Entry Task: Get with a partner and prepare to discuss review questions. Agenda  Review  Memory and School Exit Ticket:

2.  Discuss how social or cultural factors can affect cognitive processes.

4.  First to apply the terms. He questions why psychologists can claim to do a cross cultural study without rigorously examine the differences in methods.  Etics are marriage, kinship, principles, concepts of intelligence, time orientation and other dimensions of culture, education of children and stress.  Emics are definitions of marriage, kinship rules, what is valued in education, monochronic or polychronic time orientation and how stress is experiences

5.  Etic: Universal behaviors  Emic: culture specific behaviors  Why do these terms matter?  Effects of cultural bias on psychological research  We assume that an emic from our own culture is in fact an etic.  This is Ethnocentrism.  Cross cultural research often aims to reveal behaviours which may be universal and potentially biological but when imposed etics are part of the research design than conclusions can be very misleading.

6.  Three steps to create universal categories that are useful to comparing cultures. 1. May have to start your study with an imposed etic. You must then use that knowledge to create a emic that is truly meaningful to people being studied. 2. Researchers create new categories that reflect what is observed in another culture. These are called derived etics. You can now use these to make comparisons. 3. Finally you now apply the derived etic in new research setting and continue to modify them.

7.  Why is it difficult to measure intelligence between cultures?  Watch segment.

8.  Bartlett- nonliterate African tribal people use rote recall on memory tasks.  Michael Cole wanted to test the idea.

9.  Cole (1971)  Aim: Test Bartlett’s idea by giving free recall tests to Kpelle farmers in Africa.  He chose items that would fit into familiar categories and yet….

Early Work: What is the aim, procedure and findings of the Wilhelm (sleep) study? Agenda  Review  Culture Exit Ticket:

15.  Cole and Scribner (1974) – Aim- investigate memory strategies in different cultures - Used college educated Kpelle adults to help them develop the tests.

17.  One complaint about Kpelle children is they could not measure.  Kpelle use Kopi (a tin can) and Boke (bucket) to measure rice in the market place.  Demonstration- Estimate how many cups and then Kopi of ___ are in the bowls

18.  Aim: to discover if Kpelle could measure.  Subjects: American and Kpelle adults, Kepelle children.  Procedure: Each subject was presented with four mixing bowls of equal size holding different amounts of rice. (1.5 kopi, 3, 4.5 and 6 kopi)  Results showed that the Kpelle people could indeed measure; in fact the adults were very accurate. Both the Americans and Kpelle children made mistakes.

19.  “People learn to remember in ways that are relevant to their every day lives and these do not mirror the activities that cognitive psychologists use to investigate mental processes.” (Crane, 81)

20.  Does your neighborhood impact your cognitive abilities? Can I predict how smart you are based on where you live? 

21.  Gautreaux Program: (Chicago)  Given vouchers to move from  Random assignments based on availability. After 10 years, Children living in higher SES neighborhoods performed better academically than children still in the poorer neighborhood.

22.  Field Experiment- 4,500 families  In five cities-  After 5 years children performed better academically and had better health.
