Nt1310 Unit 3.1 Lab Report

1103 Words5 Pages

In lab 3.1 we took a look at attentions and how different task require different amounts of attention for certain tasks. When a secondary task is added the participant has not done before or is difficult, it task away attention or “ space” for the primary task. For this lab we wanted to see how our walking would change when our attentional demands changed with the addition different task to perfumer using a tennis ball. In condition one the participant was asked to walk across the room (there and back) for a total of five trials. The examiner recorded how long it took to walk each time. During this condition the participant was not allowed to know their time between trails. After completing all five trails the times were added up and averaged. …show more content…

What I mean by that is, as excepted with an increase in secondary task in condition four my average was the highest meaning it took me the longest because my attentional demands had changed. A result I was not excepting was getting the same average for condition one and three. As stated earlier my trails in condition three were all over the place. It would be interesting to redo condition three and see if my times would still be all over the place or would be different. Also, comparing condition three results with the other students in my class and see if they had a similar experience. If no, t my results could possibly be an out lier if we were to graph and look at the class data as a whole. One factor that could effect results would be the environment. Meaning the other people (students) around you during your trials. If one student was walking extremely fast in comparison to your normal pace you might start to walk faster subconsciously and be influenced by them. Another factor that could influence the results is not throwing the ball properly in condition four and just passing it to the other hand instead. If we were to compare the group data and some students pass the ball instead of throwing it their times would be different then if they threw the ball. This would make it hard to compare condition four results because not every did not execute it the same

    Data Analysis The scientific question that was asked in this experiment was,”What is the best angle to shoot a paintball to achieve the farthest distance possible?” The hypothesis of the experiment was,” If a paintball is shot at a 50 degree angle, than the paintball will travel the farther than any other angle tested.” The independent variable is the angle of degrees the paintball is shot from and the dependent variable is the distance the paintball travels at the different angles it is shot from. The control variables are the brand of paintball gun, the model of the paintball gun, the type of paintballs being shot from the paintball gun, and the tools used to measure the distance the paintball goes.

  • Weight Training Research Essay

    Darvishi, Kordi, Rafiee, and Shirvan (2014) explained that the range of motion (ROM) has a critical role in the performance of movements and that they wanted to investigate the role of related exercise on decreasing the ROM. To evaluate the impact, the performance of overhead throwing was compared between weight training participants (WT) and non-weight training participants (NW). They found out the ROM of internal and external rotation of the shoulder was lower in WT than in NW subjects (P<0.05), and angular displacement of the shoulder and elbow also demonstrated significant differences (P=0.049 & P=0.045) between the two groups of subjects. Another finding was that movement pattern would be negatively influenced in the kinetical

  • 2D: 4D Ratio

    Running speed is found to have the strongest relationship with the digit ratio, compared to other physical tests, such as strength (Manning and Hill 210). Similarly, Ranson, Stratton, and Taylor discovered that boys with smaller digit ratios scored higher on sprints and shuttle runs, but there was no pattern identified with the digit ratio and the standing broad jump (330). This relates to Hill and his colleagues findings that a smaller 2D:4D ratio corresponds to a greater maximum oxygen intake therefore causing the individual to have greater success in sports that require aerobic endurance, as opposed to sports requiring strength (Hill et al.

    Since I had already done background research for drafts of my Criterion A section, I had to set a hypothesis based on the knowledge from the research. The overall hypothesis was that ‘There will be a difference between learning modalities of left-handed and right-handed people because they have different sides developed in the brain.’ Then, I had planned for the experiment specifically, revising it many times with my supervisor, school science teachers, and research. Especially, I went to the science teacher, and got a lot of advices such as setting the specific number of keywords for the criteria of the tests, and time for the each tests. Also, to make sure that there are no features that are advantageous to certain people, I had to choose the test resources that the participants here are not likely to be familiar with.
