Head End Vs Tail End Lab Report

Once the experiment was over the results showed that the head end was able to retain the learning by classical condition better than the tail end could. There were more positive reactions with the head compared to the tail. It was not a drastic difference, but the head it was able to retain the learning slightly better than the tail end did. Not everything goes as planned so there were some experiment where the planarian was lost or it died. Some planaria did not retain the information before it was cut and those were not used in the results. If there was any confusing information it was not used as well. Any planaria that was dropped or if they were missing a head or tail that was not used. After the results were calculated it showed that 40 of the head that were used were able to retain the information and 34 tails were able to retain the information.
This also shows that the head was able to retain the information better. It was not un expected that the head was the one that retained more information because it has the ganglia in it and since the ganglia is in the head than the head has a better chance retaining information then the tail does. If anyone was to do this experiment they would see similar results. They would also notice that the head of the planarian was able to retain the information better then the tail. They will see that before they cut the planarian in half that it will react to light without being shocked as long as the procedure was done correctly. If it is not done correctly the results could be different and it might not respond. They planarian may be dropped onto the floor which might cause it to through off some of the
