Introduction and hypotheses: literature; previous research that supports the present work: theory + methods, hypothesis; if elaborative encoding is used then the material is recalled more effectively. Descriptive and correlational research: descriptive and correlational research methods permit investigators to describe patterns of behavior and to discover links or associations between variables, case studies, naturalistic observation, survey research. Naturalistic observation: researcher engages in careful observation of behavior without intervening directly with the research subjects or participants, observing natural behavior without intervening; looking through window.
