Collaboration, the act of working together with one or more people towards a shared goal or interest, is oftentimes imperative and beneficial when conducting research or a research study. In addition, time can be a key aspect of conducting meaningful and quality research in the field of Psychology. British psychologist, Alan Baddeley, outlined the importance and benefits of collaboration with other researchers and the prominence of time when developing Psychology methods and tests in order to ensure applicability, reliability, and the most information possible across various specializations in the Psychology field. As Baddeley mentioned in his article “On applying cognitive psychology,” well-known research like The Rivermead Behavioural Memory

The government has continued to reward researchers for studies conducted over narrow periods of time, whereas, the most influential research is typically derived over extended time periods and among multiple entities. Overall, Alan Baddeley’s article “On applying cognitive psychology,” emphasizes the significance of collaboration between various researchers who have complementary skills and the importance that time has on the development of concepts and studies within the Psychology …show more content…
This test was also unique and some of the results were surprising. It was interesting that the cold water had no affect because when I am cold, I tend to focus on being cold and sometimes find it hard to think about anything else. I would like to know exactly what causes information learned underwater to be better recalled underwater and vice versa. What in our brains causes this difference in abilities due to something as simple as a difference in locations? In addition, it was not surprising that the information learned from the Wrecks Test and the Crimes Test was ultimately forgotten between the 2 and 6 week tests, even by those who were healthy and had not experienced any deficits. This suggested that accelerated long-term forgetting is common in even the average, healthy individual. I can relate to this information because I do sometimes forget information after a long period of time has elapses yet I am likely to be classified as an average, healthy
