1. Research Methods & Variables | 研究方法与变量
All psychological investigations rest on how we measure and manipulate behaviour. Nail these foundation terms and you will instantly strengthen your evaluation of every study you meet.
所有的心理学研究都建立在我们如何测量和操纵行为之上。抓住这些基础术语,你就能立即提升对每一个研究的评价能力。
Independent Variable (IV): The factor the researcher deliberately changes or manipulates. Remember: 'I change the IV' — the 'I' is independent.
自变量 (IV): 研究者主动改变或操纵的因素。记忆法:"我 (I) 独立地改变它,所以叫 IV"。
Dependent Variable (DV): The outcome that is measured; it depends on the IV. Memory aid: 'DV depends on IV' — think of a dog depending on its owner.
因变量 (DV): 被测量的结果;它依赖于自变量。记忆法:"DV 依赖 IV",就像宠物依赖主人一样。
Operationalisation: Clearly defining variables in a way that makes them measurable. Picture an "operation manual" that tells you exactly how to run the variable.
操作化: 以可测量的方式清晰地定义变量。想象一份"操作手册",精确地告诉你如何运行这个变量。
Extraneous Variable: Any extra variable that might affect the DV if not controlled. Think 'extra-neous' — extra noise you want to shut out.
额外变量: 任何未加以控制就可能影响因变量的多余变量。联想 "extra-neous" —— 你想要关掉的额外杂音。
Confounding Variable: An uncontrolled extraneous variable that actually messes up the results, making you confused about what caused the effect.
混淆变量: 一个未受控制的额外变量,真正搅乱了结果,让你搞不清楚到底是什么造成了效应。
2. Experimental Designs & Controls | 实验设计与控制
Choosing how to allocate participants is crucial for validity. Learn these design terms with simple images so you never mix them up.
选择如何分配参与者对效度至关重要。用简单的图像来学习这些设计术语,就绝不会混淆。
Independent Groups Design: Different participants are used in each condition, like two separate islands that never meet.
独立组设计: 每种实验条件下使用不同的参与者,就像是两个永不碰面的独立岛屿。
Repeated Measures Design: The same participants take part in all conditions. Mnemonic: they 'repeat' the experience.
重复测量设计: 同一批参与者参加所有条件。记忆法:他们"重复"了经历。
Matched Pairs Design: Participants are paired up on key traits (like twins), then one from each pair does each condition. Think 'match made in the lab'.
配对设计: 根据关键特质将参与者配成对(像双胞胎),每对中一人做一种条件。联想"实验室里的天作之合"。
Counterbalancing: Used in repeated measures to control order effects — often an ABBA pattern. Remember the pop group ABBA balancing the sequence.
平衡抵消: 在重复测量中用来控制顺序效应,常用 ABBA 模式。记法:想象 ABBA 乐队在平衡歌单顺序。
Random Allocation: Assigning participants to conditions purely by chance, like pulling names out of a hat, to avoid bias.
随机分配: 纯粹偶然地将参与者分入不同条件,像从帽子里抽名字,以避免偏差。
3. The Multi-Store Model of Memory | 多储存记忆模型
Atkinson and Shiffrin's model describes how information flows through three stores. Use sensory snapshots and number tricks to keep them straight.
Atkinson 与 Shiffrin 的模型描述了信息如何流经三个储存系统。用感官快照和数字窍门把它们梳理清楚。
Sensory Register: Very brief, modality-specific storage (iconic for vision, echoic for sound). Mnemonic: 'Snap, it's gone' — a snapshot that fades instantly unless you pay attention.
感觉登记: 极短暂、通道特定的储存(图像记忆 for 视觉,声像记忆 for 听觉)。记忆法:"咔嚓,消失了" —— 一张快照,除非你留意,否则瞬间褪去。
Short-Term Memory (STM): Holds about 7±2 items for 18–30 seconds. Picture 'seven sheep' jumping a fence for 20 seconds.
短时记忆 (STM): 保持大约 7±2 个项目,持续 18–30 秒。想象"七只羊"跳栅栏跳了 20 秒。
Long-Term Memory (LTM): Potentially unlimited capacity and duration. 'LTM = Long Time Memory' — it lasts forever once encoded deeply.
长时记忆 (LTM): 容量和持续时间潜在无限。"LTM = 长时间记忆" —— 一旦深度编码,就永久保存。
Encoding in STM vs LTM: STM mainly uses acoustic (sound) coding, while LTM prefers semantic (meaning) coding. Remember: 'Sounds Stay Short, Meaning Moves Long'.
短时与长时记忆编码: 短时记忆主要使用听觉(声音)编码,而长时记忆偏好语义(意义)编码。记法:"声音停留短暂,意义迁移长远"。
4. Everyday Memory & Forgetting | 日常记忆与遗忘
Memory isn't perfect — interference, context and suggestion shape what we recall. These terms appear throughout the crime and eyewitness topics, so give them a mental 'crime scene' setting.
记忆并不完美 —— 干扰、情境和暗示塑造着我们回忆的内容。这些术语在犯罪与目击者专题中反复出现,所以给它们一个"犯罪现场"背景来记忆。
Proactive Interference: Old learning disrupts recall of new information. Think 'PRO-active' — the past PROceeds to block the new.
前摄干扰: 旧知识干扰新信息的回忆。联想 "PRO-active" —— 过去(PRO)抢先阻断新知。
Retroactive Interference: New learning disrupts recall of old information. 'RETRO' — the new goes backwards to mess up the old.
倒摄干扰: 新知识干扰旧信息的回忆。"RETRO" —— 新知向后倒退搞乱旧知。
Context-Dependent Forgetting: Recall is better when the environment matches the learning context. Police take witnesses back to the scene for a reason!
情境依赖遗忘: 当环境与学习情境匹配时,回忆效果更好。警察把目击者带回现场是有原因的!
Leading Question: A question that suggests a particular answer, e.g. 'How fast were the cars going when they smashed?' The word 'smashed' leads you to estimate higher speed.
引导性问题: 暗示特定答案的提问,例如"当车子撞碎时速度有多快?" "撞碎"一词引导你给出更高的速度估计。
False Memory: A fabricated or distorted recollection of an event, often created by suggestion. Picture a Wikipedia page that anyone can edit.
虚假记忆: 对事件的捏造或歪曲
