- Description
Part of the Series : Understanding Psychology
This program clarifies selected principles of science by contextualizing them through easily comprehensible applications of psychological research. Divided into five sections, the video illustrates the hypothetical-deductive model of scientific reasoning via Piaget’s classic conservation experiment and Donaldson and McGarrigle’s challenge of it; the analysis of statistics involving scenarios in which a record producer considers signing a new band and a student carries out IQ testing; the use of graphs to present data from a study of romance ads; the concept of statistical significance through the conducting of memory tests; and data interpretation through a study measuring levels of aggression. Viewable/printable educational resources are available online. (28 minutes)
Length: 29 minutes

How Science Works (02:21)
FREE PREVIEW
Scientists develop theories, test those theories, make necessary modifications and begin again. Based on his experiments, Piaget determined that children's cognitive abilities develop over time.
Challenging Piaget's Theory (01:18)
McGarrigle and Donaldson challenged Piaget's conservation experiment arguing children learn cognitive skills much earlier then Piaget's experiments showed.
Hypothetical Deductive Model (01:45)
The hypothetical deductive model is based on observing events and developing or revising ideas based on those observations.
Descriptive Statistics (02:56)
Dan, a record producer, uses descriptive statistics to help him decide which of two bands to sign.
Normal Distribution (02:51)
Education psychologists use IQ tests to test a child's ability to learn effectively.
Data Presentation (02:26)
Psychological research data is presented graphically depending on the needs of the psychologists.
Graphing Data (02:54)
Using pie charts, line graphs, scattergraphs, bar charts, etc. psychologists can view their data in various ways.
Statistical Analysis (02:49)
Using memory tests, psychologists must choose an appropriate statistical test to determine if their data results have statistical significance.
Getting the Right Results (02:25)
Statistics are used to determine if boys score better than girls on memory tests.
Data Interpretation (01:53)
Psychologists test respondents to determine if gender impacts level of aggression.
Mann-Whitney U Test (01:20)
Psychologists use a Mann-Whitney U test to determine if the differences between the two groups are the result of chance.
Measuring Validity (03:19)
Measuring the validity of the data collected is important to ensure the results achieved reflect true differences in the scores.
