Psychology Research Skills Module Question
My research question is: ‘Is non-clinical therapy effective in preventing women from committing suicide within prison?’.
Once you have applied the methodology and have tested it correctly and the results come out accurately, then put forward a hypothesis.
However, the methodologies do not need to be done in real life, they just need to be able to be accurate and testable because if someone were to apply the methodology, they should be able to test it and results should come out accurately.
Important tips:
• The methodology used for my research proposal should be possible for the next researcher to replicate the given methodology and produce the same findings.
• A well designed and carried out methodology should result in the same or very similar outcomes every time.

Cognitive Psychology Literature Review It is a literature review, question is:
What is attention? Has psychology explained it?
Cognitive Psychology Literature Review
Cognitive psychologists try to build up cognitive models of the information processing that goes on inside people’s minds, including perception, attention, language, memory, thinking, and consciousness. The emphasis of psychology shifted away from the study of conditioned behavior and psychoanalytical notions about the study of the mind, towards the understanding of human information processing, using strict and rigorous laboratory investigation. The cognitive approach began to revolutionize psychology in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s, to become the dominant approach (i.e., perspective) in psychology by the late 1970s.
