Blind Procedures

13.7K
Ideally, the people who observe and record the children’s behavior are unaware of who was assigned to the experimental or control group, in order to control for experimenter bias. Experimenter bias refers to the possibility that a researcher’s expectations might skew the results of the study. Remember, conducting an experiment requires a lot of planning, and the people involved in the research project have a vested interest in supporting their hypotheses. If the observers knew which...

Molecular Shapes01:18

Molecular Shapes

62.5K
Molecules have characteristic shapes that are crucial for their function. The arrangement of various electron groups around the central atom dictates their molecular geometry. Electron pairs in the valence shell of a central atom will adopt an arrangement that minimizes repulsions between the electron pairs by maximizing the distance between them. The valence electrons form either bonding pairs, located primarily between bonded atoms, or lone pairs.
Two regions of electron density in a diatomic...

Regression Toward the Mean

7.2K
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.5K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

The Placebo Effect01:54

The Placebo Effect

6.9K
The placebo effect occurs when people's expectations or beliefs influence or determine their experience in a given situation. In other words, simply expecting something to happen can actually make it happen.

Self-Schemas02:16

Self-Schemas

36.4K
In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A man's recurring nightmare about a gummy substance may stem from early infant distress during breastfeeding. This case highlights how early pre-verbal experiences can manifest as adult anxieties and impact the infant-mother dyad.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Psychoanalysis
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Recurrent nightmares can be linked to unresolved early life experiences.
    • Pre-verbal memory and its impact on adult psychological states are complex.
    • The infant-mother dyad is crucial for early emotional development.

    Observation:

    • An eighty-year-old male patient experiences a recurring nightmare involving a gummy substance being forcibly inserted into his mouth.
    • The patient's efforts to remove the substance are consistently unsuccessful, causing significant anxiety.
    • A detailed exploration of the patient's neonatal period is undertaken.

    Findings:

    • The nightmare is hypothesized to be a manifestation of a distressing neonatal breastfeeding experience.
    • This experience is believed to be encoded in the patient's earliest pre-representational memory.
    • Clinical data on pre-verbal infant trauma supports the link between early experiences and later psychological phenomena.

    Implications:

    • This case suggests that early, pre-verbal traumatic experiences can have lasting effects on adult mental health.
    • Understanding the earliest infant-mother interactions is vital for comprehending the origins of psychological distress.
    • Psychoanalytic approaches can offer insights into deciphering the symbolic language of nightmares rooted in early life.
