Describe the physiological approach to the study of the mind. Explain how Donders experiment can be repeated in a modern laboratory using the physiological approach to the study of the mind Donder’s work attempts to describe the processes going on in the mind‚ by analyzing cognitive activity into separate stages. Until Donder’s work‚ many scientists had assumed that the mental operations involved in responding to a stimulus occurred instantaneously. Donder was particularly interested in "timing

The Twin Experiments was conducted by Josef Mengele‚ during World War 2 in Auschwitz. Dr. Mengle was a medical researcher who was fascinated with twins in specific. From the three thousand children that would be pulled from the masses of people upon arriving only about 200 survived. Age didn’t matter‚ yet most were children‚ and if they were really young their mother would be allowed to stay with them. The twins recieved "special" treatmeant as they were allowed to keep their hair and clothes. A

EXPERIMENT 7: PERCENTAGE OF OXYGEN IN KClO3 Introduction: In this experiment you will determine the percentage of oxygen in potassium chlorate. You will calculate the theoretical value from the chemical formula and compare your experimental value to the theoretical value. Background: When potassium chlorate (KClO3) is heated‚ it undergoes chemical decomposition. Oxygen gas (O2) is given off and potassium chloride (KCl) remains as the residue. The equation for the decomposition of potassium

to determine the solubility constant of calcium hydroxide. But‚ there are few limitations in solubility constant concept‚ like the Diverse Ion effect and the Common ion effect. Sources of error probably were the assumptions made throughout the experiment and can be explained further by the limitations of the solubility constant. ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- Introduction In a reaction where a slightly soluble ionic solid

Popcorn Experiment Experiment performed on 8/26/11 Biology 101 Introduction: “The oldest popcorn ever found was discovered in the “Bat Cave” of central New Mexico. Archaeologists found 80‚000-year-old corn pollen below Mexico City”. “The popcorn was thougt to be about 5‚600 years old”. (www.factmonster.com/spot/popcorn1.html) This particular pollen is almost identical to today’s popcorn pollen. Researchers came up with the theory that popcorn could have been a Stone Age snack for “cave

EXPERIMENT 3: ISENTROPIC EXPANSION PROCESS Objective In order to demonstrate the isentropic expansion process. Introduction Isentropic means no change in entropy. Entropy is a thermodynamic property that is the measure of a system’s thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work. In simple terms‚ the measure of the level of disorder in a closed but changing system‚ a system in which energy can only be transferred in one direction from an ordered state to a disordered

Experiment 5: Shifting Equilibrium A solution is in equilibrium when the rate of forward reaction and the rate of reverse reaction are equal. This equilibrium may be disturbed when the concentration of the reactants‚ the concentration of the products or the temperature is changed. If the process involves gases‚ a change in pressure can also affect the position of equilibrium. The concept behind this is Le Chatelier ’s Principle which states that when a system is disturbed through application
