Unclear about what studies to use for some LOs

Hey guys!

I'm having trouble connecting studies with some of the LOs and I would be really grateful if you guys can give me suggestions. :)
From BLOA:

  • Discuss ethical considerations in research into genetic influences on behaviour.

​My friend told me to use Minnesota Twin Studies, is that alright?

From CLOA:

  • Evaluate two models or theories of one cognitive process.

​Can I use two-factor theory & appraisal theory for this one? Or does emotion not count as a cognitive process? Should I just go with MSM & LOP models just to be on the safe side?

  • Discuss how and why particular research methods are used at the cognitive level of analysis.

​A lab experiment is one way, but what about the other research methods? Should I use HM as a case study or?
Thank you in advance! :)

Twin studies experiment is all about genetic influences on behavior, there are various ethical considerations so this should be fine. I would include more than just the Minnesota experiment, however.

Emotion should count as a cognitive process but it is not explicitly stated in the syllabus.

Other research methods include brain imaging (there is overlap from the biological level) but very often cognitive neuroscience is investigating the biological structures that underpin cognitive processes, HM's memory deficits and his brain damage counts here just make the link to cognition very clear.
