This is two parts/discussions and needs to be answered in full. No plargism.1) States of Consciousness of Left and Right BrainThis is a video on how the brain interprets information. It concerns states of consciousness and how we perceive the world. And, you will learn and remember the functions and importance of the left brain and right brain for all time!Please check it out. Its about 18 minutes. I would love your comments and thoughts on this one. What did you learn? What are the functions of the left and right brain? Your thoughts.http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/229Are you more Left Brain or Right Brain?So, here is a test that might help. Do you believe the results are valid, i.e., do they measure what they are supposed to measure? Or they reliable, i.e., you would get the same score again, or do you think we could be more left brain and then more right brain as we age, or vice versa? Your thoughts?Note that you do not need to register or enter your email, or pay for anything to take this test.Click here for the test (about 10 minutes): Left/Brain Right Brain PSYC testIf you would like to do so, find another test for us on the left/brain right/brain and we can compare our results.2) Selective Attention and the Cocktail Party EffectWhat is selective attention? Go to: http://www.theinvisiblegorilla.com/videos.html Watch the first video, then the second. Then scroll down to the Original Door Study and watch that one. What is going on in this video? What is the purpose of selective attention?What is the cocktail party effect? Why might this be useful to us? (See e-Readings “Sensation and Perception”, Sec 4.5) attached.

Researchers in psychology often use experimental designs to learn about behavior and other topics in the field. Experiments offer important benefits, such as control over extraneous variables, allowing researchers to determine how experimental factors affect behavior. There is a variety of experimental designs, and this assignment will help you to understand their features and limitations.For this Assignment, you will write a 3–5 page paper on experimental research designs. Using the PG Library, you will also find and summarize a research article about a study employing an experimental design.Be sure to address the following in your paper:Part 1. Describe Experimental DesignsDescribe major features and the role of error in between-subjects designs, including the following designs:Single-factor randomized group designsRandomized multi-group designsMatched-group designsDescribe major features of and the role of error in within-subjects design.Explain when it would be appropriate to use a within-subjects design.Describe major features of and the role of error in single-subject designs.Part 2. Summarize a Research Article Employing an Experimental DesignUsing the PG Library, identify a research article in a peer-reviewed journal. Summarize the article, focusing on the design. Be sure to address the following:Summarize the research topic and question.Identify the specific experimental design the researchers applied.Summarize the methodology, including participants, measures, and basic procedures.Summarize the major findings of the study.The Assignment should:Utilize a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources outside of your textbook to support your paper.Follow Assignment directions (review grading rubric for best results).Use correct APA formatting per the current APA Publication Manual.Demonstrate college-level communication through the composition of original materials in Standard English.Be written in Standard English and be clear, specific, and error-free.Your paper should include:Title PageMain Body of the paperReference Page3-5 Pages in lengthSubmitting your AssignmentPut your Assignment in a Word document. Save it in a location that you will remember and with your full name along with the class number. When you are ready to submit it to the unit Dropbox. You should revisit the Dropbox to view any helpful feedback your instructor has left for you
