Hypothesis

The use of stimuli in both experiments allowed for an accurate and credible depiction of brain activity in the subjects. The researchers directly addressed the hypothesis by locating the activation in the MT-MST complex below the calcarine fissure and there is little to no indication in my mind that the results found could be due to an alternative explanation. A possible follow-up study to this experiment would be…

Fastest Reaction Time Problem or Question: Who has the fastest reaction time in our group? Hypothesis: If Maasilan, Tanveer and I are tested, I think I will have the fastest reaction time. This is because I have the biggest hands in the group, which makes it easier for me to grab the meter stick. I also have good reactions because I play lots of sports that involve catching or throwing. I also have good concentration and focus which helps so that when the person drops the stick, I know when to…

Method Participants 290 people (84 men 206 women) Ages 18-85 were are asked to complete an online survey. There were 27 black, 23 Hispanic, 213 white, and 23 that identified as other or more than one race. Materials In this study the script (see appendix A) was used as well. It’s asking that the subject participate in the study by filling out the survey. The script also states that the researcher will not be able to see the results, how long the study will take and if they decide not to…

For our observation, we decided to examine the organization and social structures of the University of West Florida Commons area. We made the prediction that the organization in the building would be very relaxed. We based this hypothesis on the idea that the Commons are one of the few places on campus where there is not a specific objective as compared to the classrooms or the library. For our observation, we split the commons into three main areas and assigned two people to each area. This way…

introspection and learn more about themselves in the process, as their daily activities were interrupted so that they could accurately fill out the survey they were given at various intervals throughout the day. Throughout all four studies, the study’s hypothesis was correct each time, demonstrating that even though positivity reduced symptoms of depression in the beginning, in the long run, the symptoms increased and the participants were more likely to develop depression if they experienced…

Procedure We downloaded a game called “Flappy Bird” onto our cellular devices in order to perform the experiment. Our professor randomly selected 4 participants at a time to participate in our experiment. Each group of 4 participants performed the experiment in a group setting that ran approximately 5 minutes for each group, a total of 20 minutes all together. There were a total of 4 groups in our experiment; 2 groups were the experimental groups and the other 2 were the control groups. We…

encounters in Acheta domesticus? Experiment 2: Are there different ways to obtain quantitative behavioral data from crickets? Null Hypothesis: Experiment 1: There are not different behavioral patterns present during social encounters in Acheta domesticus. Experiment 2: There is no way to obtain quantitative behavioral data from crickets. Alternate Hypothesis: Experiment 1: There are different behavioral patterns present during social encounters in Acheta domesticus. Experiment 2: There…

position, likely future job performance, and etc. (Ackerman et al., 2010). The last task participants were asked to do was to answer on a scale of 1-7 how important was it for them to evaluate correctly. The results of the experiment agreed with the hypothesis in certain aspects. Results showed that participants using the heavy clipboards rated the candidate as better overall and had a more serious interest in the position (Ackerman et al., 2010). Also, participants with a heavier clipboard…

system was created. One of these hypotheses is the Nebular that was formulated by Pierre-Simon de Laplace in 1796. Many years later, in the 1900s, the Protoplanet hypothesis was proposed by Carl von Weizsäcker and Gerard Kuiper. Forest Moulton and Thomas Chamberlin proposed the Planetesimal hypothesis in 1905. The Nebular hypothesis starts with an interstellar gas cloud spinning slowly. The cloud began to cool and this caused it to shrink into a compact sphere. The sphere increased the…

Specific Aims / Statement of Hypotheses Aim 1: To determine the effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on health related quality of life (HRQoL) in adolescents with and without chronic illnesses. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that ACEs, as a precipitating factor, will decrease the quality of life in adolescents regardless of having a chronic illness or not. However, we suspect that there will be a differential effect between the two groups as we expect the presence of ACEs will exacerbate…
