Description

Lab in Cognition and Memory Dr. Cameron, Fall 2021 Coglab Results Assignment Your Name: Maha Haroon Instructions: Login to your Coglab account and complete each of the labs listed below (there are 9 of them). Pay attention to the Coglab instructions and explanation of results. Answer the same questions for each lab. You will turn in this document on Blackboard for grading. You’ll want to pay particular attention to your own lab because you will be presenting it to the class and writing a short lab report about it. Please consider what statistical analysis would make the most sense for your lab (we’ll discuss this in class). If you have questions, reach out to Dr. Cameron or Allison.

Lab #1: Simon Effect Presenters: Carolyn and Bayan Identify the DV(s): The response time between the appearance of the square and the key pressed Is/are the DV(s) nominal ordinal interval or ratio? It is a ratio Identify the IV(s): the location of the square Identify the conditions of the IV(s): 1: the location of the square can be on the right side, or the location of the square can be on the left side Show your results here (you can copy and paste your data):

Write a 2-3 sentence description of your results here: The purpose of this lab was to accurately press on the keys on where the square was. The square could be on the right side or the left side. In this lab, we were supposed to see that on the congruent side, the response time was faster. Based on my results, you can see that my incongruent side had a much higher response time then my congruent side, which is different from what the results should’ve interpret. This could be justified since I’ve taken this lab in PSCH 352, I have a general idea on what the lab is going to be about. I can also try to justify the fact that I am more aware on my opposite side, then my right side.

Lab #2: Stroop Effect Presenters: Guopeng and Ryan Identify the DV(s): the response time between the appearance of the stimulus and how it was responded Is/are the DV(s) nominal ordinal interval or ratio? It will be a ratio Identify the IV(s): the word name and font color were either the same or different Identify the conditions of the IV(s): show the word name (RED, GREEN, or BLUE) that was printed in either red, green, or blue font color. Show your results here (you can copy and paste your data):

Write a 2-3 sentence description of your results here: In this lab, the word name and the font color were shown; they were either the same, or different. In this lab, it was recorded on the response time on how quickly the colors were identified. In this lab, the response time should’ve been higher when the font and the word of the colors were same. Based on my results, it is different, and my response time for the difference between the font and the word color were higher. This can be justified by the number of times I took this lab, ( in previous classes), therefore, I am well aware with the differences, but not as aware in the similarity

Lab #3: Spatial Cuing Presenters: TBD Identify the DV(s): the response time between the appearance of the target and your response. Is/are the DV(s) nominal ordinal interval or ratio? This will be a ratio Identify the IV(s):the type of cue used Identify the conditions of the IV(s): The cue could be without an arrow, with an arrow that pointed where the target appeared), or an invalid arrow that points to the opposite of the target appeared. Show your results here (you can copy and paste your data):

Write a 2-3 sentence description of your results here: In this lab, the cue indicated if the target was coming on the congruent side, the opposite side, or there was no cue at all. The response time on when the target was spotted was recorded in this lab. Based on this lab, there should be a faster time response when the target appeared on the congruent side of the cue. Based on my results, you can see that I was tied between the two. Therefore, my response time on when the target was on the congruent side of the cue or the opposite side of the cue, was in the same range, therefore giving me a neutral range between the two. This could be due to the fact that I’ve taken this experiment before, therefore I have a slight advantage on how to quickly response the target.

Lab #4: Change Detection Presenters: Jyle and Vanessa Identify the DV(s): proportion correct judgments and response time. Is/are the DV(s) nominal ordinal interval or ratio? This will be an interval/ratio Identify the IV(s): t hefli ck erandnofli ck ercondi t i ons,and whet hert hepi ct ur eswer et hes ame orchanged.

Identify the conditions of the IV(s): the two pictures differed in some way (ex: an object disappeared from one image). For each of the two pictures, either the pictures appeared immediately one after the other (no flicker condition), or a blank gray box appeared in between the pictures (flicker condition). Show your results here (you can copy and paste your data):

Write a 2-3 sentence description of your results here: In this lab, the response time should’ve been slower when the flicker was used and there was no gray field between the two photos. Based on my results, we can see that the results predicted where in contact with what I have. Based on my RT (ms), as well as my proportion correct, you can see that the photos with the flicker had a slower RT than those without the filter. Therefore, the purpose of this experiment and the results predicted were in line with what I have,

Lab #5: Memory Span Presenters: Brandon and John Identify the DV(s): the length of the last list you correctly recalled. Is/are the DV(s) nominal ordinal interval or ratio? Ratio Identify the IV(s): type of material you were asked to recall Identify the conditions of the IV(s): the different materials that were to recall were: digits, letters, or words. Show your results here (you can copy and paste your data):

