Detailed explanation-1: -The aim of the study by Canli et al was to show that emotive images will be remembered better than images that have less or little emotional impact. The main questions addressed in this study were; whether or not the amygdala is sensitive to different levels of emotional intensity of external stimuli.
Detailed explanation-2: -Canli et al (1999) found strong amygdala activation to resulted in improved memorization for the causing stimuli. He wanted to replicate his study with repeated measures design rather than independent to make sure that the initial results were not due to chance.
Detailed explanation-3: -High internal validity One strength of the study Canli et al.is that the study has high internal validity. This is because there was a standardized procedure and high levels of control, for example there was a bite bar (with dental impression) for each participant which was used to minimise head movement.
Detailed explanation-4: -What is the hypothesis in Canli et al? Emotionally intense stimuli will cause greater activation of the amygdala and lead to better recall then less emotionally intense stimuli.
