Instead the best option is to do a quasi-experiment in which a nonequivalent- group design will be used. With the exception of randomization, the non-equivalent group design is very similar to the classical experiment. To reduce threats to internal validity a control group very similar to the experimental group will be closely assigned. The experimental group will be the children…

The Voice behind Animals on Testing In today’s world, we continuously come in contact with problems that can become controversial. One problem that has been predominantly occurring in our nation is Animal Testing or Experimentation. This epidemic has grown drastically over the years and continues to bring about disputes day to day. Familiar house hold items are part taking in this epidemic and the average, everyday person does not realize that by buying these products we are constantly adding…

C2A. Preliminary Results: C2A1. Establishment of fear conditioning protocols to study consolidation and extinction of fear memories: Presented below is published and preliminary data to establish feasibility for the proposed studies; the conditioning and extinction protocols are sensitive to manipulations that enhance or impair fear memory storage and the acquisition and consolidation of extinction. We reported (Zhang et al. 2013) that mice given post-training serotonin 2A receptor agonist TCB-2…

Since the experiment could not ethically commit acts of abuse, interviews and surveys of victims would be the most effective way to gauge whether emotional severity has an impact on the planting or erasing of memories. Another way could involve showing violent scenes…

word, part-2 is to know the color of the symbol. The effect was named after John Ridley Stroop, who published the effect in English in 1935 in an article entitled "Studies of interference in serial verbal reactions" that includes three different experiments.[1] However, the effect was first published in 1929 in Germany, and its roots can be followed back to works of James McKeen Cattell andWilhelm Maximilian Wundt in the nineteenth century.As is true for the cognitive literature in general (cf.…

believe there are alternatives for all animal research or that animal testing is always misleading and unsafe.” (1) These people are correct; animal testing is a very unethical way to do research and it can and should be avoided. I found “Should we experiment on animals? Yes” by Colin Blakemore, online at Telegraph. I disagree with Colin Blakemore’s belief that animal testing is ethical and is an accurate way to do research. Animal testing does not bring accurate results, it is very costly, and…

Many claims of where life originated can be dismissed, such as many religious answers, because they lack scientific evidence. Therefore, this paper will focus solely on theories that are substantiated with evidence. The three most prominent and well supported theories argue that life came to existence inside hydrothermal vents, hydrothermal impact crater-lakes, and terrestrial, anoxic geothermal vents; these theories claim that life originated inside Earth and this notion is well supported. The…

Mystery Black Powder: Living or Non-living? Based on the evidence provided I have to say that the mystery black powder is non-living. This is based upon the fact that we have no proof that it has any of the characteristics of a living thing. All living things have six characteristics, they all have cells, they all use energy, they all grow and develop, they all reproduce, they respond to their environment, and they all adapt to their environment. Based on these characteristics we cannot…

Videogames have been distracting young children from reality for decades while simultaneously allowing them to learn a multitude of skills. A case study which exemplifies these characteristics was conducted on a 4 year old biracial girl who sustained second and third degree burns to her shoulders, neck, chest, forearms, and her left thigh caused by an accidental scald injury (Sil et al, 2012). Yet, she remarkable had no damage towards her face along with no complications with her motor, hearing,…

Introduction Termites, Isotera, are known to react to the exposure of the chemical substance found in ball point pens. Naturally, termites will follow any trail made up of pen ink. This specific observation was tested and carried out by Sim et al. They “investigated how termites select the direction of movement at an artificially-designed branching node, by making chemical trails on filter paper, drawing lines using a ballpoint pen which contained the chemical substance that induces the termite…
