Shaw, J. L., & Skolnick, P. (1999). Weapon focus and gender differences in eyewitness accuracy: Arousalversus salience. Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 29(11), 2328-2341. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1559-1816.1999.tb00113.x 1. Define the weapon focus effect.2. What is the arousal explanation of the weapon focus effect? 3. What is the salience explanation of the weapon focus effect? 4. Why did Shaw and Skolnick measure recall of the intruder (perpetrator) and recall of the object? 5. What are the enhanced object processing and reduced overall processing explanations of the weapon focus effect? 6. Insert terms low or high in the cells to depict predictions of the arousal vs. salience explanations of the weapons focus effect.DV – recall of features of intruder (perpetrator) Explanation of weapon focus effectObjectNone or not salient Salient: Weapon Salient: Non-weaponArousal Salience DV – recall of features of object Explanation of weapon focus effectObjectNone or not salient Salient: Weapon Salient: Non-weaponArousal Salience 7. What was the original design of Shaw and Skolnick?8. What were the stimuli? Why did Pp watch a video of a party and write a summary of that video?9. Insert M recall accuracy of features of the intruder. Possible range 0–21. Gender of intruder ObjectControl: None or bookSalient: Weapon Salient: Non-weaponSpace cones or stethoscope Same as PpDifferent from Pp 10. Interpret the results in 9 from the arousal or salience perspective.11. Insert M recall accuracy of features of the object. Possible range 0-4. Gender of intruder ObjectControl: None or bookSalient: Weapon Salient: Non-weaponSpace cones or stethoscope Same as PpDifferent from Pp 12. In 11, which object(s) led to a same-gender recall advantage? Which object(s) led to a different-gender recall advantage? How did Shaw and Skolnick explain these effects?13. What was the correlation between scores on recall of features of the intruder and object? How did Shaw and Skolnick explain that
