AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: –The amygdala is sensitive to individuals who experienced the emotional intensity of visual stimuli with activity in the left amygdala during encoding being predictive of subsequent memory. High internal validity One strength of the study Canli et al.is that the study has high internal validity.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Canli et al. (1999) found that strong amygdala activation resulted in improved memorisation of the causing stimuli. He wanted to replicate the study with repeated measures design rather than independent to make sure that the initial results were not due to chance. A laboratory experiment was conducted.
