From the data that was retrieved in this experiment from beginning to end we can conclude that throughout the ten days of practice of juggling 3 balls we can see that that daily average give slight increase through each day. As you can see in the chart the number of catches change through each column and give a slight increase in number from being mostly ones and twos to going to fours and fives at the near end of the experiment. In the Bar graph displaying the average number of catches in blue bars through the 10 days this experiment was being performed and learned the first bar which is day one is the smallest while the largest bar is day 9 and you are able to see how the bars between those days give a slight increase each day. Day one went …show more content…
I expected this from the beginning as I am not a professional at it and have really never juggled anything before. I feel like the frustration represents the disappointment in me but also at the same time the window of redemption and learning from my mistakes to improve on. In the middle of practice what I felt was more focused than before as in the begging I committed a lot of mistakes and slowly learned from them and at this stage is the stage where I am applying the corrections to those mistakes to successfully perform the routine. I fell like this represents my attention span and coordination to the skill being learned as in this stage I would really try to ignore my environment to just focus in juggling the balls. At the end of practice I felt more confident in juggling the balls as at the near end of the experiment I was able to successfully do more than 1 round as in the beginning it was difficult for me to execute 1 round around with the balls. At this stage I felt more relax but at the same time still had my focus playing a role while I was
Scientist tell people they are doing a test on the effects of punishment on learning, but the real
In 1963, Stanley Milgram conducted an experiment that was one of the most controversial of his time, and of ours. “The subjects—or ‘teachers’—were instructed to administer [electroshocks] to a human ‘learner,’ with the shocks becoming progressively more powerful and painful” (Collins, para. 1, Book Overview). The subjects watched as the “learner” was strapped into a chair. When the experimenter asked if either of the two had a question, the “learner” mentioned he had a heart problem. The “teacher” heard this, as well, and still continued to go through with the experiment. told that they were to read a series of paired words, and “learners”
Procedure: 1) The class will measure the period of oscillation of their balance pans when they are empty. The accepted period will be the average of the class. To find the period, you will measure the amount of time it takes for your balance to complete 20 oscillations. The period (T) will be computed by taking your time and dividing it by 20. This will be recorded as T2.
The Milgram experiment of the 1960s was designed to ascertain why so many Germans decided to support the Nazi cause. It sought to determine if people would be willing to contradict their conscience if they were commanded to do so by someone in authority. This was done with a psychologist commanding a teacher to administer an electric shock to a student each time a question was answered incorrectly. The results of the Milgram experiment help to explain why so many men in Nazi Germany were recruited to support the Nazi cause and serve as a warning against the use of “enhanced interrogation” techniques by the United States government.
After the groups were separated into groups of three or four, we were instructed to perform three trials. In each group each person got to be an experimenter and a subject at least once. First we placed ten pennies into each cup, and let the blindfolded subject feel the cups at equal weight. We then placed a penny into the experiment cup (A) and told the subject to guess which was the heavier cup. If the subject guessed correctly, we would continue to give them the same two cups, in different hands and order, until they had guessed correctly five times. If the subject guessed incorrectly, another penny was added until they could guess right five times in a row. The purpose of the first weight was to get the subject and experimenter accustomed to the nature of the experiment. After the first trial of ten starting pennies, fifteen pennies were used as a starter. After that sixty pennies were used.
One of the experiments on trip was to test how fast the water was moving. Our group stood in nine different locations and did the testing. My hypothesis was if the water is deeper, then the water velocity will be faster. After the group did that, the group collaborated results, giving people the other answers so they can fill in their data sheet. Now the results will vary depending on what group you are in, and it can vary from all of us walking in and around the creek. As you can see on the left is the graph of all the data. The scatter plot indicates that my hypothesis is incorrect because if you look at it as the depth gets deeper, than the speed or velocity of the water goes down.
