How Learning Schedule Affects Learning

Psychology is the science of mind and behavior. Its immediate goal is to understand behavior and mental processes by researching and establishing both general principles and specific cases. For many practitioners, one goal of applied psychology is to benefit society...

The study was conducted using college students. Fifty-nine female and thirteen male students in introductory psychology courses at New York University

The first study involves seventy-one undergraduate students, male and female, who ranged in age from seventeen to fifty-six years. The experiment entailed the participants to write an essay particularly pertaining

The current study had 23 participants from Miami University took part in this experiment. Throughout the study, 2 participants were excluded from analyses, because they failed to follow task instructions or failed to complete the entire experiment. This left a final sample of 21 participants (16 female, 4 male, 1 do not wish to disclose). The mean age was 21.20 years (SD = 7.06). Most of the participants were white (n = 16) while the rest included Asian, Black/African American, and Bi- or Multiracial (n = 5). In addition, in the demographic section of the survey, participants answered their academic standing: freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, or other. The majority of the participants were juniors (n = 9) closely followed by

A total of 44 participants are recruited from a psychology course “Research Method” from University of British Columbia. In the first round of data collection, 11 participants are recruited from the same section of the course while the second round of data collection, 33 participants came in from other sections as well. After the first round of the study, 3 are scientifically removed since they have left 2 pages of the questionnaire blank or rating only one version of the picture, which would induce no comparison between the original and altered photos. Therefore, our data are presented with 41 active participants.

Komarraju (2011) had few limitations during this experiment. The participants that was in this study only gave self-reported GPA’s. In the future, researches need to always obtain the participants grades through school records. This will add more reliability to the information that is used. Also, there

The target population was high school students. To withdraw relatively equal sample of students from every grade level, eighteen freshmen and twenty-three sophomores from two English classes were chosen. The upper-class participants included twenty-six juniors and twenty-four seniors from two AP Psychology classes. In total, the sample size were 91 participants, with 42 female participants and 49 male participants.

In contrast, starting late possesses ample positive effects. First of all, obtaining more sleep improves overall performance in school. “Delaying school start times by one hour, from roughly 7:30 to 8:30, increases standardized test scores by at least 2 percentile points in math and 1 percentile point in reading” (“THE IMPACT OF SCHOOL START TIMES…”). If students are more alert because of increased sleep, classroom performances will improve, which will benefit the school as a whole. Not only will grades increase, schools will be able to save money with a later start. According to Houston, 30 percent of transportation costs will be saved. All of this extra money could be free to spend on learning, which will, in turn, benefit students academically. Secondly, students will not be rushed in the morning, which will reduce the number of tardies and absences. According to “Impact of School Start Time on Student Learning”, principals noted that students were less likely to skip first period and their overall attitudes toward school improved.

Participants were recruited through flyers posted on campus. Fifty-one undergraduate and graduate students from the University of Rochester took part in the experiment. To control for potential gender differences, we tried to recruit an equal number of individuals of each gender. Every individual from each gender group was randomized to every experimental group.

Participants were men and women (N = 26) enrolled at James Madison University, a mid-sized public university in Virginia. All students were enrolled in a Psychological Research Methods course and participated in exchange for partial course credit. The mean participants age was 19.62 years (SD = 1.02), and sample consisted of 23% freshmen, 46% sophomores, 27% juniors, and 4% seniors. Of the 26 participants in the study, 12% were men and 88% were women.

In this experiment, N=60 participants will be studied which will be a random sample. The random sample will be done by having randomly choose students from the psychology department. The sample will consist of college students from the psychology department at Texas A&M International University. The participants will be randomly assigned in the experiment to the experimental group and the control group.

There were 112 participants in the study, 48 were male and 64 were female. They were all college undergraduates receiving course credit for participating in the study. The raters were 4 advanced psychology undergraduates, 2

College students were the population of interest. A convenience sample was used to recruit participants from a single Research Methods in Psychology class at Rowan University. Recruitment was limited to the specific class so that the

Following the distribution of flyers in their psychology classes, students will participate in the study during class time. A researcher will give a brief presentation on the purpose of the study

Participants: The subjects in this experiment were collegiate students at the University of Connecticut. There where 8 male and 12 female participated in the experiment, there were a total of 20 students ranging from 18 to 20 years of age.
