The trial conducted by the University examining a drug’s effect on individual’s speaking habits was conducted in the form of an experimental study. The researchers chose to create two groups to participate: a treatment group that received the drug and a control group that was given a placebo. Based on how the treatment group responded to the drug compared to the control group without the drug, researchers could state that the drug led to improved speech. This structure of study differs from a correlational study where there are no variables being manipulated, and the intent is to find a correlation between two measured variables. In addition, an experimental study can lead researchers to determine a relationship between the independent and …show more content…
Additionally, the drug could have an impact on the prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain responsible for decision making (among other things). Those in the treatment group could experience a decline in their ability to evaluate a situation and make the right decision – they would have fewer inhibitions on their actions. These personality and decision making changes were not observed as a part of this study, but the treatment group did report a decrease in ability to move the left side of their body. This decrease in function of the left side of the patients’ bodies could be a result of the drug affecting more areas of the frontal lobe than strictly the Broca’s area; among other roles, the frontal lobe is responsible for controlling the movement of muscles and a stimulation of the right frontal lobe could result in decreased motor function of the left side of the body. This commonly reported side effect suggests that the drug is unable to target only one portion of the brain - the entire frontal lobe is likely affected. A glaring error in the design of this study is the inconsistencies in the treatment and control groups. The treatment group consisted of aspiring actors looking to overcome a stuttering problem, whereas the control group was a group of children with delayed verbal development. The results gathered by the trial note what happens to the actors after they

Procedure: Using distilled water, premeasured containers and objects determine displacement of fluids and density of objects. Use ice and heat measure temperatures in Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin.
Hoagland begins his essay with an analogy to help the audience understand his stutter in a clear and visual way. He likens his handicap to “trying to run with loops of rope around your feet” (Hoagland
Students will carefully observe acts of aggression and prosocial behavior on television, report their observations, and analyze their data to draw conclusions.
When analyzing the IR spectrum of Ruthenium complex with DMSO, the prominent peak is presented at 1105.54 cm−1. This peak indicates that S=O bonded in DMSO. For DMSO, the frequency is around 1050 cm−1. From our spectra obtained for DMSO where the S=O peak is at 1017.65 cm−1. Since the bond appears at a higher frequency, this shows that the bond is strengthened by the reaction. This indicates that when the copper metal was combined with DMSO, it bonded with the Sulfur atom. Combining ruthenium with sulfur atom caused it to donate a pi electron as a back donation.
After 60 years of stuttering, Hoagland reminisces about his struggles and triumphs to overcome his stuttering. While attending school, he learned that, “Life can become a matter of measuring the importance of anything you have to say.” He felt that it was

Researchers or research teams who elect a quantitative study are going to determine the relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable within a population (Babbie, E.R., 2010). There are two types of quantitative study designs: descriptive and experimental. A descriptive design typically measures the subject once and establishes the association between the independent and dependent variables (Mujis, D, 2010). An experimental design measures the subject before and after a treatment and establishes causality between the variables (Brians, C.L. et al, 2011).
Barry Yeoman in “Wrestling Words”, expresses the struggles of how stuttering becomes a setback in life. Stuttering may seem like an easy disability to overcome,but for those who struggle know the true devastating pain. Not being able to fit the cookie cutter perfect imagine of society not just physically,but also emotionally impacts stutters. Stuttering seems incurable,but organizations like the National Stuttering Project believe an end is reachable. Stuttering is not a life threatening disease,but a setback to thrive on.
This documentary focuses on the journey of seven different individuals who are considered people who stutter. I believe it is important to note the statistics of the prevalence of stuttering mentioned in the video. The statistic states that 1 out of 100 adult and 5 out of 100 children are people who stutter. This prevalence is important for speech therapists to become informed and equipped to treat this population. This documentary gives great insight on the struggles and successes of this population.
Margaret Milcoff, a student of Mill Creek Middle School, participated in an activity called the science fair. Her topic was “Does temperature affect the growth of basil plants?” Margaret has a rich desire to absorb all of the facts of the future, so she did this particular science fair experiment to find out if simple plants, such as basil, would be able to survive the deadly affects of global warming. Margaret used the scientific method through her trials of the science fair. So without further a due here is Margaret’s very successful and meticulous science fair journey.
The study will be separated into two groups, one will be the experimental group that will receive the intervention while the control group will receive pain medication. The intervention that the
Wilder used experimental techniques in staging the play to complement the experimental innovations in characterization and structure. There is minimal scenery in Our Town, which was a technique never tried before: “The audience, arriving, sees an empty stage… the Stage Manager begins placing a table and three chairs” (p. 3). There is also no curtain. The act begins with an open stage. Every single play produced before this had a curtain. Wilder was one of, if not the first, to use this innovative style for his work. There are no props in the show either. The actors have to pantomime their actions where props would typically be used: “carrying an imaginary rack with milk bottles.” (p. 10). To add more detail to the character’s actions, there
In 1939 an experiment now known as the “Monster Study” was conducted on 22 orphaned children by Wendell Johnson, a very influential speech pathologist at the University of Iowa. In this experiment the orphaned children were divided up into two separate groups. One group was given positive speech therapy, in which they were praised for their fluency. The other group was given negative speech therapy. They were belittled for every speech imperfection and told that they were stutterers. Many of the normal speaking children who were subjected to the negative speech therapy experienced negative psychological effects and some developed lasting speech impediments.
Psychology students from the university of Texas participated in the first experiment. Most of these students were female. The students were divided up into mostly equal groups based on their years of music lessons or singing lessons. Between one to two years and six years of music lessons are the most important years that effects of experience has on behaviour. The participants had to rate the intensity of their responses to the end of each of the bipolar adjective scales. The adjectives for the scales were chosen because of how familiar these words are to musicians. Harmonies in modulation was excluded in the experiment. Participants also had to indicate their feelings toward the the bipolar adjective scales. There needed to be a detailed
