Document Summary
Case study: an in-depth investigation of an individual person or small group of people, often over an extended period of time; not good for making generalized conclusions of an entire population. Direct observation: can allow for long periods of observation rather than a brief measure of behaviour. Questionnaire: participants respond to a written list of items or questions. Experiment: used to test the relationship b/n variables. Concluded that environmental stimuli associated with morphine administration leads to diminished drug effects, which can lead to overdoses. The n-back test involves matching an image if it is identical to the image that was presented n images ago. Ie matching an image to an identical one presented 5 images ago. Experimental evidence leads to more concrete cause-and-effect conclusions. Anecdotal evidence contains too many confounds, and is not based on any admissible evidence, thus it should not be generalized.
