This assignment is a research report on a study that you have helped to conduct and collect data for. Your topic is priming intelligence. For a very quick intro to priming you should watch the video in the week 3 folder assignment related task, then read the key priming study included in the week 4 folder (it is also at the top of the reading list, or see link below). Ok, so you know what priming is AND you’ve read the key study – we’re going to try and replicate and extend that study. A key thing you need to ask from the key study is… what are the possible behaviours we could investigate to find out how intelligence priming works? The authors suggest 3 possible behaviours that may explain how priming intelligence works. If you’re still feeling confused then it sounds like you need to pull together all the assignment related tasks so far, please look out for these in weeks 3,4,5 and 6. These tasks guide you through the topic, a guided reading of the key study and finding literature. The studies ideas you created and added to the padlet in week 6 have informed our design and method. We will go through this method with you in week 9.
