Cognitive Approach
Conclusion: The study suggests that adults with Asperger's syndrome or high-functioning autism may have difficulties in recognizing emotions from facial cues, specifically from the eyes.
Strengths: The study used a standardized test (RMET) that has been shown to be reliable and valid.
The study involved a relatively large sample size, increasing the generalizability of the findings.
Weaknesses: The study may not be representative of all individuals with Asperger's syndrome or high-functioning autism.
The study's findings may be limited to the specific emotions tested in the RMET.
Psychology Investigated: The effect of suggestion on false memories.
Background: Research suggests that it is possible to implant false memories in people.
Aim: To investigate whether it is possible to implant a false memory in adults about enjoying eating asparagus as children.
Procedure: Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire about their food preferences.

Behavior, cognitions, and emotions can be explained in terms of the working of the brain and the effect of hormones.
Similarities and differences between people can be understood in terms of biological factors and their interaction with other factors.
