Given the problems with the evolutionary approach to psychology, what is a major advantage to using this approach?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Dr. Fodor has found that when college sophomores at his university work in pairs to solve difficult Sudoku problems, they often resolve the problems more quickly and accurately than those who work alone.
 
  However, Dr. Fodor wishes to replicate his findings to generalize that working in pairs is more effective than working alone. In what two main ways would you suggest he replicate his findings, and in what ways should he go about conducting these replications?
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

Answer: Evolutionary psychology can be used to generate novel hypotheses about human social behavior that can be tested using research methods such as experiments, correlational designs, or observational studies.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Dr. Fodor should try to replicate his findings across people and situations. In order to replicate across people, he may choose to conduct his study using participants from other age groups, those who are not college students, and even participants in other cultures. To replicate in other situations, Dr. Fodor would want to assign different types of problems, such as word problems, or even examine tasks that pairs perform in a workplace setting.
