Leonardos’ conclusion and her overall experiment has some limitations.For example‚ she doesn’t have a hypothesis or a clear independent variable that was supposed to be in her question.According to her chart‚ the densities of the 2 clays are not different by about .2 g/cm3 which means that the kind of clay that she is using might be different which can make the experiment have 2 independent variables (size and the type of clay).This will make the experiment uncontrolled which will not yield any reliable

In order to find out whether race is a factor in memory recall‚ I tested 10 Asian students who are currently taking class in this

An Investigation into External and Internal Features for Facial Recognition Abstract An experiment was conducted to see if we recognise unfamiliar faces better either with just internal features or external features. Research conducted how our human vision system recognises faces and which features we tend to pay more attention to in the first instance. Two slideshows were shown to all participants under the same experimental conditions with 32 images of faces of women for five seconds each
