Memory Test Lab Report

BEFORE CONDUCTING THE EXPERIMENT - You should already have submitted to your teacher an EXCELLENT Investigation Design that included:

The Memory Interference Test (MIT) is a computerized experiment that gauges the cognitive functioning of undergraduate students through visual or auditory prompts to test memory. The MIT is particularly used to test patient’s memory in situations where a brain injury is in question, the results in performance are compared to standardized scores of their peers. There is an inverse relationship between the amount of memory target items and performance: as the number of items the subject was exposed to increased their performance significantly decreased (Komori 2016). Does previous expose to the MIT and thus previous exposure to other target items account for the decrease in number of correct items?

In this project, C. Elegans are hermaphrodite worms that will be used since they are easy to maintain in lab, as well as have short life cycles. The gene that the project attempted to knockdown in C. Elegans with RNAi treatment is the unc-22 gene. RNAi disrupts gene expression in the presence of double stranded RNA (dsRNA) that is complementary to target gene sequence. The unc-22 gene codes for a muscle protein called twitchin in wild-type worms. The Unc-22 is required for muscle regulation and maintenance in C.Elegans. To verify that the RNAi treatment worked, would check the unc-22 mRNA levels in the worms, in addition to phenotype observation.

The mole is a convenient unit for analyzing chemical reactions. Avogadro’s number is equal to the mole. The mass of a mole of any compound or element is the mass in grams that corresponds to the molecular formula, also known as the atomic mass. In this experiment, you will observe the reaction of iron nails with a solution of copper (II) chloride and determine the number of moles involved in the reaction. You will determine the number of moles of copper produced in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the number of moles of iron used up in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and determine the number of atoms and formula units involved in

The author of the following excerpt concluded that the study was statistically significant. The hypothetical research article compared memory test performance between two groups of participants: those who consumed a caffeinated beverage before the test and those who consumed a non-caffeinated beverage:

FRIDAY, Sept. 11, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- High doses of resveratrol, a compound found in red wine and berries, may have some activity against Alzheimer's disease, a preliminary clinical trial suggests.

This memory book is about a young Vietnamese, American teen name Trung that grew up in America for the past 13 years, hoping to find a better way to settle things down soon after he graduates from High School. He grew up in a house of 2 siblings, an older brother, and sister which is now living life to their full potential. Trung is a boy that is loved by many of those whom meet him. People mistaken him for being a cranky person, but truly he’s just going through ups and downs. He has good intentions, but just bad moods all the time. Although he was not the brightest kid growing up, he still has the ambition to make a positive change in his work ethic by working hard in school, and he hopes that some day he will eventually succeed in life and

As a large group we will discuss the each objects we are testing. Objects to test (Rocks, foil, wood, pencils, styrofoam, metal, plastic container, lego, eraser, and milk jugs)

Label the 3 test tubes with your initials and number each 1,2, and 3. (This allows for them to be distinguished)

The primary aim of Experiment 5 was to test whether participants are spending more time searching memory for A-Br relative to C-D pairs. If the cues for the A-Br pairs seemed more familiar to participants, this could encourage them to search memory longer for the pair relative to C-D pairs. It is reasonable to assume that they would be more familiar given that the individual items in A-Br pairs tend to be better recognized relative to C-D pairs (Aue et al., 2012; Criss & Shiffrin, 2005). In memory models such as REM (Diller, Nobel, & Shiffrin, 2001) the time spent searching memory is represented as an index of the number of times the model attempts to retrieve information from memory and either fails or rejects the retrieved information. Thus, each additional attempt at searching memory affords an additional opportunity to retrieve either the correct memory trace, retrieve an incorrect memory trace, or to fail to retrieve the memory. As such, having an additional opportunity to retrieve something from memory could boost the likelihood of retrieving either the correct or incorrect trace for A-Br pairs relative to C-D pairs and could potentially explain both the PF and PI observed in the current data.

What is the effect of ink color (cool, warm and black) on the memory of students? Humans, especially students, are always look for new ways to improve their memory. Memorization is an important strategy used by students in schools all around the world. When people with Alzheimer 's start to lose their memory they often go to extreme measures to preserve it. If there is a way that something as simple as color can make important information more retainable then we should use it to our advantage. If the effect of taking notes in pencil, warm colored ink, and cool colored ink is tested then, it is predicted that warm color will increase memory and number of correct answers from the worksheet in the most students. To test the hypothesis 5 students will complete a worksheet that they will complete using their assigned ink color. Following that they will complete a test based off of the worksheet and when they finish the results will be evaluated and compare it to the previous data. To determine raw data the total the number of questions answered correctly from each color group will be divided using the formula x/y, y being the number of total number of questions and x being the number answered correctly. The data collected during experimentation supported the hypothesis. The average number of questions answered correctly when the effect of color on memory was tested for the following groups was pencil with one, black with one, cool with one and warm with one.

Introduction: In 2002 the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry recommended that children who have attention - deficit /hyperactive syndrome should be considered for simulate treatment because current medications like Ritalin and Metadata are less effective. Recently though new forms of these drugs, Metadata, Adderall and Strattera have been released in the United States. Also after these drugs were released in Canada the net consumption of MPH has drastically increased in a short amount of time. The new MPH’s ability to release 40% of the dose at a fast rate and the rest at a slower rate has been proven to be effective in treating children and adults with ADHD. The rate of plasma increase during the first two hours of the simulation

Students will be grading the scantrons from the hypothetical students. Half of the class will be grading a packet in this order: scantron for Student ‘A’, an Ability Attribution survey, scantron for Student ‘D’, and an Ability Attribution survey. The other remaining half the class will receive the packet in this order: scantron or Student ‘D’, an Ability Attribution survey, scantron for Student ‘A’, and an Ability Attribution survey. The demonstration will start after telling the applicants that our topic is about how efficiently people can form impressions about others based on really no information at all other than the person test performance. Then we will instruct the class that they will be correctly two multiple-choice tests taken by students on mental ability, after that the class will be asked to answer several questions about their perception of the student. The class will not be able to talk during the grading portion. The applicants will be working through the given packet in order presented to them, and they will not be able to go back to the previous page once they are answering the Ability Attribution survey. Once the grading has begun the applicants will place an ‘X’ on the scantron next to any entry a student has gotten wrong. The answer key will be read to the class (a,c,c,b,a,d,b,b,a,e,a,a,c,a,a,a,d,e,a,d,c,b,a). Once the grading is done, the applicants will move in their packet to the next page where they will then complete the Ability
