Reaction time Research Paper - Cover Page - Abstract - Introduction: Give definition of Reaction time, History of reaction time and this type of experiment, Development, Current Literature, State Hypothesis.  - Methods Participants Age: between 21-32 Gender: Male and females College Students: Half had prior knowledgeable, Half came from subject pool and were given credit for participation - Materials Programs: what programs were used? [login to view URL] Design: within-subject design Independent (3 tasks) & dependent (students) Describe independent visual trials: 20 of each which key tasks in random order stimuli presentation varied between 1-2 seconds to prevent anticipating responses Program Instructions Tasks/Procedures How it happen/how experiment was conducted Refer to instructions set (include reference to instruction set in Materials (^^) as well - Results What data is (reaction time) Give units (seconds) Auto collection by program, place into spread sheet Statistical analysis performed in SPSS present means, standard deviation for each conditions which was faster/slower? Describe figure showing condition vs reaction show which was faster/slower Present results of T-test paired sample t-test (define, which type) one or two tailed (if two tailed, don't report, it is assumed) List comparison S/C reaction time yielded [t-value, DF, p-value, significance] S/g/ng reaction time yielded [t-value, DF, p-value, significance] g/ng/C reaction time yielded [t-value, DF, p-value, significance] - Discussion Restate hypothesis and whether or not it was supported Simple will be faster than Choice; Simple will be faster than Go/No Go Explain basis or evidence that allowed you to support or reject What were the main conclusions, why support or reject? Cite past literature, abnormal findings (skewdness of sample size), cite that friedman's test was done- allowed us to see significance in our results, more sprecifically, S/C, S/g/Ng cite that with outliers, results were all non-significant. Removing the outlier allowed the effect to emerge. Effect size between g/ng and choice is much smaller due to additional processing time (check out line 27- 2 secs was in sample-> person must have been distracted. No other outlier was removed. Sample size increase would fix outlier problem. Possible explanation for no-significance of g/ng and choice confusion (subjects stopped and asked questions no attention – lost focus/attention Instructions may not been clear next step- examine instructions set and directions state that the means were double that of the literature what could be reason fatigue, overwhelmed by amount of trials - References - Figure - Appendix
