Moore PS101 DB 1 And 2


DB 1

Psychoanalytic theory suggests that some memories can be so painful, that a person can totally block them from their conscious memory and then later “recover” them; either spontaneously or while receiving therapy.  Others argue that these are false memories that can be created through the power of suggestion for some people.  Which viewpoint do you agree with and why?  Have you had a memory that later turned out to be incorrect?  What do you think was the cause of the error in your recollection?

 

DB 2

What limitations should be placed on research with incarcerated participants? What are the special ethical concerns with incarcerated populations? Remember to explain and cite educational sources to support your perspective.
