i got chosen for fourth grade's student of the month.and all my grades are A's:happy: :happy:

I forgot about the age gaps here. I'm a 12th grader. :tongue:

Hmm. I'm taking a college-level Psychology class, and I have to do an experiment. Meaning, I have to take 20-40 people and make them my guinea pigs. :crackup:

I'm going to do something along the lines of having 3 different groups of people memorize a passage, then take a test on what they read. Each group will be listening to a different type of music. Group 1 will be classical music, Group 2 will be rock, and Group 3 will be generic/ambient/something like that. The point is to see if certain music will affect your memory...

I got a near perfect score (495/500) on a treatise I had to write for my English Lit class. I'm no straight-A student, but English is 'my thing'. :cool:

Hmmmm....try to expand your pool as much as you can handle. I think you should personally sit out of all examinations and do a double blind (meaning the guy whom you get to use as the "experimenter" wouldn't know about this experiment's details). I suggest an even split, and Group 3 with no music, and have that as your control. Also note the potential differences in short-term memory, since you have such a small pool...

Oh crap, it's about that stupid memory strategies thing again, isn't it? o_O

Oh, and yeah I love research. :)

Oh, I was planning on not telling all of my subjects (as they are properly called :p) the exact details of what they're to do, but I was also specifically warned by my teacher not to be completely deceitful. Ethical reasons...bah.

And no music for one group sounds like a good idea. I didn't consider that for some reason. :oops: It would be much better data to present against the results of the groups who did listen to music.

We're pretty much free to do whatever on the experiment (as long as we don't mentally/physically harm our subjects or be completely dishonest on the experiment matter), but the people we choose have to be chosen at random, otherwise the experiment is considered to be biased.

Thank you for the ideas, I'll be taking those into consideration. <3