Write a 2-3 sentence description of your results here In this lab, the experiment tested the memory span based on three items: digits, letters, or words. This experiment didn’t have a predicted result, rather it gives you a look into what the estimate memory span there is between the three items. Based off of my results, It is clearly shown that my memory span with digits is much larger than the other two items. With this result, I find this accurate, since I am more of an arithmetic person, and enjoy numbers. Therefore, the memory span between digits is much higher than letters or words

Lab #6: False Memory Presenters: Laura and Abdalla Identify the DV(s): the percentage of each type of item reported. Is/are the DV(s) nominal ordinal interval or ratio? ratio Identify the IV(s): the type of word presented at test: Identify the conditions of the IV(s): the type of words presented on this test were: original list item, unrelated distractor not on list, and related distractor not on list Show your results here (you can copy and paste your data):

Write a 2-3 sentence description of your results here: In this experiment, False memory was tested based off of the types of word presented in a list. Based on this experiment, the results should indicate that the lure ( the items that were not presented in the list) should’ve been often reported. Based off of my results, we can see that I didn’t report the lure often, rather, I was able to successfully recall the original item list. I was able to do this mostly because I did the experiment in the previous classes, therefore I had a sense on what was going on

Lab #7: Lexical Decision Presenters: Marian and Izabel Identify the DV(s): the time to respond correctly to the second item. Is/are the DV(s) nominal ordinal interval or ratio? ratio Identify the IV(s): the first word was related to the second word Identify the conditions of the IV(s): word followed by a nonword; nonword followed by a word; nonword followed by a nonword Show your results here (you can copy and paste your data):

Write a 2-3 sentence description of your results here: In this experiment, the response time to see if the 2nd word related to the first word was measured. In this experiment, the response time of the words that were associated should’ve been faster than the nonwords. Based on my results, It was the compete opposite. My response time to the nonwords were much higher than the associated words. I feel like this had a higher RT because the nonwords, to me, were easier to identify, therefore I can quickly response.

Lab #8: Risky Decisions

Presenters: Jennifer and Maseena Identify the DV(s): the proportion of times you selected the gamble option for each type of trial. Is/are the DV(s) nominal ordinal interval or ratio? Interval Identify the IV(s): whether the trial gave a guaranteed gain or loss, whether the guaranteed amount was large or small, and whether the odds on the wheel were more risky or less risky. Identify the conditions of the IV(s): One trial was presented as being riskier, and the second type of trial was presented as being less risky Show your results here (you can copy and paste your data):

Write a 2-3 sentence description of your results here: In this experiment, the risk condition was determined by three different criteria’s: trial gave a guaranteed gain or loss, whether the guaranteed amount was large or small, and whether the odds on the wheel were more risky or less risky. In this experiment, there is no right answer to the riskiness, rather a self-report on how one approaches a risky or a less risky game. Based on my results, you can see that when the trial has a large loss, but was a less risky game, I was more determined to risk my money on it. Same thing goes for a small loss in a less risky game. If we look at the risky game, I was risking a small loss and a large loss.

Lab #9: Serial Position

Presenters: TBD Identify the DV(s): the proportion of times each letter was recalled. Is/are the DV(s) nominal ordinal interval or ratio? ratio Identify the IV(s): serial position of the item Identify the conditions of the IV(s): you could click on the buttons in any order you liked, but it is the way how you recall the time ( the first few letters, the last few letters. Or the middle letters) Show your results here (you can copy and paste your data):

Write a 2-3 sentence description of your results here: In this experiment, the proportion times on how one recalls an item ( in a free-hand order), was measured. Based on my results, you can see that its not a linear line, therefore the way I recall an item on a list can be determined. For instance, in the first trial, you can see I only got 0.6 of the proportion correct, and in trial 6 & 9 I was able to get all of them correct.

Lab #10: Levels of Processing Presenters: TBD

Identify the DV(s): proportion of times the word was correctly recognized as being in Phase I Is/are the DV(s) nominal ordinal interval or ratio? interval Identify the IV(s): the level of processing induced by the orienting task Identify the conditions of the IV(s): The orienting task was categorized by: hallow (the letters task), medium (the rhyme task), and deep (the semantic task) Show your results here (you can copy and paste your data):

Write a 2-3 sentence description of your results here: In this experiment, the encoding test was administered, and then the proportion of the times the item in phase I were recovered. Based on my results, you can see that my encoding process between the phases were highly raised. I believe this happened due to the fact that I took this experiment in previous classes, therefore I have a sight advantage as to what words will come up, and what words aren’t....
