Experiment

smoke on the larval development of Vanessa cardui, commonly known as the Painted Lady. The hypothesis for this experiment was, “if tobacco smoke has a negative effect on the development of Vanessa cardui larvae, then, larvae exposed to tobacco smoke for 15,10, or 5 minutes will display reduced length (cm) compared to control larvae receiving 0 minutes exposure”. To start the experiment, the condiment cups for each experimental trial were placed around each of the three candle holders. Then the 5…

priming presents when interrupted by visual and auditory simulations/masks, in order to prove that the priming effects is contingent to intuition/knowledge. Two experiments were conducted; each consisted of twenty-four students from Lyon 2 University in France, who were all right-handed and had normal/corrected vision. The first experiment focused on visual priming, which consisted of six practice trials and six experimental trials. Each student was instructed to quickly respond/answer which…

information about the study, and effects. Most would refuse these treatments if they knew what was at risk. It is illegal and unethical to do these experiments without the patient knowing the treatment and effect, but yet the government was funding theses experiments. Let's take a look at the most popular experiments from the past. Prison experiments are unethical because they go against the 3 main rules of ethics Autonomy, Beneficence, and Justice. Autonomy: Individuals who are imprisoned have…

I will conduct a research to answer this question. I will first make a correlational study and then, a true experiment. Those research methods among others in psychology will help me determine any correlational or cause and effect relationship between eating breakfast and doing better in school. Hypothesis: Eating breakfast really help student improving their academic performance. Correlational Study In a correlational research, we observe without manipulating two or more naturally occurring…

Holocaust. There were many experiments but, twin experiments were most common. These experiments took the lives of many in addition to the pain the victims were put through including, physical, mental, and emotional. Many of these tests were just out of curiosity. The experiments by Josef Mengele were very brutal and gruesome and often lead to horrible outcomes. The experiments started in May 1943.(Walker) Auschwitz was then chosen as the location for the experiments because of a large…

After testing the D. magna with alcohol, the results showed a negative effect on the D. magna. After recording the normal heart rate in beats per minute (bpm) before the experiment, alcohol was applied to four different D. magna for each percentage of alcohol. The three concentrations of alcohol used were 5%, 10%, and 20%. Once the differences in heart rate were recorded for each of the D. magna, the averages of the four differences in heart rate for each concentration of alcohol were calculated…

Termites and Scientific Experiment Termites are insects that live mostly in wooden area and dead trees. They get fed by wood and cellulose. They leave their colonies in the search of food following pheromones, to mark a trail The termite food hunting process is similar to following an ink line because the termites are attracted to the ink. This scientific experiment will demonstrate termite’s behavior and also how they communicate to each other. The purpose of this experiment is to test to what…

medical experiment findings. Nazi leaders instructed the doctors to perform sickening, gruesome, and terrifying experiments on the inmates of the concentration camps all throughout Europe. These unlawful experiments led the German medical community to gain vast amounts of knowledge regarding the physical limits of the human body under severe circumstances. According to Joel Dimsdale, author and Professor at the University of California, “these observations [gathered from the Nazi experiments]…

The hypothesis for Experiment A was that each bacterium that was observed in this experiment possesses different characteristics, such as, different sizes, color, shapes, and even purposes. The reasons for this hypothesis is because, as the bacterium were being observed, it was recorded how one is uniquely different than the other. Each structure allows the bacterium to carry out different functions. However, some bacteria may occur more than once, or have a trait in common relating to another…

In the beginning of the experiment, there were 18 participants. The participants were college students at the College of Wooster. The 18 participants were also enrolled in a 300 level Psychology course, Learning and Behaviour, where this experiment took place. One participant’s results were thrown out because she joined the experimenter in the third and final trial. At the end of all three trails, only 17 participant’s results were collected. The materials used were pencil, or pen, three data…
