Method of Mann

Natural experiment with naturalistic observation

Experimental Design of Mann

Repeated Measures

Variables of Mann

IV - Lie/truth


DV - behaviour



Sample of Mann

1) 13 male, 3 female


2) age = 13~65


3) self selecting


4) crimes included: arson, attempted rape, theft

Videotape in Mann

1) 27 truths, 38 lies


3) 1 hour

Procedure In Mann

1) Observer A watched whole tape and coded


2) Observer B watched 36 random clips and coded


3) Inter-rater reliability excellent

Results For Mann


(Gaze aversion, blinking, pauses)

Lying/truthful


Gaze Aversion - 27.8/27.8


Blinking - 18.5/23.6


Pauses - 5.3/3.7

Conclusion In Mann

Hard to generalise behaviour


Blinking and pauses main behaviour clues


Due to cognitive load


(total amount of mental effort used in working memory that leads to neglect of body language and reduced overall movement)

Hypothesis in Mann

1) less movements


2) less blinking


3) more speech disturbances (more pauses)

Aim of Loftus

To see whether it is possible to input an entire false memory for an event that never happened.

Method Of Loftus

Field Experiment with self report and semi-structured interviews

Variables of Loftus

IV) 3 stages (booklets/interviews)


DV1) % of participants recalling true and false events


DV2) clarity rating


DV3) confidence rating

Experimental Design in Loftus

Repeated measures

Sample in Loftus

21 female, 3 male


Participant pairs (relative)


Age=18~53


Opportunistic Sample from Uni. Of Washington

Experimenters in Loftus

2 female experimenters from Uni. Of Wasington


Experimenter blind

Booklet in Loftus

5 page booklet


4 stories (1 paragraph long)


1 false story (always 3rd)


Space underneath for input



Relative's Invlovement in Loftus

Had interview




Got details such as :


1) Where family shopped


2) Usual family members involved


3) Shops that would attract interest




Also confirmed that false memory was false



Controlled features of false story in Loftus

1) 5 years old


2) crying


3) reunited


4) lost for long period of time


5) assisted by elderly lady

Procedure in Loftus

1) Interview with relative


2) Booklet sent to participants


3) 1st interview (either at Uni or via phone)


1~2 weeks after booklet completion


4) 2nd interview (" ") " "




Interviews involved recalling events and confidence/clarity ratings



Results for Loftus

True/false Interview 1/ Interview 2




Remembering events = 49/72 for all stages.


7/24 for booklet. 5/24 for interviews


Clarity = 6.3 (both) , 2.8, 3.6


Confidence = 2.7, 2.2. , 1.8,1.4




At the end of the study 5/24 chose a true story to be false



Conclusion in Loftus

People can be led to believe that entire events occurred after suggestion


Suggestion alters memory

Problems with original eyes test in Baron-Cohen

1) The answer could be a 50/50 guess


2) Scores covered a very narrow band


3) Ceiling Effects (too few questions/ too easy)


4) Could have used gaze direction


5) More female faces


6) Foil was semantic opposite


7) Words may not have been understood

Solutions to the Eye Test In Baron-Cohen

1) 4 words


2) 36 items


3) Fewer Easy Items


4) Items which used gaze aversion were removed


5) Equal numbers of female and male faces


6) 3 other words not semantic opposites


7) Included a glossary

Aim/Hypothesis in Baron-Cohen

1) See if revised Eyes Test works


2) To check for an inverse relation between AQ and Eyes Test


3) To see if females have superiority in the Eyes Test


4) If AS/HFA (and men) will score higher on the AQ and lower on the Eyes Test



Method in Baron-Cohen

Natural Experiment with questionnaires

Eyes Test Design in Baron-Cohen

1) 36 black and white photos of male and female faces taken from a magazine


2) 15x10 cm


3) Foils chosen by authors and judged by a 8 person panel (4 males and 4 females)


4) 4 items didn't pass (40 items reduced to 36)


5) Psychometric Test



AQ Test Design in Baron-Cohen

1) 50 multiple choice statements.


