in the story and outcome. --------------------------------------------- Nicole is a co-founder of SciMentors, an organization that brings science curriculum and experiments to existing GED programs around Minneapolis. She started the program in 2014. When it began, she and her cofounder design the curriculum and science experiments for a 2 hour weekly course at Open Door Learning Center, a GED school that focuses on refugees and…
Most people would agree that harming an animal is a cruel act to commit. Others believe that animal testing should be allowed because new human and animal related cures have been discovered by conducting the experiments. Some may think that since we are humans and animals are not, we have higher authority over the animals. Some people have protested, started movements and other organizations to try and stop animal experimenting. These innocent creatures are being tortured daily so we must step…
The experiment discussed in this article set out to determine if conditions of high anxiety, increased sexual attraction. They hypothesized that males who come across an attractive female while experiencing a strong emotion such as fear will find the female more attractive than by males not experiencing a strong emotion, which is also the alternative hypothesis. The independent variable is a strong emotion such as fear. This was operationalized by participants being on an unsteady bridge that…
negative advertising causes individuals to vote against the political candidate attacked in an advertisement, an experiment could be performed to test that theory. In designing an experiment to test this theory, my research question would be “Does negative advertising cause individuals to vote against the political candidate attacked in the advertisement?” The hypothesis of the experiment would be “Negative advertising effectively causes individuals to vote against the political candidate…
Discussion The results from the experiment demonstrate that respiratory frequency was higher and increased faster as exercise intensity increased in caffeinated individuals. The correlation between the independent (intensity of work rate) and dependent (respiratory frequency) variables for both the caffeinated and non-caffeinated groups was fairly good (R2 > 0.35) so there is some evidence that caffeine causes an increase in respiratory frequency. Tidal volume and alveolar ventilation were…
Introduction Does American military presence abroad lead to an increase in anti-american sentiment? This paper will discuss this theory and propose an experimental research design to test it in the real world. Substantive Significance The substantive importance of this question lies in its relevance to the making of American foreign policy. While the United States remains the world’s preeminent power, international relations are becoming increasingly multipolar. The United States must work in…
They have requested our assistance in evaluating several materials through experiments and simulations. The purpose of this experiment is to test these various materials and to recommend a material choice and cross section geometry that will minimize deflection of the arm supports. The following sections of this memorandum will detail several facets of the experiment. Section 2 will present the results of the experiment in an objective manner and detail any observations recorded. Section 3 will…
Thesis In this experiment the sensory processes that will be analyzed are the balance process, and its impact on the balance of school-age cerebral palsy children, in order to create a new mechanism to aid the. This study is socially relevant, because it helps parents to manipulate balance mechanisms, in order to aid their children to use other mechanisms to move around their environment. For instance, this would allow children who suffer from cerebral palsy to have a similar experience as the…
MacLeod and Kevin Dunbar (1988) conducted a research study which aimed to test the idea of automaticity as a consequence of training. The Training and Stroop-Like Interference: Evidence for Continuum of Automaticity experiment was conducted in a laboratory. Participants received a certain amount of shape-naming training; in the first condition, two hours; in the second condition, five hours; in the third condition, twenty hours. In the first two conditions, color-naming…
witnessing a major event may affect the memory that develops after it. With her hypothesis, she suggests how wording to a question can affect a person’s answer to it. An example to back it up was reported by Harris in 1973. His volunteers were told the experiment was a study of accuracy of guessing correct measurements. After, they were asked questions like “How tall is the basketball player?” or “How short is the basketball player?” The questions do not insinuate anything over the height.…
