Abstract The aim of my research was to study automatic processes by replicating the previously carried out Stroop effect. The participants‚ 20 Richmond College students (10 boys and 10 girls) chosen by an opportunistic sample were taken into a quiet room separately‚ were presented with 6 lists of words‚ out of which 3 were congruent and the other 3 incongruent and the time taken for each participant to name the colour that the words were written in was measured and recorded.

Investigating Stroop effect using coloured-associated words and neutral words in experiment Abstract The interaction between automatic and controlled processes was examined in ‘two-process theory’. Previous research has investigated the downside of the automatic processes which is illustrated in Stroop effect. It was found that automatic process of reading have interfered with the task of naming the colour of the ink in Stroop condition. Current experiment examined this interaction further

a lower rate of reaction (Chem4Kids 1). Although temperature and concentration are the two big factors‚ there are still many other things can change the rate of reaction among molecules. Pressure‚ specifically for gasses‚ has an effect on reaction rate due to its effect on volume. Volume and pressure are inversely proportional; as volume decreases‚ pressure increases. Consequently‚ when volume is decreased and pressure is increased‚ the space where the molecules can move around is cut down which

will: Try to find if you can taste instead of smelling switch it around try new things. Title Topic: Investigate the influence of smell on taste. What is your control group: Smell; Taste. What do you want to see happen (Independent Variable): Effect of smell on taste. What are you doing differently (Dependent Variable): Smelling instead of tasting. Hypothesis I believe: I can investigate the influence of smell on taste. I believe this because: 1) You can smell things and imagine

Background Research I’m doing my science project on which food wrapping will prevent freezer burn the best aluminum foil‚ plastic bags‚ or freezer paper. This experiment seemed interesting to me because a lot of people get freezer burn on their foods. My mother also gets freezer burn on her foods a lot and she always tries different food wrappings but none of them seem to work. This project will benefit people from getting freezer burn on their food‚ and so they will know which wrapping

The Doppler effect Design Variables Research Problem In our experiment‚ we will be testing the validity of the Doppler effect. The Doppler effect states that a change in frequency of a wave will occur for an observer that moves relative to the wave. This is seen in our everyday life‚ for example‚ when the siren of a police car or fire truck passes you‚ you are experiencing the Doppler effect. Key Variables Independent Variable: Original position of moving object (sound maker and

The Sugar Act The Sugar Act was not really new legislation by the time British Parliament passed it in 1764‚ but mere an extension of the 1733 Molasses Act. The Molasses Act placed an import tax of 6 pence per gallon of molasses and a 5 shilling tax per hundred pounds of sugar not produced in the British West Indies. Colonists generally ignored the Molasses Act and intimidated tax officials or smuggled the contraband into the colonies. The Molasses

RESEARCH: Hydroponics is a subset of hydroculture and is a way of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions‚ using just water. Researchers discovered in the 18th century that plants absorb mineral nutrients as inorganic ions in water. Normally soil is thought to be required for plant growth‚ but in actuality‚ soil is not needed at all. When the mineral nutrients in the soil dissolve in water‚ plant roots have the ability to absorb them. When the required mineral nutrients are introduced

On a daily basis‚ humans are surrounded by noise and unable to avoid its ubiquitous presence. This poses a major problem for teenage garage bands‚ whose parental units do not approve of ear piercing feedback and novice percussionists. Although there is no guaranteed solution to the cacophony‚ sound absorbing material acts as a “noise blanket” to reduce sound to a more tolerable level. The objective of our experiment is to determine if sound absorption by foam and related materials changes with the

Hypothesis If different age groups are placed in a room for several minutes‚ then the older they are the more time they will think has passed by because time perception is affected by age. Purpose The purpose of this project is to find out if time perception changes with age. Materials ● 3 people ( 1 8 yr. old‚ 1 33 yr. old‚ 1 57 yr.old) ● empty room ● stop watch Procedure Gather a group of subjects‚ ages 8 to 57. Simply tell the people you are conducting an
