Conclusion The purpose of our experiment was to determine if reading off words in various colors helped improve memory. Our hypothesis was that color helped memory and it was in fact proven by our experiments. According to data table 2‚ the average words remembered by the white control group was 6.4‚ while the other groups with the colors had averages of 6.8 and 8.2. Our hypothesis also proven in table 3‚ where the average words remembered by the control was 4.6 and the other two groups had averages

Jacob Stewart Dr. Wells English 101 20 September 2013 In the 1950’s‚ a series of experiments were performed by psychologist Solomon Asch on the effects peer pressure can have on someone that would otherwise be stalwart in their judgment. In the experiment‚ a group of young men were shown a line with three other lines of various lengths next to it‚ and asked to determine which of three lines matched the length of the first line. There was‚ however‚ a catch: all but one of the men were

Twenties embraced a new culture that focused on enjoyment‚ art and innovations. The style of clothing‚ especially for women‚ went completely against that of the previous generation. Many people were offended by and opposed to the new style of the ‘20s which was epitomized by the flapper.4 Women’s clothing‚ which was loose fitting‚ complimented their efforts to make their chests appear flatter.5 Cloche style hats were very popular and were tight around the head before flipping out at the base of the

compensation for participating in this experiment. These participants were divided into six groups based on where they were sitting. Design The Stroop Test was used in order to test the effect of interference on reaction time. This was done by using three different types of slides‚ each with either 20 words or 20 colored boxes‚ and recording how many words participants could read the color of‚ rather than the word itself. The colors used in this experiment were red‚ green‚ blue‚ purple and brown

Examine the problems some sociologists may face when using experiments in their research. (20 marks) (January 2009) MODEL ANSWER Experiments are the preferred scientific method. There are two main types of experiments. The classic scientific experiment takes place in a laboratory in controlled conditions. By contrast field experiments take place in more natural but less controlled experiments. Although experiments are very successful in science they are rarely used in Sociology for the following

Lab 20: Flame Tests Purpose/Objective: The ground state is the normal electron configuration of atoms or ions in an element. When atoms or ions in ground state are heated to a higher temperature‚ some electrons absorb enough energy to move them to higher energy levels. This is known as the excited state. However‚ the excited configuration is unstable‚ and the electrons must return back to their positions in the lower energy level. As they return‚ the energy that was previously absorbed is now emitted

involved when two incompressible substances are mixed together. 12 experiments were performed‚ 10 involving the combination of a measured amount of hot and cold water and 2 involving the combination of ice and liquid water‚ the majority of these experiments were performed three times. The average variance in final temperature for each experiment was less than 10 percent providing proof of repeatability. Equipment used during the experiment included a gram scale‚ thermocouple‚ Styrofoam cup‚ glass beakers

Spirit Burner Experiment Aim: To perform an experiment in the labs to determine the heats of combustion of selected alcohols and then to use this information and the gathered data from chemical data sources to determine trends in the longer chain alcohols. The Variables that MUST be controlled throughout the experiment are: • The height from spirit burner nozzle to the base of the water filled beaker • Air drafts around the room must be kept to minimum so as to keep the heat on the base of the