Success is not given, it is earned. Waking up for a 5am skating practice is nobody’s ideal Wednesday morning, especially for a hormonal teenager like myself. However, satisfaction of landing a new jump or learning a new spin does not come from letting our ‘wants’ buyout our dreams. “By the time we’d finished, we were amazed at how much the book had taught us: about ourselves.” I don’t always succeed, nor do I always expect to. Throughout all the morning practices and late night workouts, failure is something I have learned from. I remember giving up on myself countless times after falling on a jump or not turning my edges properly, as if I had ‘writer's-block,’ feeling completely numb. Nevertheless, succeeding was the easy part, it was learning to grow into the 6 year old singing, confident, child again, and defeating the numbness. I have learned, along the way, people are going to try to undercut your success or take credit for your hard work. However, it is the end product that matters. It will be I who knows how to complete a program, or I who knows how to work hard. Staying focused as the athlete I am, not letting people side track me, builds the confidence to know ‘I finished the
In this chart (3), we can see that "the change of time spending on the
Stanley Milgram is a phychologist and he created this experiement to prove if people were obedient to authority. This experiment became one of the most famous. According to the article ''The Milgram Experiment'' by Saul McLeod he wanted to see if Germans were obedient to authority.The way that they proved how can people can be obedient to authority is not normal for us now this days. The procedure says that the participant was paired with another person and they drew lots to find out who would be the learner and who would go in obeying. Basically Milgram was trying to prove how far people would go in obeying. People should about the Milgram Experiment because it shows how people can be obedient to authority , and how people can follow their conscience.
The Milgram Experiment was biased and had many factors and variations that affected the outcome of his data. His experiment dealt with only male participants and so the data is not really able to represent how female participants would react. The American population is not able to be represented as well because his participants were self-selected. His participants came from a newspaper advertisement, so those who were wealthy and educated had the chance to participate, where those who were not wealthy and could not read, were not able to participate (Saltzman, 2000).
It is said that this small increment nature of the task lead the experiment to have higher rates of obedience because it makes it difficult for the participants to refuse to press on the 95-volt switch after just pressing the 80-volt switch. I found this to be the least convincing reason why high rates of obedience were found in the experiment. I believe this increment style does not play as big of a role as Burger describes it and has the least effect out of the other that of all for the reasons Burger gives. With being in the position that the participants are in, I find it hard to say that the reason they are being obedient to authority is the small increment of voltage in between the switches. The reason I found most convincing to why there were high rates of obedience in the experiment was “Responsibility Not Assigned or Diffused”.
The Milgram Experiment A lesson in depravity, peer pressure, and the power of authority The aftermath of the Holocaust and the events leading up to World War II, the world was stunned with the happenings in Nazi German and their acquired surrounding territories that came out during the Eichmann Trials. Eichmann, a high ranking official of the Nazi Party, was on trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The questions is, "Could it be that Eichmann, and his million accomplices in the Holocaust were just following orders? Could we call them all accomplices?" Stanley Milgram answered the call to this problem by performing a series of studies on the Obedience to Authority.
I now know that failures and constructive criticism are key to moving forward, especially as a dancer. You will never know what you’re doing wrong if you don’t accept your failures and learn from them. At this point in my dance career, I would get highly suspicious if someone doesn’t give me constructive criticism. It’s because I am always looking for ways to improve. I’m no longer afraid of a challenge or competition. In fact, I welcome it. Because of my experiences with failure, it has shaped me to be a better person not just in dance, but in
There is also the potential of human error within this experiment for example finding the meniscus is important to get an accurate amount using the graduated pipettes and burettes. There is a possibility that at one point in the experiment a chemical was measured inaccurately affecting the results. To resolve this, the experiment should have been repeated three times.
How we respond to them decides what happens in the end. It’s better to forgive ourselves than to harshly criticize ourselves when we fail. Because when i stopped playing soccer I thought that I would not be able to go back to it and I stopped thinking about it completely and I lost my self confident and told myself that I am a person that does not know how to finish what they had in mind. But after that I realized that nothing has changed so I decided to get over my bad thoughts and start practicing.
