Essays on Experiment

Introduction Watson and Rayner (1920) investigated classical conditioning, a behaviorist theory of learning. The researchers conditioned fear into little Albert and showed that fear can be learned. This research was ground-breaking as it demonstrated how phobias can be acquired at a young age. Although Albert...

For this lecture, I arrived a bit late because of the inclement weather. However, I did not miss much since the lecturer began with a revision of where we left off from last session. The lecture continued with us being presented with the approach that...

Abstract The topic of this paper that I want to specifically talk about is Newton’s Second Law of Motion and how his theory would show how the forms of mass, acceleration, and force would all coexists amongst each other whether that be finding the acceleration...

Introduction The mental idea of the Stanford Prison investigation was that Zimbardo and his partners were keen on seeing whether the mercilessness among gatekeepers in America and penitentiaries was because of the twisted characters of the watchmen or had more to do with the jail...

If we refer to criticism we have to take in count that it practice the judging of something or someone. When a new major discover is released or an event of great magnitude occurs it is expected to be criticized in many aspects. We can...

There were many academic experiments performed to try and get an understanding of human nature. The way humans act, and what they do is a very strange thing. Human nature really refers to the patterns of behavior that are typical of our species or our...

Everybody has heard about the soda and mentos science experiment where they drop mentos into different sodas and watch the explosions. This examination is fun and energizing and it has made us ponder about the science behind it. You may imagine that there is some...

Introduction One of the zones with the most extreme conditions to live at for a plant has to be the shoreline. Vegetation that lives there gets flooded up to twice a day for a couple of hours. Not only do they have to be resistant...

Introduction The process of facial memory is crucial in real-life circumstances that it is involved in judiciary and laws. Despite the sophisticated mechanism of memory, inaccuracies can still be resulted by factors such as familiarity, attention, emotion, encoding and retrieval steps. In eyewitness identification task...

Discussion and Explanations Over the duration of this lab our group successfully learned how to use and analyze samples using the Spec 20. These instruments are intuitive to use, however there are also some common errors that can easily be overlooked. Once the Spec 20...

Krishnan et al. seek to determine the relationship between expertise with a particular musical instrument and activity in key regions of the brain, particularly dorsal stream regions related to auditory perception, attention, and sensorimotor activity, when listening to novel pieces of music produced by a...

The BBC article “Gene editing wipes out mosquitoes in the lab” discusses work using a gene editing technique to suppress populations of caged mosquitoes Anopheles gambiae, which transmits malaria. In 2016 were 216 million cases of malaria in 91 countries and 445000 people were killed...

Abstract A study was carried out, testing the effects of self affirmation on hedonic and eudaimonic well-being. Participants consisted of 540 undergraduate students (141 males and 399 females) from the university of Western Sydney, with their ages ranging from 17 to 71 years. Participants were...

This case study is about the explosion of container containing nitric acid. On 2nd December, 2011, a graduate scholar was going to perform an experiment trial requiring the utilization of nitric acid. The students were working with nitric acid for the first time and no...

Modeling a cylinder in water flow was done using methods of dimensional analysis. Looking at the velocity profile of air in a wind tunnel allowed us to find its drag force and drag coefficient. We measured the voltage change with an anemometer that was inserted...

The idea of a “hormone” was not well-received by the scientific community, and it was a difficult concept to portray, as scientists had not been familiar with the idea of chemical messengers influencing the actions of cells in the body. Many scientists, such as Arnold...

In the first experiment, our results supported the hypothesis that T. zuluensis reacts differently on exposure of light. However, it did not grow best in the darkness. The growth of pathogen was significantly different under different volumes of light and dark incubation. The growth under...

Computing is evolving constantly. New principles are discovered; older principles fall out of use. Experiments play an essential role in science. However, the role of experiments in computer science is still unclear. Questions about the relevance of experiments in computer science attracted little attention until...
