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

The Milgram experiment The Milgram experiment came about by a Yale University psychologist by the name of Stanley Milgram. The experiment was to test how well the study participants were and the willingness of study participants to obey an authority figure who instructed them to perform acts that conflicted with what they thought was right. He concluded people obey either out of fear or out of a desire to appear cooperative even when acting against their own better judgment and desires. Stanley

conclusions‚ which were derived from his experiments‚ proved that obedience is one of the basic elements in the structure of social life. The proximately of the victim‚ responsibility for the actions‚ and perceived legitimate authority figures will greatly determine how far an individual will go to fully comply. Obedience‚ which is one of many social influences in our life’s‚ results in a change in behavior when a direct command is given by a high authority. The main focus in Milgram’s experiment was to

priming is defined as an implicit memory effect in which exposure to stimulus influences the near term future thoughts and action‚ even though they may not seem to be connected (Kennard). It also increases the speed at which the second related item is recognized. Priming has a limited effect as the thoughts dwindles back to the deeper subconscious. Typically‚

UTAR FHSC1134 Inorganic Chemistry Trimester 3 Experiment 1 ________________________________________________________________________ Title: Investigating the Properties of Period 3 Oxides Aim: To examine the oxides of Period 3 elements and describe their structure and bonding. Introduction: Generally‚ there are oxides of metals and non-metals. Metals burn in oxygen to form basic oxides while non-metals form acidic oxides. Structurally‚ they are covalent or ionic compounds. You are to

The effect of alcohol concentration on the cell membrane Abstract: In this experiment I found out that as the concentration of the alcohol was increased so did the colour intensity of the solution. This is because the higher concentration of ethanol‚ results in more damage done to the cell membrane‚ resulting in leakage of red pigment from the cell. If the membrane is damaged more‚ more red pigment will leak out of the membrane and into the ethanol. Hypothesis: The higher the concentration

Stanley Milgram: ’electric shock’ experiments (1963) - also showed the power of the situation in influencing behaviour. 65% of people could be easily induced into giving a stranger an electric shock of 450V (enough to kill someone). 100% of people could be influenced into giving a 275V shock. The Milgram Experiment Stanley Milgram (1963) Experiment: Focusing on the conflict between obedience to authority and personal conscience. Investigate: Whether Germans were particularly obedient to authority

EXPERIMENT 201: WORK‚ ENERGY AND POWER John Michael A. Ramos‚ Phy11l/A5 Abstract The essential conditions to be satisfied for work to be done are: Some force must act on the object. The point of application of force must move in the direction of force. W = F x s. SI unit of work is joule. Energy is the capacity to do work. The two types of mechanical energy are kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion. Potential energy is

conducting our own survey or experiment. In a survey‚ we do not exercise any control over the factors when we collect information. For example‚ if we want to collect data on the money various families spent last month on clothes‚ we will ask each of the families included in the survey how much it spent last month on clothes. Then we will record this information. A survey may be a census or a sample survey. (i) Census A census includes every member of the population of interest‚ which is called the target
