Question

7 multiple choice 2 points part a: which of the following identifies the main idea of the text? sleep deprivation is a tactic that lowers a suspects mental defenses, allowing interrogators to extract the truth from them. suspects are more likely to remember details from a crime they committed when they are sleepy, as their mind and body are relaxed. sleep deprivation can cause distress in the body and mind, which makes suspects unable to understand what they are saying or the consequences of their confession. interrogators use sleep deprivation as a way to extract false confessions from suspects when they dont know who is responsible for a crime. 8 multiple choice 2 points part b: which detail from the text best supports the answer to part a? \people also sometimes falsely confess because they want the attention associated with a high - profile crime.\(paragraph 21) \they tell them that their fingerprints were at the scene when they werent, that they flunked a polygraph when they didnt, that an eye witness saw them do it when there is no such person.\(paragraph 19) \still, law enforcement officials are unlikely to alter their tactics anytime soon, says loftus: there is obviously a belief that sleep - deprived interrogations help capture the guilty better.(paragraph 23) \when people are mentally and physically fatigued, which is what happens in a sleep deprivation situation, they are more likely to do whatever it takes to end a punishing current situation\(paragraph 20) 9 multiple choice 2 points which statement best summarizes the procedure of the study reported in proceedings of the national academy of science? some participants were asked to confess to hitting the escape key after completing tasks, and their responses to this request were measured in relation to how much they had slept in the days before the study began. all participants were deprived of sleep before being asked to complete tasks on a computer, during which their errors were counted. two groups were asked to complete tasks on a computer without hitting the escape key, one group was then required to go a night without sleep, and members of both groups were asked to confess to hitting the escape key. individuals who had falsely confessed to crimes were given a task on a computer and then accused of doing the task incorrectly on purpose to see if they were more likely to falsely confess again.

Explanation:

Part A:

Sleep - deprivation is used by interrogators to extract false confessions as suspects are more likely to do whatever to end the punishing situation when sleep - deprived. This is the main idea.

Part B:

The detail about people being more likely to do whatever it takes to end a punishing situation when mentally and physically fatigued (due to sleep - deprivation) supports the idea that sleep - deprivation is used to extract false confessions.

Part C:

The summary of the study procedure should accurately describe the groups, tasks, and sleep - deprivation conditions. The option about two groups asked to complete computer tasks (one sleep - deprived) and then asked to confess about hitting the escape key best summarizes the study procedure.

Answer:

Part A:

Interrogators use sleep deprivation as a way to extract false confessions from suspects when they don't know who is responsible for a crime.

Part B:

"When people are mentally and physically fatigued, which is what happens in a sleep deprivation situation, they are more likely to do whatever it takes to end a punishing current situation" (Paragraph 20)

Part C:

Two groups were asked to complete tasks on a computer without hitting the escape key, one group was then required to go a night without sleep, and members of both groups were asked to confess to hitting the escape key.
