You pose some interesting ideas regarding both IQ testing and the notion of training oneself to "gorget" bad memories. It's interesting to see how the mind works and one can train their memory. An example I ask students consider is the experience of a trauma. These can be negative in nature and really impact an individuals day to day experiences. What are ways they might attempt to forget the negative memories in ways that positives ones are not forgotten as well? Does that make sense?

Eight studies are described briefly below. What research method
was employed in these studies, also write the rationale of your
choice of response.
1. A researcher is interested in whether drinking water
right before bed increases the likelihood that children will wet
the bed at night. The researcher recruits 50 5-year-old children to
participate in her study. Twenty-five children are given two
glasses of water two hours before their bedtime (one glass per
hour) and twenty-five children are prohibited from receiving
liquids within two hours of their bedtime.
2. A researcher was interested in how children learn
how to settle disagreements with peers. The researcher talked to
his five-year-old daughter and asked her to describe how she
interacted with her peers. The researcher then read a few stories
to his daughter about children her age who got into disagreements
and asked her what she would do in that situation. The researcher
continued to interview his daughter like this for five years.
3. University officials have noticed that there is a
relationship between scores on the Graduate Record Exm (GRE) and
performance in graduate school. Specifically, those students with
the highest scores tend to do best in school.
4. In an attempt to determine which method would assure
the best class attendance, an educational psychologist had one
teacher reward students for attending class with extra points, a
second teacher punish absences by deducting points, a third teacher
scold students for absences, and a fourth teacher do nothing
unusual. Attendance was best in the first class where the teacher
rewarded the students.
5. A researchers is interested in whether people are
more likely or less likely to help someone in distress when others
are present. Some subjects were testes when they alone were witness
to someone in distress, while others were tested when many people
were present. The researcher discovered that witnesses were much
more likely to help when hey alone witnessed the person in
distress.
6. In an attempt to determine which method would assure
the best class attendance, an educational psychologist had one
teacher reward students for attending class with extra points, a
second teacher punish absences by deducting points, a third teacher
scold students for absences, and a fourth teacher do nothing
unusual. Attendance was best in the first class where the teacher
rewarded the students.
7. A researcher who was suspicious that hyperactivity
in children was related to the amount of sugar in their diet
recorded both sugar intake and activity level for a sample of
children over a five month period. The results indicated that those
children who had consumed the most sure tended to be the most
active.
8. In an investigation of drug abuse, it was noted that
there was a relationship between the ages at which an individual
first started experimenting with drugs and the severity of the drug
abuse problem. Specially, those who experimented with drugs at the
earliest age tended to be those with the most severe drug abuse
problems.
9. To investigate the relationship between anxiety and
test performance, three groups of subjects are tested under one of
the following conditions: high anxiety, moderate anxiety, low
anxiety. The moderate anxiety group performs between on the test
than either the high anxiety or the low anxiety groups.
10. Researchers looking at the relationship between
intelligence and birth order found that the children with the
highest IQ scores were most likely to the first born in the
family.
11. In a study of animal motivation, researchers varied
the number of hours their laboratory animals were deprived of food.
While some had food continuously available, others were deprived
for 12 hours, and some were deprived for 24 hours. The researchers
discovered that the animals deprived for 24 hours worked harder for
food than did the others.

In Section II of the text, the following scenario is presented: "Imagine yourself walking across a parking lot toward your car. It's late and the parking lot is poorly lit. You are alone. Standing near your car is a man who is watching you. Are you afraid?" The text mentions that men and women will respond differently to that question. Why is that the case, and what are the effects (policy implications) of that difference?
