Design of a Psychological Experiment Psyc 100 (0110-0129) Fall‚ 1996 Dr. Sternheim Report #1 (10 points) Problem: Suppose you are a psychologist who is interested in the effects of caffeine on the eye-hand coordination of students enrolled at UMCP. Design an experiment to test the hypothesis that caffeine enhances a student’s ability to hit a baseball. Describe your experiment by answering the following questions: 1) What are the independent and dependent variables? The independent variable

To perform the experiment‚ first the calorimeter was filled with 100 mL of water using a graduated cylinder‚ and the temperature of the water was found and recorded. Next‚ the beaker was filled 3/4 full with water and placed on the stand of the ringstand above a gently burning flame from the Bunsen Burner. Then‚ the mass of the test tube and wax was found

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

Using Stoichiometry to Determine Gases Produced in a Reaction Introduction Magnesium is a metal and is the third most commonly used metal by chemists. Some would say it is the least dense structural metal. Its lightness is often alloyed with aluminum. Magnesium is also used in racing car wheels called MAG wheels. Many car-manufacturing companies will use magnesium and aluminum because of the lightness of the metal. Both of these metals are reactive with acids. The most common acid in they

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

The Lab Report Assistant is simply a summary of the experiment’s questions‚ diagrams if needed‚ and data tables that should be addressed in a formal lab report. The intent is to facilitate students’ writing of lab reports by providing this information in an editable file which can be sent to an instructor. Substance Name Mg Cu Zn

crimes occurring when there is police present. These strategies were made to reduce the crimes and make the public feel more safe in the street. The Kansas City Experiment started on October 1972 and continued to 1973 ‚ it was administered by the Kansas City Police Department and evaluated by the Police Foundation. The Kansas City Experiment tested the use of preventive patrol on crime rates and citizens fear of crime. The police foundation divided Kansas into fifteen different areas‚ and those fifteen

Real Number Properties In this assignment we were asked to solve three expressions using the properties of real numbers in order to do so. Each of the real number properties are essential in solving algebraic expressions. Although you may not need to use all of them in the same expression to solve you will need to use at least one. In this paper I will demonstrate the use of the properties and show the steps needed to solve each part of an expression. Understanding the properties of algebra

The effect of varying temperature on thee Rennin enzyme Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to see what affect different temperate had on the reaction rate of the enzyme rennin. The experiment was performed by placing test tubes filled with renin and milk into water bath which was heated or cooled to one of the temperatures trialed. The hypothesis justified because it found because it though data that the enzyme reacted faster with the 45° temperate because it was
