Lab 1: Jungian Dream Analysis, Lab 2: Gender Stereotypes (Implicit Associations), Lab 3: Colour-Word Stroop Experiment,

What is Jungian dream analysis?

A method of interpreting dreams to uncover personal conflicts, memory processing, and problem-solving.

What is the main research question of the Jungian dream analysis lab?

Do dreams help consolidate memories, process emotions, or reveal unconscious conflicts?

What does IV stand for in research, and what is it in the dream analysis lab?

Independent Variable; the type of dream analysis or stimuli used (archetypal symbols, free associations).

What is the DV in the dream analysis lab?

Dependent Variable; interpretation of dream elements, emotional reactions, and thematic consistency.

What is a projective technique?

A psychological assessment method used to reveal subconscious thoughts, such as the Rorschach Inkblot Test or Thematic Apperception Test.

What is Macro Analysis in dream interpretation?

Identifying the emotions and major themes in a dream.

What is Free Association in Jungian dream analysis?

What was the purpose of Lab 2 on Gender Stereotypes?

To examine how implicit associations affect perceptions of gender roles.

What are implicit associations?

Unconscious links between concepts, such as gender and specific roles.

What is response latency?

The time taken to respond in milliseconds; used to measure reactions to gender-role pairings in Lab 2.

What is the Stroop Effect?

A cognitive phenomenon where reaction times slow down when the ink color and word meaning conflict.

What is the DV in the Colour-Word Stroop Experiment?

Reaction time (Skill Time in seconds) when performing tasks with conflicting information.

What are automatic vs. controlled processes?

Automatic processes occur unconsciously (like reading), while controlled processes require conscious effort (like naming ink colors).

What is an Interference Effect?

Occurs when an automatic process disrupts a controlled process, such as reading interfering with color naming.

What is the Subtractive Technique?

A method for measuring cognitive processes by subtracting baseline reaction times from interference reaction times.

What are control variables in research?

Factors kept constant throughout an experiment to ensure valid results.

How does sleep contribute to memory consolidation?

Sleep is believed to enhance the processing and retention of information learned during the day.

Why is it important to review materials daily before a test?

Regular review aids memory consolidation and reinforces learning.
