Why do you think children under 7 are quicker than you at doing this?!! Take the sheet home and try it out on friends and family

Try the digit span test This test measures the Capacity of your Short Term Memory (STM) Serial Digit Span Technique Jacobs (1887) STM = 5-9 digits Miller (1956) ‘The magical number 7 +/- 2’

Attachments Harry Harlow (1959), was responsible for some of the most controversial experiments to have been performed in animal laboratories. Disturbed female monkeys were forced to breed against their will. Baby monkeys were hung upside down in total darkness for up to two years. So what motivated Harry Harlow to conduct such disturbing experiments? Bizarrely, the answer is love. Harry Harlow's work was an attempt to understand the nature of love, particularly that between mother and child. Defenders maintain that Harlow: revolutionised and brought warmth to the way we parent infants influenced crucial policies which operate in children's homes, social service agencies and the birthing industry in Britain and throughout the world today. Can cruelty teach us anything about love? harlow’s monkeys

Social Psychology Conformity & Obedience

The work of Milgram and Zimbardo Two very controversial experiments carried out in the 70’s to test obedience to authority Both were ethically controversial. The Zimbardo experiment was stopped after a few weeks. It led to Ethical Committees and Codes to be introduced to safeguard participants taking part in Psychology experiments. candid camera