2) No way of not answering


3) Relaible and Valid


4) Psychometric Test



Participants in Baron-Cohen

Group 1 = 15 male adults with AS/HFA, mean IQ of 115 (from an advertisement in an autistic magazine)




Group 2 (control) = 122 normal adults (from public libraries in Cambridge and Exeter)




Group 3 = 103 normal students (53 male and 50 female) Cambridge graduates with higher IQ



Group 4 = 14 normal adults (IQ matched controls) to group 1.

Design in Baron-Cohen

Independent Groups

Procedure in Baron-Cohen

1) All four groups given Eyes Test


2) Groups 1,3 and 4 given AQ

Findings in Baron-Cohen

1) Group 1 had lowest mean score for Eyes Test (21.9) group 4 (30.9)


2) Sex difference not significant but present


3) Group 1 had highest mean score for AQ (34.4) group 4 (18.9)


4) Significant inverse correlation between AQ and Eyes Test



Conclusions in Baron-Cohen

All aims met and all hypotheses confirmed

Aim/Hypothesis in Held and Hein

If concurrent self-produced movement needs to be concurrent with visual stimuli to develop depth perception

Method in Held and Hein

Laboratory Experiment

Variables in Held and Hein

IV1) Kitten pairs X and Y


IV2) Active/Passive Kitten


DV) Visually guided behaviour

Experimental Design in Held and Hein

Independent Measures

Participants in Held and Hein

10 pair of kittens, each pair from a different litter

Apparatus in Held and Hein

The exposure apparatus


1) striped environment


2) One active kitten allowed to walk around - pulling passive kitten in gondola




Comfortable cage is where the kittens spent non-experimental.


1)no light


2) with mother and litter mates

Controls in Held and Hein

1) same environment for same amount of time


2) same tests


3) same living conditions (comfortable cage)

Procedure in Held and Hein

1) 10 pairs divided into into X (2 pairs) and Y (8)


2) All 10 pairs placed in carousel for 3 hrs./day (one active one passive). Then placed in comfortable cage


3) Underwent 3 main tests and 3 additional tests



Difference in X and Y Kittens in Held and Hein

X pairs were reared in darkness from birth until one member was fit enough to walk (8~12 w)



Y pairs were reared in darkness for 2 weeks. 2-10 weeks they placed in exposure apparatus for 3 hrs./day. (Double gondola)

Main Tests in Held and Hein

1) Visually guided paw placement (Kitten moved slowly towards table from above. Should extend paws)


2) Visual Cliff (Depth perception. Kitten should avoid deep drop.)


3) Blink to an approaching object (object = hand)

Additional Tests in Held and Hein

1) Pupilary Reflex To Light


2) Tactual Placing Response (vertical paw placement)


3) Visual pursuit of a moving object (hand moved in front of kitten to see if eyes follow it)

Conditions for tests in Held and Hein

1) Paw placement test done with both groups repeated six times after carousel.


2) Group X - When active kitten underwent paw placement, both did visual cliff. Retested next day. After test passive kitten exposed to light for 48 hour.


Group Y- Only active kitten tested for visual cliff after paw placement. Passive kitten only tested after 126 hours (3 hrs./day * 6 weeks) of carousel time

Results for Additional Tests in Held and Hein

All kittens responded normally.


No visual impairment or impaired response to moving objects.

Results in Held and Hein

1) For group X, when active kittens passed the paw placement and blink test, none of the passive kittens did


2) All active kittens passed visual cliff. Passive kittens did not


3) Group Y kittens behaved as Group X for paw placement and visual cliff


4) After 48 hours of freedom, no after effects shown

Conclusion for Held and Hein

Self produced movement with concurrent visual feedback is necessary for the development of normal visually guided behaviour
