research methods 2:
Case study: when we have very rare disorder/diseases
-Conduct in-depth interviews to gain insight into a rare disorder
-Case studies can provide profound insight into the working of the brain
-Examples: hyperthymesia: incrediable autobiographical memory(remembers
everything that happened)
-60 ppl in tthe world who has it
-pros: provide incredible detail on studied phenomena
-cons: the cases are often of rare disorders;results are not generalizeable
-application of gained knowledge is limited
According to research: Men talks more about research to men, and talks more
about social to women
Naturalistic observation:
-Consideration: researcher needs to be inconspicuous, if people feel they are being
watched, they will change their behaviour.
-pros: high on ecological validity: expect natural behavior in a natural setting
-findings: very generalizable
-cons: difficult to set up-what if no one shows up to the situation?
-observer bias: researcher sees what they want to see: get around by having
multiple ppl watching the same behavior then compare notes to see how reliable they
are
