Running Head: Time Cost‚ Task-Switching‚ Repeating Tasks Task Switching Cost’s Time Brooklyn College City University of New York Abstract A replication of Task Switching Monsell 2003 experiment was done‚ which predicts a time cost when switching tasks. 18 participants had to complete 100 randomized trials‚ switching between task-repeat and task-switching trials. Reaction Times (RT) were recorded and reflected by experimenters‚ to determine that there is a time cost involved when

An investigation into the effects of varying seawater concentrations on two marine invertebrates’ osmoregulatory abilities; Carcinus maenas and Arenicola marina. Introduction The concentration of solutes in the bodily fluids of most marine invertebrates is roughly isosmotic to their environment (Raven‚ 2008). Because there is no osmotic gradient there is no tendency for the net diffusion of water away from the animal’s cells to occur. When a change in salinity occurs some organisms have the ability

processed in three categories: shoe size‚ height‚ gender. Descriptive statistics was applied to three separate data sets‚ one with all participants included‚ one sets with just female participants‚ and one with just male participants. Then a two sample t-test was conducted with the assumption that there were unequal variances amongst both male and female data sets. Results There is a normal distribution of the data with ranges in size from size 5 to size 14 amongst the participants. With these ranges

DIFFERENCES IN SUN AND SHADE LEAVES OF AVOCADO TREES BY PHENOTYPIC PLASTICITY INTRODUCTION: Phenotypic plasticity‚ or differing phenotypes from one genotype in different environmental conditions‚ is a way for sessile organisms to adapt to changing environmental conditions (Valladares et al.‚ 2007). Plasticity was expected to be abundant‚ however‚ it did not occur as often in nature due to resource limitations and environmental stress (Valladares et al.‚ 2007). An experiment by Matos tested

considering the three indicators‚ palatability‚ taste‚ and texture‚ had the highest computed AWM among the three treatments. Thus‚ T1 is claimed as highly acceptable. The two-population means‚ which were the independent samples‚ were subjected to t-test at 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that there is a significant difference in the level of acceptability of the Squash Ice cream and the commercial ice cream in terms of palatability‚ taste and texture. The following were the conclusions
