Coriolis effect

Directed attention is a mechanism used by humans every day to manage their thoughts by inhibiting a stimuli in order to say or do something else; this tendency is also known as the Stroop effect. To test the effects of the Stroop task we conducted an experiment to examine if words on silhouettes have an effect on the reaction time of verbalizing the names of the animals on a silhouette sheet. We hypothesized that reaction time would be higher in the no label condition than the incongruent label…

INTRODUCTION The bystander effect became really popular after the tragic event of Kitty Genovese, which happened in 1964, one of the most infamous examples of this social behaviour to this day. This particular case has raised many questions in psychologists studying social phenomenon. A lot of them were not really aware of this social effect and they wanted to know more about it since it turned out to be a problematic issue with Miss. Genovese. “[B]ystander behaviour is well established in the…

In every good story, you always have your hero or main character who tries to achieve his or her goal, but the villain or antagonist has some reason to stop them from achieving it. Finally, a bystander is always watching this conflict go down and has nothing to say about it and just goes on with their life because they don’t have to worry about it. In the books: Romeo and Juliet, And Then There Were None, and To Kill a Mockingbird, the characters in their respected books all show the theme of…

Poof! With one flick of her wand, the fairy godmother turned Cindy into a gorgeous girl with a beautiful blue dress and two crystal slippers. At this moment, Cindy was on top of the world, but would magic proceed to something good happening? Or would Cindy have a rude awakening to reality? What meets the eye in the remade version by Disney is merely a mask that hides the real gore and bitterness of the original “Cinderella,” leaving out details to preserve the happiness of children around the…

what had happened to them. This was very difficult for them to overcome and some never mentally recovered (Goldhill 2). Some of the victims had to deal with the long term physical effects of the medical experiments. “Many Mengele twins suffered incurable mysterious diseases” and many never recovered and suffered the effects of the Holocaust for the rest of their lives (Caplan 6). Some victims developed cancer and other diseases that were caused by all the injections and all the experiments…

In the workbook, there are two columns, one on the left is the symbols and other one on the right is the numbers. To experience the Stroop effect, I have to count the numbers of symbols/numbers that are there in the workbook. My personal experience with the Stroop task wasn’t so difficult but the one on the right one made me respond slower than I did with the one on the left. I would say the reason I was slower when I performed the right column because my mind would atomically read first instead…

The article, “37 Who saw murder didn't call the police” by Martin Gansberg talks about a 28-year old woman,Catherine Genovese who was stabbed to death in Kew Gardens, Queens in the view of 37 people who saw the murder occurring. The appalling part about this article is that no one tried to report it at the moment. She screamed her lungs out for help, but not a single person tried to call the cops and just one witness communicated the police after the woman was dead. The occurrence of the…

you are there, that you 're doing this thing, that you 're with the person, that you 've had this thought, that you have some urgent opinion on what 's trending- second nature" (Silverman, 47). Citizens are taking so many pictures it is starting to effect our memory. In the same article posted on psychologytoday.com, Linda Henkel at Fairfield University Leda research project were students were told to photograph a few objects from an art museum and to also observe a few. After a memory test,…

into the pond (go home) at a time, multiple rocks are thrown in at the same time, constantly. This causes the ripple effect to spread faster because more and more children are or have been child soldiers. If the children who are the future are instilled with the ideas, images, and principles of war than it will be passed down from generation to generation; creating a ripple effect of people who live in a world where war is the only thing you know, live, and die for. Who wants to live in a…

enhance the film. As the engineers of sound technology had set out to improve their equipment, filmmakers had set out to improve the visual and narrative dynamism. Filmmaker began to set out to improve the editing of films, camera movement, special effects and other photographic qualities of the images being presented. When comparing the film technology of the 30’s to the 2000’s you would notice a dramatic yet brilliant change in the way technology has evolved. As the stories were running in…
