Design of a Psychological Experiment Psyc 100 (0110-0129) Fall‚ 1996 Dr. Sternheim Report #1 (10 points) Problem: Suppose you are a psychologist who is interested in the effects of caffeine on the eye-hand coordination of students enrolled at UMCP. Design an experiment to test the hypothesis that caffeine enhances a student’s ability to hit a baseball. Describe your experiment by answering the following questions: 1) What are the independent and dependent variables? The independent variable

Griffith’s experiment‚ reported in 1928 by Frederick Griffith‚[1] was one of the first experiments suggesting that bacteria are capable of transferring genetic information through a process known as transformation.[2][3] Griffith used two strains of pneumococcus (Streptococcus pneumoniae) bacteria which infect mice – a type III-S (smooth)

into a petri-dish and the cylinder removed and blotted with filter paper‚ throwing the liquid away from the petri-dish after each cylinder was removed. 7) The length and texture of each potato cylinder was recorded in a table. Discussion: In the experiment‚ I believe the phenomenon to take place is osmosis. Osmosis is the movement/diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high concentration of water molecules (high water potential) to an area of a low concentration

Introduction The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is a fast growing plant and is used commonly in experiments due to its easy testability. It can grow in a variety of conditions and is easy to see the effects of different treatments. The idea of the treatment that we applied to our bean plants came from our class and scientific papers that help back our experiment. Examining many studies on the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on a variety of plants helped us better understand what the fertilizer was

The hypothesis was rejected in this experiment‚ based on the results. The results were much different than hypothesized before the experiment. It was hypothesized that the lower concentrations of CLR‚ Jar E and Jar D‚ would be healthier and more likely to reproduce than the higher concentrations of CLR‚ Jar B and C. However‚ as shown in the actual results‚ Jar E and D with the lower concentrations of CLR died quicker than Jar B and C. The CLR and water solutions acted as a fertilizer‚ so the greater

If one goes out before we wake up‚ we will get two more of the same type of battery and watch it during the day. Variables Our variable is the different brand of batteries. The controlled condition is the same type of flashlights. Results Our experiment showed that Rayovac outlasted all of the other batteries we tested by at more than two hours. The Eveready battery‚ which is a regular‚ non-alkaline battery‚ lasted only 6 hours and 35 minutes. The Duracell lasted 15 hours. The Energizer lasted

choosing the pain of discipline over the ease of distraction. And that’s exactly what delayed gratification is all about” I think that is very true. Delayed gratification is just waiting for something better. If a kid doesn’t pass the marshmallow experiment parents start to wonder what they should do. Mischel states he would remind the parents that there are a large number of cognitive skills that can be used and practiced if kids have a serious self-control problem. At one point Mischel used poker

SUMMARY The aim is to observe distillation process of ethanol-water solution and to measure the alcohol content after process in this experiment. 500 ml of solution with an alcohol content of 32% (v/v) is used for this experiment. Temperature values are recorded for every 10 ml alcohol obtained in the flask. The process is repeated in our experiment and for the first process‚ the data collection process continues until the distillate reaches to 200 ml. The concentration of alcohol is measured for
