Intercontinental University Aspects of Psychology Individual Project # 2 Experiments and Adaption July 30‚ 2012 ABSTRACT This paper is explaining five experiments; the process and results. It talks about sensory adaptation and how adaptation is evident in each of the experimental results. It also provides a comprehensive description of the sensory systems in the experiments that I performed. Before starting the four experiments‚ I had to remember that I had to keep in mind that there are five

The Bobo Experiment was performed in 1961 by Albert Bandura to try and prove that people‚ especially children‚ learn their social skills and behaviors from copying or mimicking adults in their lives rather than through heredity genes. Bandura wanted to show‚ by using aggressive and non-aggressive adult-actors‚ that a child would be apt to replicate and learn from the behavior of a trusted adult (Shuttleworth‚ M. 2008). These issues have been present for many years‚ even before the media used these

so deeply ingrained and powerful that it cancels out a person’s ability to behave morally‚ ethically‚ or even sympathetically. In 1963 Milgram carried out an experiment. He hypothesized that individuals who would never intentionally cause someone physical harm would do so if ordered by a powerful authority figure. To carry out the experiment‚ Milgram designed a shock generator- a large electronic device with 30 switches labeled with voltage levels from 30 volts increasing at 15-volt intervals to

Biotechnology‚ Mapua Institute of Technology ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ solubility class of various organic compounds are to be determined. The main objective of the experiment is to identify an unknown compound through the use of preliminary tests such as examination of physical state‚ color‚ odor‚ and ignition properties. Also‚ solubility tests were used to further examine an unknown compound’s solubility class. In this experiment‚ the apparatus used are micro test tubes and droppers for mixing

were derived from his experiments‚ proved that obedience is one of the basic elements in the structure of social life. The proximately of the victim‚ responsibility for the actions‚ and perceived legitimate authority figures will greatly determine how far an individual will go to fully comply. Obedience‚ which is one of many social influences in our life’s‚ results in a change in behavior when a direct command is given by a high authority. The main focus in Milgram’s experiment was to specify what

To confirm this assumption‚ the experimenter‚ Victor Seo has developed an experiment to prove the hypothesis: “people who consume lots of chocolate will produce more acne than people eat less chocolate. 400 students of teenagers with grades ranging from 9 to 11 will be examined divided into four groups each consuming 1 bar‚ 3 bars‚ 6 bars‚ or 10 bars daily. This experiment will remain over a time period of a month. Meals will be served in equal amounts and the amounts of

Why will insulators affect how long a test tube of hot water stays hot? Background Information I know that there are many different ways of insulating this test tube‚ shiny foil can be used because it’s a poor emitter of radiation and it will reflect escaping heat by reflecting‚ because this method is used in flasks to keep hot drinks warm. Though it is a good conductor so will lose heat through to surfaces its touching but it shouldn’t matter because it will be touching air and glass which both

Stanley Milgram: ’electric shock’ experiments (1963) - also showed the power of the situation in influencing behaviour. 65% of people could be easily induced into giving a stranger an electric shock of 450V (enough to kill someone). 100% of people could be influenced into giving a 275V shock.

The Bandura et al experiment in 1961 conducted research into how we can transmit aggression through imitating aggressive models. 36 boys and 36 girls aged between 37 and 69 months were subject to this experiment. There were 3 conditions‚ the control group‚ the group exposed to the aggressive model and the group exposed to the passive model. In the standard condition‚ a child was settled in a corner with a small table and chair‚ potato prints and picture stickers. An adult model was then escorted
