Anticipatory Performance Lab Report

Before conducting the Activity Series Lab, participants must know how to protect themselves against the possible dangers that the hazardous materials from the lab can cause. Some of the things they must understand include proper safety precautions and how to protect against corrosive or poisonous materials. For instance, Copper (II) Chloride, one of the solutions used in the lab, can cause severe eye irritation. One way to protect against this is by wearing goggles, or other eye protection equipment. Another substance used in the lab is Silver Nitrate, a body tissue irritant. Participants must wash off the substance quickly if it comes into contact with their skin to prevent any serious damage. Not only is it vital to know how to be safe around the chemicals, but to fully understand the lab, participants must be able to recognize the clues to a chemical change.

Robb Osinski and Bob Winskowicz had been friends for twelve years and business partners for five. In the middle of 2002, they felt that they were on the verge of a breakthrough in the commercialization of a new technology that their firm, Performance Indicator, LLC, had developed to let golfers know when a used golf ball had suffered performance degradation due to immersion in water hazards like ponds and creeks on golf courses. Specifically, they held patents on technology that would change the color or appearance of balls when they had been submerged in water for an extended period of time. Osinski and Winskowicz originally believed that selling the idea would be

Based on baseball players’ accounts of bigger and smaller ball size perception when at bat, a 2005 study by Witt and Proffitt attempted to shed light on this phenomenon. Their experiment tested whether higher, or lower, batting performance influenced the perception of ball size. The study was conducted at a softball field with 47 consenting individuals, 37 being males and 10 females. First they were asked to select one of eight black circles, representing softballs, ranging from diameters of 9 cm to 11.8 cm. After their selection, they answered a quick questionnaire asking for the number at times at bat, batting average, age, sex, and team losses and wins. The results showed that players who had a better batting average perceived the ball to

The experiment was to study color and orientation of encoding from different parts of objects. Color feature was altered in 50% of the trials and participants were asked to detect this change. The stimuli presented to each participant in on feature consisted visually a small circle with an oriented bar crossing in the middle of circle, forming a Saturn-like object. Each stimulus was displayed on a gray background and used black oriented bars with the small colored circles using 4 colors. Six display types were utilized: single-feature with 5 color, single-feature with 10 color displays, all contained the 5 and 10 circles with the colors being the main focus of this condition. The next two conditions were; single-feature with 5 orientation and single-feature with 10 orientation displays, however these features are focusing on the orientation of each of the bars that are being displayed. The final two displays are that of the

Paper Critique Assignment 1. There are two independent variables—cue luminance (3 levels: dark, equiluminant, light) and validity (2 levels: valid, invalid). The dependent variable measured was reaction time (RTS) in milliseconds. 2. A possible limitation to the experimental design is that stimuli (cue cards) were only in red with a green background.

The reaction time (RT) of students was measured in the experiment to determine whether light or sound stimulus initiates a quicker response time. The question of whether or not RT was related to movement time (MT) was also challenged. Each student performed two test in random order; one testing the reaction time of a red light stimulus, or visual reaction time (VRT); and the other testing the reaction time of a “beeping” sound stimulus, or auditory reaction time (ART). The student completed the VRT trial by simply receiving the stimulus and pressing a button. The student placing and holding their hand on a button starts the ART trial. Once the student receives the stimulus (beep) they press the adjacent button as fast as they can. The ART trial does not only include the data of the RT, but also the data from the MT. Having previous knowledge that light travels faster than sound; one can predict that VRT is faster than ART. The prediction that MT is independent upon RT can be made with the thought that there are so many opposing variables that could affect the MT of an individual unrelated RT such as old age

In experiment 1, participants were instructed to press a key to determine if the stimulus was red, blue, yellow, or green. On the second half of the experiment, the stimulus appeared in grey with only one colored letter which was positioned randomly. Error rates for the experiment were below 2.5% for each condition, which is quite low. Experiment 2 was the same as experiment 1 except that there were 114 data collections instead of 288 and there were 36 practice trials instead of 72. According to experiment 1 and 2 it is suggested that the effect of

Land (2009) suggests that three executive systems are responsible for visually guided movements, namely gaze, vision and action, and these are overseen by a fourth system labelled the schema system. Figure 2.12 is an illustration a particular model that has been developed to explain visually guided movement in natural environments, so it is relevant to sport.

The goal of this research project will be to see if there is a change in an athlete’s ability to see in their peripheral visional field after participating in strenuous exercise. This will be performed by putting an athletic population through an aerobic high intensity exercise involving running and immediately after testing their individual abilities to see in the peripheral field. These results will be compared to the results of their peripheral vision testing when they were at rest before the test. The athletes will be tested at the max of their abilities, then, 80%, 65%, and 50% of their max ability. This will allow the ability to see if there is a difference in the athlete ability to see in their peripheral field at different levels of physical excretion.

The following research paper details the medical and surgical treatment and nursing care of patients with heart failure and includes information specific to left-sided heart failure.

Overall what the study shows is that as the time between cue and target increases people's performance tends to shift inversely. This is displayed as shorter instances (100ms) found individuals responding faster, relative to when they were longer (500ms) to which individuals would respond slower if they appeared on the same side, with only a minor increase when they appeared on the opposite. Another interesting finding from the study was that trail validity had no statistically significant effect on response times, essentially meaning that how likely a target was to appear had no real effect on how well individuals performed in the study.

Three things were concluded from this experiment. First, picture rotations took longer to perform than letter rotations. Second, there were no sex differences in reaction times for either stimulus presented, and third, there was a linear increase in reaction times as angular disparity of both stimuli sets increased (Desrocher, smith & Taylor, 1995).

The study of interference in serial verbal reactions was coined by J.R Stroop and published as a journal of social psychology in 1935. The investigation focused on the interaction of stimuli and the effects on verbal reactions. The psychologists argued that interference of certain stimuli may affect the ease and convenience in performing verbal tasks. This simply means that interaction between certain counteracting stimuli may affect identification and interpretation of related and sequential verbal expected reactions. The most used concept in the experiment is the color stimuli. The authors exposed some students used as study subjects to certain color stimuli.it were evident that there were some difficulties in reading the colors, especially

Hand-eye coordination is vital to every sport out there. A basketball player has to shoot the ball into the hoop, a football player has to throw the ball to an open receiver, a baseball player has to swing a bat to hit a 95 mile per hour fastball, and golfers have to swing their club and hit a tiny ball a couple hundred yards. It is the number one aspect that is required in all sports. Although it is common to associate sports with many other qualities.
