Thought experiment

multiple challenging contexts with different incentive values. Researchers also want to know if the incentive value of goals can play an important role in influencing the behavioral regulation of 109 exuberant pre-schoolers in China. Through several experiments they found that exuberant children tend to be more persistent on a goal-blocked task. This result stimulated researcher’s curiosity that why exuberant children is so well regulated under goals with high incentive values? 3. Hypothesis…

taste better (Gray, 2012, p.659). Three experiments all of which used a experimental groups, were taken place to determine three different aspects can contribute to answer the questions if whether intentions can contribute to pain while physical experience can also be sensitive to positive intentions (Gray, 2012, p. 659). Each experiment had different details the experimenters were testing, all coming together to produce a bigger picture. The first experiment dealt with electric shocks that were…

conduct multiple experiments to identify microorganisms. Many of these experiments can be used on all different types of microorganisms but cumulatively they can help isolate a singular microorganism’s identity. At the beginning of the semester we were divided into several groups and were assigned an unknown of which we were tasked with identifying. Being assigned number 14 as our unknown, my group consisting of Chijindu Eke, Austin Dicus and myself conducted these experiments over the course…

subject of whether the experiments done by Night Doctors, though horrific and unjust, had made a big or important enough impact on the movement of medical research to somewhat justify their actions. Treatment from the notorious Night Doctors ruined and wounded more…

subjects, and focuses on medical experimenting the most because there can be great risks in this category. Belgium recognizes that human experimentation is very beneficial to society, as animal testing and other methods cannot equate to a human experiment. With new medicines and even cosmetic products, these would all eventually be experimented once on the open market, because they were made for humans to use. If these products went out on the open market without initial human testing, millions…

in-lab experiments, we can better examine how plausible the hypothesis of last place aversion is in real life. Similar to most experiments in a lab setting, the experimenters emphasized on the “randomness” of the subject and the treatment. This is an important qualifier for an internally valid experiment because random assignment helps to “distribute the idiosyncratic characteristics of participants over the treatment levels so that they do not selectively bias the outcome of the experiment”…

*95% of animals used for experiments are not protected by the Animal Welfare Act, the only act governing animal testing. Laws protecting animals need to include test animals used for experiments and these laws should be more strongly enforced. In order to minimize the number of animals used for testing and make sure they are not mistreated, the laws need to make it harder for researchers to use animals, making alternatives more appealing. Many people would agree that animal testing is morally…

Bed bugs have similar engorgement characterizes as many other bugs when it comes to the sodium solution concentrations. When offered only water versus when a solution that contained phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), the later was what was found to be the situation where more engorgement occurred. It was expressed that mouthparts that bring about the acceptance of different concentrations of sodium chloride are receptors known as gustatory receptions. In the instances lower sodium was engorged…

Prison Experiment because both the guards and the prisoners got aggressive during the experiment. The prisoners show agression and rebellion after the second day by using clothes to lock their doors and make it difficult for the guards to open them and get into the cells. The idea of self-concept was lost from the prisoners and the guards since after only a few days in the jail they had forgotten who they were before being prisoners or guards. The roles that they had to play for this experiment…

all continued to 300 volts. Milgram concluded that people are more likely to obey authority figures especially if their authority seems right and legal. A big issue however with Milgram’s study is that of deception and the participants genuinely thought they were administering electric shocks and this may have caused them some distress and guilt.…
