the size of the sentence superiority effect differ between amnesic patients with damage limited to the hippocampus (H) and those whose MTL damage extended beyond the hippocampus (H+)? (b) Report the ANOVA results that support this conclusion (e.g., F(df1, df2) = X, p = Y).
7. What do the Experiment 1 results suggest about the necessity of the hippocampus and MTL cortex for observing the sentence superiority effect?
8. In the Experiment 2b results, (a) did the size of the visuospatial bootstrapping effect differ between amnesic patients and normal control subjects? (b) Report the ANOVA results that support this conclusion (e.g., F(df1, df2) = X, p = Y).
9. In the Experiment 2b results, (a) did the size of the visuospatial bootstrapping effect differ between amnesic patients with damage limited to the hippocampus (H) and those whose MTL damage extended beyond the hippocampus (H+)? (b) Report the ANOVA results that support this conclusion (e.g., F(df1, df2) = X, p = Y).
10. What do the Experiment 2 results suggest about the necessity of the hippocampus and
MTL cortex for observing the visuospatial bootstrapping effect?
11. From the General Discussion, (a) summarize the domain-specific theories of
hippocampal function the authors discuss on p. 278, and (b) name and provide an example of the associations important for these theories.
12. What do the results of these studies suggest about extending the domain-specific
theories to the binding of information across STM and LTM (STM-LTM integration) and why? (Hint: this can be answered in one sentence)
13. In the General Discussion, what two memory models do the authors discuss in relation to their own results?
14. Your textbook distinguishes between lesion studies using the single case, group, and multiple-case approaches. Which approach, or perhaps combination of approaches, did this study use?
