The differences in the dependent variable can be attributed to the differences in the […]

I agree with your idea that his case shouldn’t be labeled as “tragic.” Although Dr. P. had the inability to recognize and interpret visual information, I do not think he was all that bothered by it. […]

I found it really interesting how Dr. P. saw faces when no faces were present, as well was able to describe items with such detail. For example, […]

My second hypothesis is that hearing an annoying noise will negatively affect response time on the Stroop task.

I have similar hypotheses. I was also surprised by my results because I did better by one tenth of a second in Condition C (hard Stroop and no noise) when compared to Condition D (hard Stroop and noise).

This is also one of my hypotheses. I was surprised when the Pearson correlation found no significance between conscientiousness and location choice/time management. I agree with your reasoning that no […]

I think this hypothesis will be proven true because c […]

You really clearly explained the advantages of within-subjects design! I really like the scenario you came up with. That sounds like a really good way to use a within-subjects design.

Less participants are required to participate in a study that uses a within-subjects design which decreases error variance and therefore provides […]

I really liked the definitions that you gave for studying and assignments. I agree with your response to questions #7 and #14. How often a student takes notes or participates, is dependent on the class […]

Planning ahead can mean that you devote time in your schedule to complete the assignment or it can mean you sit down and outline your assignment multiple days in advance.

This article was really interesting to me because especially in today’s age, people from 8-80 are using cell phones and a study like this is more prevalent today than it was 10 years ago. I agree with you […]

I agree with your idea that scientific discoveries and inquires began as the pursuit of knowledge, however, I think that scientific research “for the greater good” can still be heinous in nature. […]
