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?

Farheen is a 28-year-old chemistry student but she has an intense anxiety concerning University Exams. While speaking to her friend she exhibited certain beliefs and cognitive distortions about her. Mentioned below are the statements which she often expresses, identify cognitive distortion in each statement and give a rationale of that as well. (Each statement ONLY has ONE cognitive distortion).

• I am nothing unless I have a degree
• I always have to please my family
• I cannot cope with the exams
• If I cannot cope with this, I cannot cope with anything
• I always have to do everything perfectly well; otherwise others will look down on me
• It’s my thing to make my father happy as he expects from me and I ruin everything every time.
• I have to be complete my degree with distinction or else I’m unable to do anything in my life
• No matter what I do this degree will always bother me

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.
