cause-effect relationships between them. The laboratory experiments focus on the description of the connections between the behavior and its causes. These connections can be distinguished only when the experimenter has full control over individual`s behavior. Modern scientific method hypothetico-deductivism, which is the process of making conclusions from the examination of hypotheses. However, Popper said that even if the results of the experiment coincide with the primordial hypothesis, it…

discrepancies in the interpretation even by members within a certain cultural group. Furthermore, it is vital to determine any potential ethical concerns contained within an experiment and address those concerns in order to reduce their potential impact on the results. The first potential ethical concern that may be encountered during our experiment is an experimenter either intentionally or accidentally falsifying, fabricating or misrepresenting the data that is collected from the test…

Animal experimentation has been and still is our main source of scientific research for humans. We have followed this tradition of experimenting on animals for decades, and it has been very useful to us, but at the same time it is cruel and is not 100% accurate. Animal experimentation is way to flawed and risky to put all our trust into it, and with all the dangers and risks that come with experimenting on animals we need to put a stop to it, and find some other way to get the research that…

It is important that the public is informed of the negative effects possible from marijuana use. The researchers did a good job of getting accurate results from all three of their test groups and comparing them to each other. The data from their experiment was accurate due to the researchers putting their test results into formulas and ratios to help get rid of unwanted…

A true experiment, taking place in a natural setting to determine the causal relationship between two things, has many important factors to account for. The experiment administrator must first consider the independent and dependent variables, pre testing and post testing of subjects, and the split between experimental and control groups. These two groups must be equivalent, and the experimental group must be exposed to the treatment, or the independent variable. My true experiment to test…

In this extension experiment there were a few errors that occurred in some of the trials. This is to be expected as perfect sterile techniques are unable to be achieved in the conditions provided. This is also why it was chosen to do three trials of each antiseptic so when errors do occur they can be easily recognised as anomalies. In the Domestos trials the main error was in the second plate where no results could be found for any of the four sections. As can be seen in the photo a small…

determine whether there may be social functions to behavior, often referred to as self-stimulatory, that had commonly been assumed to serve sensory functions. All experiments were conducted with the child and the experimenter in a room next to the child’s classroom. Data was taken by two assistants behind a one-way mirror. In the first experiment, there were three conditions: 1. a baseline condition in which the children did five minutes each of a match-to-sample task and a receptive-labeling…

depraved experiments by developing and testing pharmaceuticals and treatment methods for injuries and illnesses. Many of the people he performed experiments on were Jews and twins. Most of them were tested against their will. He and other doctors performed many experiments, such as the malaria experiments, mustard gas experiments, pharmaceutical testing, spotted fever (typhus) experiments, sulfanilamide experiments, and experiments with poisons. When Mengele performed the malaria experiments, he…

not have been further from the truth. Twenty-five of the 40 men continued the experiment to the very end, even after listening to the learner’s shouts of protest, agonized screaming, and, ultimately, ominous silence…

demonstrating how adrenaline affects our body when humans are scared. “Where can we go to setup a safe experiment that will give us some conclusive data?” Dan asked. “How about we investigate that creepy, old, rickety, abandoned house down the street?” he replied with an evil grin. “No way I am setting one foot onto that property,” Dan replied without looking. “But it’s a perfect setting to set up an experiment. You are already scared,” Russell responded. “Fine, but you have to manage all of…
