METHODS Participants There were nine participants in this study, five in the first group and four in the second group. The first group included Daina Berry, Justin Quintrell, Paige Govey, Natalie Campbell, and Jared Flannery, while the second group included Megan Powell, Kyle Sugonis, Abigail Mrozek, and Vanessa Landgrave. These participants are undergraduate students from Dr. Kelling’s 11:00AM Experimental Psychology course. The students partook in the study in order to receive a passing grade
Summary Statement: Experiment one tested the concentration of experimental beta blockers, and its relationship with the percent decrease in of the heart rate of the Daphnia. Our goal, was to prove that, an increased concentration of beta blockers would decrease the overall heart rate of the Daphnia being tested. Our results, established, that as the beta blocker concentration increased, so did the decrease in the heart rate of the Daphnia. Experiment two tested two unknown concentrations (A and
The Little Albert experiment was a case study that attempted to provide evidence of classical conditioning. John B. Watson and his graduate study Rosalie Rayner conducted this study in the early 1900’s. The American Psychological Association considers Watson’s study unethical according to today’s ethical standards. Watson was never able to complete his study, and left many wondering what exactly happened to Little Albert. It is highly accepted that he died not many years after the study, due to an
the right to determine which lives were worthy of living. During the Holocaust, it is estimated that about 6 million Jews were “euthanized” because he deemed them as undeserving of life. Included within that estimation are the victims of medical experiments, which physicians imposed on them without consent. People in positions of power determined who were worthy of continuing to live, with what we now consider basic human rights, and those unworthy were euthanized or used in medical experimentation
The third point that Singer makes has to do with experiments on animals. It’s unacceptably cruel to make animals suffer for the products that will be used by humans. It’s complete none sense to make an animal suffer just so more cosmetic products can be produced. Many animals have suffered and died in the labs from different products, chemicals and drugs used on them. The lab animals undergo a lot of stress and pain just so humans can have products that won’t cause their eyes burn, make their skin
The Elixir ”Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment” is a short story written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. In this story Dr. Heidegger, “who is known to tell a thousand stories” (Hawthorne 1), gets four old and perhaps depressed friends to drink “elixir”. These people start to feel young and rejuvenated again. In the process of reading this story a question presents itself. This question is whether the elixir Dr.Heidegger is testing is actually real. The answer is simply yes, the elixir is real. One piece of evidence
Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to observe the pill bugs’ behaviors when introduced to a stimuli, a strong scent, and it is important to notice whether the pill bugs perform taxis or kinesis as a result of the stimuli. In addition, the purpose is to learn how to properly design an experiment is. Introduction: Pill bugs are crustaceans that are unlike lobsters, crabs, shrimp, etc. Pillbugs spend their entire lives on land and can be found in damp environments. Since pill bugs do not
Equality knows that his inventions will benefit mankind greatly but he doesn’t do his experiments for that reason alone. Equalities motivation for his experiment was for his own joy. I think equality should be motivated by joy because it is something he enjoys and makes him happy. I think if everyone would be motivated by their passion the world would be a better place. Equality is motivated by himself. He wants to invent things. He’s not doing it for fame or to try to impress the council, but
Tma05, Introduction to a de100 project on the likeness of a logo A fictitious educational experiment was created and conducted by a team on the DE100 module and therefore they had to maintain plan and undertake a project to pinpoint their potential findings; this therefore meant launching a logo for internet TV channel in order to address whether or not evaluative conditioning works in either experimental or control conditions. The logo was used to question if it would attract an audience and
exactly go… optimally… and if this project fails... He looked away from the box to glance distastefully over the notes from the previous tests; he had had no choice but to test it on mice. If I had originally been using human test subjects when the experiments failed, it would have been the largest, most regrettable disaster I’ve ever experienced. The tests with the mice were incredibly rushed. I wish I had more time. Recently, he had been scanning deceased mice into robot versions using an updated model
