thank you!
Exemplar: Cognition and attractionDear John, where can students find detailed information about specific animal models such as the use of rats in OCD research you mention above? The reason I am asking is because I did not detect any specific reference in their textbook. Thank you...
Animal modelsDear Emily Yes, the video does make it seem like this is not the case. Remember, HM also had access to many old memories - and he also did create new memories (e.g., he knew that Nixon's wife was named Pat). So, it was not a complete loss...

Exemplar: Cognition and attractionThe two concepts (for lack of a better word) really do overlap. There is some similarity for sure. Generalizability is most commonly associated with quantitative research. Researchers study large, representative samples so that findings...
Generalizability and transferabilityDear Laura They do not have to focus on only one disorder. They may discuss prevalence rates in general - so, they could use the study by Becker on the change in prevalence over time in Fiji and one other study. Or they could only...
