    Study Notes

    Experiment Design

    • Participants were required to sleep regularly (at least 6 hours per night) for a week prior to the experiment.
    • Participants were not warned that they might encounter inconsistencies when viewing the photos and reading narratives.

    Experiment 2 (b)

    • Participants were separated into two groups:
      • Evening-encoding group completed the encoding phase in the evening.
      • Morning-encoding group completed the encoding phase the following morning.
    • Both groups completed the remaining stages of the misinformation procedure.
    • Participants were instructed to focus on the narratives but were not warned that they might encounter inconsistencies.
    • Participants were asked to indicate where they had acquired the information (pictures, narratives, or both).

    Description

    This quiz covers the design of an experiment examining the impact of encoding timing on participant responses. Participants' sleep habits and their awareness of potential inconsistencies in narratives are key elements of the study. Test your understanding of these experimental setups and their implications in psychology.
