Short Term Memory Project
This project involves discovering how to create the best setting to improve the memory of humans. The goal of this experiment is discovering which music, if any, will create the best environment for retaining information. The types of music we resolved to use were: country, rock, rap, classical, choir, forest sounds, trap, Dubstep, pop, and heavy metal. The first segment of the experiment was purposed to test the application of short term memory, we played the different types of music in the background as we displayed a long, irrational number on the board for our test subjects to memorize. Afterwards, they would write down as many numbers as they could recollect. Subsequently, we reviewed their papers and tallied how many numbers they memorized

    The aim of this experiment was to determine the effect of music and age on STM (WM). The results of the experiment were confirming the hypothesis to some extent. The hypothesis was that the older the subject conducting the experiment is, the higher the cognitive performance, which will result in a higher level in completing the task. Also the subjects will be distracted when the music is played. However, some of the results did not match the hypothesis; such as Group2 (Year 9 Newman) that completed the task and reached a higher level with the music rather without music. Also Group 3 (Year 11), the subjects in this group had different results as the ones expected. The expectation was that Group 3 will accomplish the highest levels of the game,…

    Memory is the ability to retain and remember information. Many people consciously or unconsciously utilize skills or tools that aid to their ability of retaining information. There are three stages that are involved in memory which is sensory, short term memory, and long-term memory. In sensory memory, one shortly stores sensory information while in short term memory one can store information for a longer period of time and has a limitless capacity. On the other hand, in long-term memory information is permanently stored. Alongside memory is encoding, known as the process in which the mind stores or codes information that is helpful when retrieving information. The psychological phenomenon studied in this experiment is encoding. More specifically, how context affects encoding. In other words, context in the experiment was what we each participant were told what they were going to see. This affects encoding because participants have a background knowledge or an onset idea of what to look for or expect. Therefore, when the time comes to retrieve information not all information is able to remembered, instead only certain segments that best connects to the context. Thus, my hypothesis for this experiment is that participants in the costume ball condition are more likely to…
