EXP #2

kekekekeke~ i have finally decided.....on the "determe if motion, associated with roller coaster riding, and emotion, such as anxiety and stress, affect short-term memory" experiment.
this would be interestinggg ~hmm... i still need to determine the amount of people i need for this...and the venue...since im going overseas soon, and its cheaper there, i should get like my extended family and cousins to do this ~~ohohohohohohoho
okaayy so independent variable- selection of words/numbers/picture (still deciding) remains constant
dependent variable- the amount of correct answers each person will remember
hypothesis(do i need this?!)- the participants' average scores would likely be negatively impacted by the motion and emotion associated
with the roller coaster.

each participant will need to take the test beforehand though...to be able to compare with the results after the ride,,so im thinking about 20-40 people? or is that too much?

things i need for the experiment -->stopwatches, recording sheet and a collection of the same material for the participants to memorise.

ahhhhhh this is gonna be fun~~~~~~keke

NEW FINDINGS;3

ahhh found great ideas on memories....
- manipulation of memories
-plant false memories into the brains of
unsuspected individuals, through creative methods, like the process of suggestive questioning.
-difference of memory between introverts and extroverts
-if suggestion can distort a person's memory of a picture (called the suggestibility effect)
-determine if motion, associated with roller coaster riding, and emotion, such as anxiety and stress, affect short-term memory (i like this >w<) -determine whether people who wear eyeglasses are perceived by others to be more intelligent than people who do not wear glasses. hmm...still not sure~~ omgahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh jst realised this things due in less than 7 hours..... >x<

IDEASSS★

kekeke~~blogging is more tiring than i thought o(╥﹏╥)o"...ehehh finally i found an exp after 3 hrs (つ ̄3)
psychologyy sounds smart so i was like..hmmm...human reaction~~
it might be a bit simple so im still looking for more nerdy experiments...add oil!! 加油!! lmao

nwaiis tadaaaaaa~~~~~~

Purpose

To measure and record reaction time to a variety of activities
Materials and Equipment
Stopwatch or watch with second handPencil, paper, ruler
Method
  • Work with a partner for the activity. Each person needs to make a recording sheet.
  • On a sheet of paper, draw a square 12 cm by 12 cm. Draw 12 boxes inside the square. Mark these boxes in the middle with the numbers from 1 - 12 but do not put them in order!
  • Get ready to start timing your partner. Don't let your partner see the sheet before you start the experiment.
  • Your partner places index finger on square marked #1 and touches each square in numerical order.
  • Record the time. Then do the activity again but this time, have your partner touch the squares in reverse order. Record the time again. Do this several times and see what happens to your time.
  • Reverse the roles and record the results.
  • Do the activity or 2 or 3 days in a row to see if your reaction time improves.
  • Make up your own activity and challenge your partner. Compare the results using non-standard symbols or the letters of the alphabet. Devise a different system which is faster than numbers.
  • Create a series of graphs and charts to show the improvements by class members over time. Observations/Results
  • Record your results in your Scientific Journal.
    Scale
  • 10 seconds slow
  • 9 seconds average
  • 7 seconds very good
  • 5 seconds excellent

***** thats right....i need humans for this experiment.......ohohohohohohohohohoh who wants to be my victim?..(ε(#) kekekekeke~~~
