The key differences between experimental, pre-experimental, and quasi-experimental design are that an experimental design is the random assignment of participants/subjects to groups with a control group and an […]
Loraine,
I too pondered as to what was causing Dr. P’s impairment, however, I believe whether his case was one in a million, that it would be beneficial to learn more about his condition and look into what […]
I was both intrigued and amazed with the story of Dr. P, his condition was unlike any other that I had ever read about and the fact that he was unaware of his condition was probably the most heart breaking thing […]
I fully agree with both your hypotheses and reasoning for them. When you talk about noise and how stimuli clash this can be described as the brain having to use inhibition to properly respond to the task at hand.
I hypothesized that the response time for the hard Stroop test would be significantly slower than the response time for the easy Stroop test. I also hypothesized that having noise would significantly slow down […]
George,
I agree entirely with the advantages that you listed for a within subjects design, the reduction or error and the reduction of costs, I just wanted to point out that the SQ also called for […]
there are several advantages in conducting a within-subjects design experiment, some of which include the fact that there is less error since you are testing the same group several times. Another being the fact […]
Emily,

I agree with your definition of science since it is true that anything and everything that happens everyday can be analyzed via the scientific method to acquire knowledge. I do however, believe that […]
I believe that science is the understanding of everything around us in logical and numerical terms. Being able to answer the questions “why” and “how” for certain phenomena that we observe in the world around us. […]
