This showing the need to replicate on some level the theory of evaluative conditioning as seen by Chen, et al (2012) cited in (Brace, 2010) Chen et al, (2012) and the DE100 project share some differences this being that in the DE100 experiment involves less images than in the Chen et al. 's study (2012) and the images will be shown for less time this being three seconds each, instead of using the original five seconds. This is because it can reduce the potential effects of people loosing interest and will help reduce the time it takes to conduct the experiment. Where as the Chen et al, (2012) cited in (Brace, 2010) experiment shows the images being presented within a four minute slide with overall 20 images shown this will show a break of three seconds this overall experiment takes four minutes with the images being shown five…
What is the purpose of saying numbers aloud on half of the trials in this demonstration? The purpose of saying the numbers aloud on half of the trials in this demonstration is to see the limit of our the STM storage capacity when two tasks are combined. Being able to repeat back a display of numbers and words combination versus words alone. 3. Did you show the phonological similarity effect?…
A recent observational study have reported the stone gathering and throwing chimpanzee in zoo suggest humans are not the only ones who can plan for future. In Osvath’s (2010) study, they observed repeated episodes of male chimpanzee named Santino, making piles of stone and picking up a stone and chuck it toward the crowd, causing it to disperse. They found that Santino plans ahead for how he will react to the visitors’ approach to his compound, and that is inconsistent with interpretations that he cached the stones for some other reason and then just happened to have them at hand when he got mad (Osvath, 2010). By hiding the stones and then trying to deceive zoo visitors into thinking that his intentions were peaceful, Osvath (2010)…
In the experiments, one naïve subject and the other members who are instructed by the experimenter beforehand are to compare two white cards, choose the same length line and speak out their choice: One card contains a single vertical black line that was a standard line and the other card has three variously lengthened vertical lines one of which was the same length of a standard line. Asch observes the reactions of the one naïve subject while instructed…
I found this topic interesting because teachers are usually against chewing gum in the classroom and saying that it is distracting. My goal for this experiment is to prove that chewing gum helps with concentration and to get teachers to allow kids to chew gum during tests and quizzes. All of the research I was able to obtain completely supports my hypothesis. Each of my sources suggest that chewing gum makes a difference. Chewing gum is good for the brain and can boost alertness by 10%.…
The results I got for this experiment was that the amount of trigrams remembered in the control was higher than the experimental. The reason for this was that the experimental group waited 15 seconds before writing the trigrams, and the control group didn’t which affected a lower result for the experimental group showed in the graph. There is also a decrease between the experimental and control median by two points. The study used to attempt to replicate was the experiment conducted by Lloyd R.Peterson and Margaret Jean Peterson in September, 1959. The experiment was conducted to investigate if there is short-term retention of individual by using verbal items after each short intervals.…
– Main Issue: The use Proactive Inhibition shows that Short-Term Memory and Long-Term Memory are not as different as once believed. – Author’s Goal: The author wanted to isolate components within the primary memory and secondary memory to decipher if either were susceptible to Proactive Inhibition. – Hypotheses: If there were more than seven obstacles then the recall is believed to be from the secondary memory, but if less than seven obstacles recall would be from the primary memory.…

One is auditory where you listen carefully to instructions that are given to you. The other is visual. I study by writing things down and rewriting so I visualize what I am writing and can write it from memory. These both can be beneficial because if I write what I hear and keep writing then I am studying and am learning at the same time. I will know what it is I needed to know for a test or a paper.…
In conclusion, we found out that males in our class has better hearing abilities, because according to the graph, the trendline of males is higher than female, which means that the boys can hear the tones in further distance for most of the frequencies. For female, when the frequency is 8000 hz, the average distance is 11.65m, and for males, the average distance is 14.5. When the frequency is 12000 hz, the distance for female is 3.22m, and for male, the average distance is 7.93m. As you can see, the distance for male is clearly further than female. Other than that, we also found out that the frequency that most people can hear the best is 2000 hz, the average distance for male and female for this frequency is 14.67m, this is the highest distance…
A Vivid Memory Imagine this. Roaring crowds, speakers blasting, wailing guitar solos. Hold on, Let's back up, we aren’t at there yet. By there I mean the Imagine Dragons concert. Travel back to June 2017 when Halle, Allie, and I are in Lake Powell.…
Introduction Sleep is an important component for maintaining, sustaining, and optimizing academic performance. Different lifestyle needs fluctuate the amount of sleep between individuals and often led them to attain inadequate sleep. Sufficient sleep has been linked to the enhancement of emotional and social function, whereas insufficient sleep reduces cognitive function and negatively affects academic readiness (Deuster & Yarnell, 2016). Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles have collected data on performances based on sleep patterns on participants through a series of tests known as the Computer Memory Interference Test (CMIT).…
As a child in elementary school my favorite time of the day was recess and lunchtime, like any other child in my fourth grade class. I remember learning how to tell time just so I could tell when I was about to be called for bus riders. At lunch my friends would mix their food together and dare each other to eat it, getting all of us at the table in trouble at lunch by Mrs. Cothrin, my fourth grade teacher. My favorite challenge on the playground would be the monkey bars. I liked the monkey bars because you had to hold on to them to get across to the other side without falling.…
Memory is the name given to the process of storing and retrieving information. We would be unable to learn without it. Memory helps to process different variations of information, such as pictures or sounds. It allows us to recall what has happened in our past, and lets us make predictions about future events and consequences of actions. Memory is an individual behaviour by which we retain information about events that have happened in the past.…
Music plays an important role in people’s daily life. Previous studies suggest that music positively affects people’s cognitive performance especially working memory. Many college students read, do homework or prepare for exams while listening to music. Background music is an important environmental factor in our learning context that may have impact on our attention span and later recall of information. However, whether background music serves as a distractor or enhancer on memory remain an open question.…
