EXPERIMENT NO. 1
NAME: MARIA CRISTINA B.TAGANA SCORE:
DAY/TIME: S 10:30-7:30 DATE: JUNE 22, 2013

TITLE:
Introduction to experimentation
ABSTRACT:
The Experiment is all about writing the alphabets backward which aimed us to familiarize some of the logic in research; it also serves as our Introduction to Experimentation. In this Experiment, we were ask to use tools like pencil, paper and a timer with second hand to help us to record our achieved scores. We’ve given 5 repeated trials to write the reverse alphabet backward within 30 seconds, after we finish the 5 trials, we computed our achieved scores.
At the end of our Experiment, we concluded that the cause of rising our achieved scores was due to our repeated practice; however, due to some factors that affect the practice, the conclusion was not legitimate.
INTRODUCTION:
Experimental psychology is an area of psychology that utilizes scientific methods to research the mind and behavior. While students are often required to take experimental psychology courses during undergraduate and graduate school, you should really think of this subject as a methodology rather than a singular area within psychology. Many of these techniques are also used by other subfields of psychology to conduct research on everything from childhood development to social issues.
Experimental psychologists work in a wide variety of settings including colleges, universities, research centers, government and private businesses. Some of these professionals may focus on teaching experimental to students, while others conduct research on cognitive processes, animal behavior, neuroscience, personality and many other subject areas.
Those who work in academic settings often teach psychology courses in addition to performing research and publishing their findings in professional journals. Other experimental psychologists work with businesses to discover ways to make employees more
