    1.From the study by Dement and Kleitman (sleep and dreams):


    (a) From the dream-duration estimate part of the study:
    State how Dement and Kleitman chose whether to wake a participant after 5 minutes or after 15
    minutes of REM sleep.(1]
    (b) Describe the dream-duration estimates for the participant DN whose responses did not follow
    the same pattern as others.[2]
    (c) Outline one strength of the study.[2]

    2. (a) State what is meant by an ‘open question’. [1]


    (b) Outline one open question from the study by Dement and Kleitman (sleep and dreams). [1]

    3. From the study by Dement and Kleitman (sleep and dreams):


    (a) Name the stage of sleep when participants recalled most of their dreams. [1]
    (b) Outline one dream reported by a participant that had vertical eye movements. [2]
    (c) Outline one conclusion from this study. [2]

    4. Dement and Kleitman (sleep and dreams) used a sample of volunteers.


    Suggest why this sample may not have been representative of sleep and dreams in the general
    population. [2]

    5. Explain one or more real-world applications of the study by Dement and Kleitman (sleep and
    dreams). Do not refer to more than three applications in your answer. [5]

    6. From the study by Dement and Kleitman (sleep and dreams):


    (a) Describe the procedure of this study from when the participant arrived at the laboratory until
    the participant fell asleep for the first time. [4]
    (b) Outline how dream recall was recorded during this study. [2]

    7. One part of the investigation by Dement and Kleitman (sleep and dreams) involved a correlational
    study measuring a range of times spent in REM sleep and the number of words in the participant’s
    dream narrative.
    a) Explain why this part of the investigation was a correlational study rather than an experiment.(1)
    b) Explain one disadvantage of using a correlation in this study. (2)

    8. In the study by Dement and Kleitman (sleep and dreams), the procedure that the researchers first
    used to measure participants’ estimations of REM sleep duration was unsuccessful and had to be
    revised.
    (a) Describe how the researchers first attempted to measure participants’ estimations of REM sleep
    duration. [2]
    (b) Describe the revised procedure used to measure participants’ estimations of REM sleep duration.
    [2)

    9. Evaluate the study by Dement and Kleitman (sleep and dreams) in terms of two strengths and two
    weaknesses. At least one of your evaluation points must be about generalisations.(10)

    10 . Describe the psychology that is being investigated in the study by Dement and Kleitman (sleep
    and dreams). (5)
