An experiment into the interference between automatic and controlled processing: A variation of the Stroop effect. Abstract The effects of completing a task which requires the use of both automatic and controlled processes was investigated through a two-process experiment designed around a variation of the Stroop effect. Previous research found that‚ when performing certain tasks‚ response time is longer when an automatic process conflicts with a controlled process‚ in this instance reading interferes

Abstract The aim of my research was to study automatic processes by replicating the previously carried out Stroop effect. The participants‚ 20 Richmond College students (10 boys and 10 girls) chosen by an opportunistic sample were taken into a quiet room separately‚ were presented with 6 lists of words‚ out of which 3 were congruent and the other 3 incongruent and the time taken for each participant to name the colour that the words were written in was measured and recorded. From

Design IA Research Question How Does Increasing the Intensity of Exercise Affect Respiratory Rate? Hypothesis My experiment will involve sprinting which is a very demanding and fatiguing sport. In order to increase the intensity of it‚ I will be increasing the weight the subject has to carry as he sprints. My hypothesis is that as you increase the weight‚ the respiratory rate will also increase. At rest‚ the average breathing rate for adults is 12-24 breaths per minute and for new born babies

Investigating Stroop effect using coloured-associated words and neutral words in experiment Abstract The interaction between automatic and controlled processes was examined in ‘two-process theory’. Previous research has investigated the downside of the automatic processes which is illustrated in Stroop effect. It was found that automatic process of reading have interfered with the task of naming the colour of the ink in Stroop condition. Current experiment examined this interaction further

Investigation 4.2: Factors Affecting Viscosity Question How does changing the temperature (°C) of glycerin affect the viscosity s -1 of glycerin (l)‚ when tested by dropping a marble from a constant height into the glycerin (l) and timed with a stopwatch until the marble hits the bottom? Design Independent Variable: The independent variable of this experiment is the temperature (°C) of the glycerin (l). Dependent Variable: The dependent variable of this experiment is the viscosity s -1 of the glycerin

Discussion In 1935‚ John Ridley Stroop first performed his original experiments on the stroop effect. It was this type of research that inspired others and prompted them to conduct research of their own in this area of study‚ and that is exactly what was done for this laboratory experiment as well. The overall hypotheses for this experiment were‚ as expected‚ conclusive with the results‚ however‚ there was a discrepancy in the hypothesis of experiment two. The comprehensive hypotheses for this experiment

Determining the equilibrium constant from pH values of changing concentrations of ethanoic acid Design Research question: How will altering the concentrations of ethanoic acid affect the pH value‚ and‚ in-turn‚ the equilibrium constant? Background information: When weak acids react‚ the reaction typically does not go to completion. Rather‚ the system goes to an intermediate state in which the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal. Such a system is said to be in chemical equilibrium

Lacsap’s Fractions The aim if this IA is to investigate Lacsap’s Fractions and to come up with a general statement for finding the terms. When I noticed that Lacsap was Pascal spelt backwards I decided to look for a connection with Pascal’s triangle. Pascal’s triangle is used to show the numbers of ‘n’ choose ‘r’(nCr). The row number represents the value of ‘and the column number represents the ‘r’ value. Eg. Row 3‚ colomn 2 = 3C2 =

Biology Enzymes IA Design Introduction: Enzymes are globular proteins‚ they are responsible for most of the chemical activities of a living organism. They act as catalysts‚ substances that affects the reaction of other substances without being destroyed or altered during the process. They are extremely efficient in the body system of living organisms‚ one enzyme may catalyse over a thousand chemical reactions every second. But there are certain conditions that need to be fulfilled in order for the
