Experiments

Be a Juror

Task: To imagine that you're part of a jury. I was asked to make a judgement about a case as though i was on the actual jury.

Conclusion: I do not this the suspect could have been proven guilty, based on the evidence given. There is too much coincidence and not enough solid proven fact offered as evidence. I would need to see proof that he earned the money, proof that the ammonia was from his job, and a better eyewitness.

I think this was a test of memory and deduction skills. Maybe? Honestly, i had no idea what this had to do with Psychology.

Word Recognition

Task: Stare at the pulsing +. Then, a word appeared to either the left or the right, and the goal was to remember the word and write it down.
1. Tower- .09 seconds
2. Booth- incorrect
3. Aisle- .09 seconds
4. Debit- .09
5. I blinked. Whoops.
6. Waltz- .09 seconds
7. Mulch- .09 seconds
8. Bulge- Wrong
...etc, etc, etc...

I tried bulge like 5 times, until i realized it was Bugle at .16 seconds.

This could have been a test of my ability to retain information. Or some sort of eye test.
