Calibration Lab Report
Hello all,
I went into the lab and none of the Ps had notes of calibrations occurring during or between any of the task.
P 24, 54 and 71 all have massive decreases from baseline to both task. The real problem is that with out a note of when calibration occurred there are three logical explanation for this. First, that they ran across campus and were not actually at baseline when baseline measures where taken thus leading to the decrease when they do finally calm down. Secondly, the machine could have been uncalibrated during baseline then the experimenter calibrated the machine after baseline but before the memorization period and did not write it down. Finally, it is also possible that the machine was calibrated at baseline and then became uncalibrated afterwards leading to the large decrease.

This P could have become uncalibrated after baseline leading to the increase seen on the memorization periods and then got recalibrated before recall leading to the drop back to baseline. This last P was ran by me, so it is hard for me to believe I would have not written down when I calibrated them and feel it is more likely that they just put forth a lot of effort on the memorization period and not the recall one. I am sorry if these notes are not that much help, but the packets are very minimal on

    1. Some potatoes increased in mass while others decreased due to osmosis. Potatoes that had a higher concentration increased in mass because water passed through the membrane into the potato in an effort to dilute it. Potatoes that had a lower concentration than the solution decreased in mass because water flowed through the membrane into the solution trying to dilute the solution. The water moves to the higher concentration to dilute it/maintain homeostasis, increasing or decreasing mass depending on whether it goes in or out.…

    I failed to recall and apply specific information related to each subtest. For example, while scoring the protocol I failed to remember both of the scoring rules for the Picture Span (PS) subtest. I marked item-20 as 0-point response because the items were provided in the wrong order. However, that was incorrect. The response to this item was a 1-point response because the correct items were provided in the wrong order. Because of this error, I invalidated this subtest by discontinuing too early. As a result, I was unable to calculate the examinee’s Working Memory Index (WMI), PS raw and scaled scores, and all other scores that required use of the WMI or PS.…

    In unit 7.3 the experiment tested the ability of lactase to specifically bind and interact with lactose compared to maltose. In unit 7.4 the experiment tested the role, if any, that metal ions have on the activity of lactase. My hypothesis for unit 7.3 was knowing that lactase is specific for lactose, lactose will separate into galactose and glucose, as maltose will not change (153-155). Lactase should like lactose. For unit 7.4 my hypothesis was that EDTA will remove the ions, and will not work.…
