🚀 Quick overview: We're exploring how theories or models connect with investigations, using examples from Loftus and Palmer (1974) and Bransford and Johnson (1972).

 

🔬 Science in action: Let's imagine that we are detectives trying to solve a mystery. Theories or models are like our trusted guidebooks or Google Maps. They give us the roadmaps to follow while our investigations are like the journey itself, leading us to uncover the truth.

Description of theories or models 📚

First, we must clearly describe the background theory or model and the replicated experiment. Reading the original research paper is like watching the trailer of a cool new movie. It offers you the key insights and ideas you need to understand the whole thing.

 

💡 For example: In Loftus and Palmer (1974), they focused on the "reconstructive memory" theory. It's like when you try to remember a movie scene—you don't remember it perfectly, you reconstruct it from bits and pieces. And in Bransford and Johnson (1972), they looked at "schema theory" which is all about how our prior knowledge affects how we understand and remember new stuff. Imagine you're a Star Wars fan and you see a new sci-fi movie; you'll probably understand and remember it better because you've already got that space-opera schema in your head!
