Ie349-Card Sorting Experiment
Lab Report 1- Card Sorting Experiment
Problem:
The purpose of this experiment was to determine the difference (if any) between sorting a standard deck of cards and a low vision deck. Three tests: color, suit, and number sorting were compared. The dependent variables in the experiment included time and the number of trials it took for the student to complete the task successfully. The independent variables were sorting the two different decks by color, suit, and number. Hypothesis:
1. There will be a significant time difference between sorting the standard deck of cards and the low vision cards by suit. The four distinct colors (red, green, blue, and black) will be easier to recognize and sort.
2. There won't be a significant time difference when sorting the standard deck of cards and the low vision deck of cards by color. The association of red and green vs. blue and black (with the low vision cards) is just as easy to decipher as sorting by red and black.
3. When sorting by number, there will be a significant time difference. The low vision cards will cause confusion since they lack the corresponding number of symbols to the card number.
4. There will be a significant difference in the number of trials when sorting the cards by suit. It takes less concentration to sort the cards by four distinct colors, therefore yielding less trial errors using the low vision cards.
5. When sorting the cards by color, there will not be a significant difference in the number of trials between the low vision and standard deck of cards. Again, the association of red and green versus vs. blue and black (with the low vision cards) is just as easy to decipher as sorting by red and black, therefore yielding an equivalent number of trial errors between the two different decks.
6. There will be a significant difference in the number of trials when sorting the cards by number. In comparison to the standard deck, the low vision cards lack the
