Day 1 My groups' experiment is seeing if there is any direct correlation between the personality and traits of individuals that see 1 image first in a figure ground illusion. On our first day we did all of our student handout sheets. These sheets had our division of labor, hypothesis, study research, and experimental designs on them. Day 2 My group worked on our project outline and went through the different research papers we found on our topic so we could get an idea of what to do with our experiment. Day 3 My group finished all our student handouts and started discussing what questions we are going to ask people on our survey. We then decided on 10 questions we are going to ask people such as age, gender, and favorite type of music. Day 4 We started figuring out what we are going to write up on our poster and what images we are going to use. We started to brainstorm a summary of our experiment to put on our poster and making our survey form. Day 5  We

11/12/18 Today in class, we worked on fully understanding our experiment & figuring out how we will run it. In summary, our experiment tests whether or not personal preference affects choices one makes. We are planning on testing that using M&M's. We are going to have each person pick as many M&M's as they can in a certain amount of time, & then we are going to ask their favorite M&M color. After counting how many of that color was picked, we will be able to see if their favorite M&M color had an impact on which M&M's they choose, & then will be able to tell if preferences bias our choices. 11/13/18 Today, we worked on our student handouts - picking a hypothesis, & beginning our research. At first, we found it hard to find other psychology studies to base our research on. But after looking deeper into the topics, we found studies that are not closely related to our planned experiment, but have different aspects that are related. We

The Battle of Creativity

Day 1- Our experiment is the "candle problem". We've been assigning roles and completing our write ups. This experiment tests functional fixedness, which is a cognitive bias that limits a person to use object only in the way it's traditionally used. Day 2- We've decided that this experiment should be an individual experiment. We want the volunteer to use their creativity without influence from an audience. Participants will be chosen randomly for our experiment. We are also evaluating which gender is more creative. Day 3- Our group has figured out our dependent, independent, and constant variables. The dependent variable is if functional fixedness is present while solving the puzzle. The independent variable is the gender of the participant. The constant variables are the same materials and same setup for every trial. We have also started conducting our background research. Day 4- We are recording the materials we need for our experiment, which include
