Greetings.
This essay is supposed to be theoretical part of a report to a simple research in Experimental Psychology class. The whole work is about people’s ability to recall pictures. Participants were shown a sequence of 20 pictures. After that they were asked to recall them. There were two categories (independent variables) we looked for: level of education (high school and college) and time of day (morning and night). Our analysis showed that level of education didn’t affect ability to recall pictures. On the other hand, time of day when the test was performed affected the number of pictures recalled.
This particular “essay” is just the theory behind people’s memory performance depending on their level of education and time of day when such performance takes place. It must be based on previous studies and scientific works. It would be better if you could find works that used pictures as stimuli to remember; however, it is not a must.
At least 3 sources should be used with this essay.

Midterm Lab Report Instructions

Conduct the experiment in Midterm Lab Manual. Fill out questions in the lab manual to guide your experiment and organize your results and conclusions. Take pictures of your experiment prior to beginning once you have all of your equipment set up, in the middle of the experiment and at the end of the experiment.
For each lab , Create a Student Information Card to be pictured in each photo with:
    the name of the lab
    the date you are performing the lab
    your full name and signature

This card should be the approximate size of half of an 8×10 piece of paper, so that all information is clearly visible in your photo. This card should be displayed in each of the lab specific photos. If you do not include this card, you will receive 0 points on the lab report.
Record your detailed observations and results throughout the experiment. Once you have conducted the experiment and completed the Lab Report, write a 3 page lab report in essay format (MLA) summarizing the experiment, results and conclusions. See below for the grading rubric.
    Minimum length of 3 pages of text, double-spaced, not including pictures and figures. 20 points.
    Lab Report must include the following sections (separated by bold headers corresponding to those below). 5 points.
    Introduction: 2-3 paragraphs introducing the biological concepts covered in the lab, including references to sources. Last paragraph of introduction should contain 2-3 sentences introducing the lab design. 50 points.
    Methods: 2-3 paragraphs detailing the methods that you used to perform the lab. Do not cut and copy these from the lab manual. Write these in sentence form and do not use numbers or bullet pointed lists. Include every detail you performed so that the reader would be able to perform the lab exactly as you did if they were trying to repeat it. Include pictures/diagrams where necessary. 50 points.
    Results: 2-3 paragraphs summarizing the results of the experiment. Use the Lab manual as a guide for the type of information to include here. Create figures (bar plots, scatterplots, etc) in Microsoft Excel from the completed tables from the Lab manual. Do not insert the tables from the Lab manual into the document, as I expect further synthesis of these results. Insert pictures of the completed experiment. 50 points.
    Discussion & Conclusion: 2-3 paragraphs discussing the results of the experiment, what the results mean, and how they relate to the biological concept under study. Reference outside sources where appropriate. Discuss 2-3 errors while avoiding the term human error. (Random Error and Systematic Error) Include a paragraph on your experience and impressions of the lab and what you learned. 50 points.
    References: Include MLA properly formatted references and in-text citations. A minimum of three sources are required. (See Purdue OWL). 25 points.
