Both Loftus and Palmer (1974) and Grant et al. (1998) have significant methodological implications for how cognitive processes are investigated and understood.
In their study, Loftus and Palmer (1974) wrote as part of their findings, 'These results are consistent with the view that the verb introduced into a question can systematically alter a person's memory of an event... the phrasing of a question can reconstruct memory.' (Loftus and Palmer 1974, p.589).
In their study, Grant et al. (1998) wrote, 'Environmental context-dependency effects are robust when tested using meaningful academic material in realistic study conditions... Students should perform better in exams if they study in quiet rather than noisy environments.' (Grant et al. 1998, p.623).
Evaluate the methodological validity (including ecological validity and experimental control) of these studies in relation to each other, with reference to their aims and practical applications.
