November 12th: Our experiment is the marshmallow effect. Instead of marshmallows, we are using cookies (because teenagers are being experimented), to demonstrate the temptation that will occur when being told they cannot eat the object. Within the past 3 days, Charlotte and I have been completing the student handouts. We still have the 13th and 15th to do.

November 13th: We finished all of the handouts that were due, but mainly focused on the 13th. We found different psych studies of our experiment with different objects.

November 14th: We finished 16 and 17 today and started working on the 18th, 19th, and 20th. These will help us organize our experiment and make sure we have all the objects needed.

(17 was a survey and 20 was the materials list)

November 15th: We are working on the rough draft today for the essay. Other than the rough draft, we are caught up on all of the handouts and are ready to start creating our poster board tomorrow.
SH 18

November 16th: We started our poster board.

November 19th: The rough draft is completed. We planned out all the items we needed and who will bring what. However, we did not continue working on our poster board.


November 20th: I was not there to complete this, but Charlotte made the sheet that we will put our data on for the psych fair.
Survey

November 27th: Our poster board has been finished. We will go set up our poster board after school and bring the items we need along with it.


November 28th: Today is the psych fair. We have gotten 90 people so far, and are trying to aim for around 200. Many people wait for the reward after the minute and 30 seconds, but some are tempted and eat the cookie half way through or right at the start.

At the end of the day, we finished off with 137 testers. Not everyone was hungry or liked Oreos, so we did not reach our goal.



November 29th: We worked on our Psychology Fair responses/statistics.
Stats

November 30th: We finished our statistics and will begin to work on our final draft on Monday.

    Could you give us a little history on what the marshmallow effect is? What are student handouts 13-15?

The Dark Room-- Duffy, Zatar, Dawud, Imanlihen

11/12/18 For our project, our group has decided to study fear. We wanted to know how the body reacts to fear and why, as well as what makes us afraid of certain things. We have decided to create a dark room for people to enter and then inhibit a few of their main senses in order to see how a person reacts when they cannot control their surroundings. After, we will be asking those who have gone through our "dark room" questions about how they felt during the entire process as well as after it. In order to measure the body's response, we will be taking the person's blood pressure before the experiment and right after as well. 11/13/18 Today, we all worked together as a group in order to finish all of our student handouts. We were missing a group member so it did require us to work harder, but we almost finished. The goal is to get everything done by 6 and then I will be able to submit it before 10! 11/14/18 Today our group took a break from completing the ass...

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 ...
