Resource summary
Godden and Baddley- Divers Evaluation
GENERALISABILITY
LOW GENERALISABILITY
Small Sample= 18 Divers on a diving holiday
Unrepresentative= All from the same diving club
RELIABILITY
Study's conclusions reinforced by findings of others
Smith (1985)
Words learnt listening to Mozart/Jazz/Silence were recalled best when background music at recall matched learning
Lack of control over extraneous variables in procedure;
Equipment failure, inconsistent diving location, lack of standardisation and timing, fitness, and weather conditions
However, they tried to standardise as much as possible;
How they gave the words, cold and wet at end of day, all in diving gear
Participants could have cheated
Researchers did not observe them through learning and writing stage
But unlikely as results seemed realistic- there was correlation
APPLICATION
EYE WITNESS TESTIMONY POLICE
Take witnesses back to the crime scene of the event
Or recreate the event to cue memories
EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
Reinstating the learning context for examinations
i.e. Learn in hall, sit exam in hall
VALIDITY
HIGH VALIDITY
Realistic open water environment for divers
LOW VALIDITY
Learning words is artificial
Not a realistic reflection of everyday memory
ETHICS
PROTECTION
Divers 20 feet under water, so at risk
However they were experienced divers
CONSENT
Consent was given by participants
