Brimer Experiment Lab Report

In experiment 1, participants were instructed to press a key to determine if the stimulus was red, blue, yellow, or green. On the second half of the experiment, the stimulus appeared in grey with only one colored letter which was positioned randomly. Error rates for the experiment were below 2.5% for each condition, which is quite low. Experiment 2 was the same as experiment 1 except that there were 114 data collections instead of 288 and there were 36 practice trials instead of 72. According to experiment 1 and 2 it is suggested that the effect of

If the response time for this experiment by saying the word” now” falls between 100 and 200 milliseconds, I would conclude that

To first understand the importance of the clinical reaction time test, the physiological pathways involved in reaction time must first be

1. Form hypothesis: Do you think you will react more quickly to sights or sounds? Explain why.

The hypothesis is that when trying to remember the word pair list with whatever memory methods used, the beginning and ending word pairs will be remembered most often. The subjects that were chosen came from Indian temple friends and classmates in chemistry class. The target population was eight subjects in three groups, which was a total of twenty-four subjects. There were eight subjects in the control group and eight other subjects each in the two experimental groups. They were divided into control and experimental groups randomly being a mix of temple friends and classmates. A independent variable is manipulated or changed. The independent variable was the word pair list needed to be memorized. The dependent variable is what is being measured in an experiment, which was the results of the word pair test. It was a single blind experiment, which is when only the participant does not know whether they are part of the treatment or control group.

The Stroop experiment by J. Ridley Stroop in 1935 was performed in order to analyze the reaction time of participant’s stimuli and desired results while also obtaining a collective result of color interference and word reading(Stroop, 1935; Lee & Chan, 2000). In the experiment three forms of the test were given, the first consisting of color patches, the second had the color words printed in black and the other was an incongruent test beaming the color did not match the color word

In Experiment 1, words that were labeled as aggressive had a reaction time that was 9 milli-seconds(ms) faster than the non-aggressive words. In Experiment 2, instead of words they used pictures of guns and plants and animals. Participants named the aggressive pictures 5ms faster than the non-aggressive ones, after being exposed to plant pictures. However, when being exposed to pictures of weapons the reaction time was 11 ms faster (Anderson pg. 311-313). Meaning that the exposure of guns in the classroom would make the brain react drastically versus an environment where no guns were present.

The purpose of this lab was to experimentally and scientifically ascertain the percentage of oxygen in Chem B at Woonsocket High School. It was hypothesized that if the percentage of oxygen is measured experimentally in Chem B at Woonsocket High School, then it would be higher than the percentage of oxygen in dry air, which is 20.95%, because the air is not dry due to moisture in the air from people breathing and the altitude of where the experiment takes place may affect it as well.

To start your experiment you need to get all your materials. You will need,three cups, three shells, acid, measuring spoons, electronic balance and water. First we're gonna pour 120 ml (water) in the three cups ( tps whole ⅛ ). Then were gonna put one shell in each cup and let them soak in the acid. Then we're gonna take them out and measure the different weight. Cup A will need a whole tps and the rest filled with water. Cup B is gonna need ¼ tps and the rest filled with water. Cup C will need ½ tps and the rest water. gonna need

Luck and Vogel's change detection experiment was made to determine exactly how much information can a person withhold from a quick flash of stimulus. They modified the previous change dtetction experiment alittle. Rather than asking the person if there was a change in the display only, they also ask the person to recall the amount of items

The participants that were going to test the subjects, rode an escalator up and down and stood behind someone and waited until the person noticed they were there then the subject waited until off the escalator and noted what happened. This happened with all 20 people.

The two independent variables were luminant cue patches (light cue, dark cue and equiluminant cue) and location of the cue and target (valid side with cue and target on same side and invalid side with cue and target on opposite sides). The dependent variable was participants’ reaction time in millisecond.

This study added to the well know innovation of the Stroop effect and experiment by John Ridley Stroop through a Stroop task experiment. There were twenty participants who completed two conditions, which tested reaction time. For each condition the participants were asked to read aloud the number of digits that appeared on each row as fast as they could. One condition number figure matched the number of digits. The second condition did not match the number figure with the number of digits. After the experiment was done, it showed a significant difference for reaction time between both the conditions. The Stroop task demonstrates

The reaction time (RT) of students was measured in the experiment to determine whether light or sound stimulus initiates a quicker response time. The question of whether or not RT was related to movement time (MT) was also challenged. Each student performed two test in random order; one testing the reaction time of a red light stimulus, or visual reaction time (VRT); and the other testing the reaction time of a “beeping” sound stimulus, or auditory reaction time (ART). The student completed the VRT trial by simply receiving the stimulus and pressing a button. The student placing and holding their hand on a button starts the ART trial. Once the student receives the stimulus (beep) they press the adjacent button as fast as they can. The ART trial does not only include the data of the RT, but also the data from the MT. Having previous knowledge that light travels faster than sound; one can predict that VRT is faster than ART. The prediction that MT is independent upon RT can be made with the thought that there are so many opposing variables that could affect the MT of an individual unrelated RT such as old age

To find out what happens to a subject’s reaction time when different independent variables are applied.
