Design an experiment to test a question that you have about some aspect of visua

Design an experiment to test a question that you have about some aspect of visual cognition.
Your actual experiment will need to be very concrete, so for each question that you brainstorm, think about what sort of experiment would most effectively answer that question. What different stimulus conditions will subjects see? What task will they perform, and what will be measured? What would different patterns of results tell you about the visual factor or process that you are interested in? Is it possible to answer the question with just one experiment, or is a control experiment also required to rule out someconfounding factor?
The final paper should have 4 main sections (please delineate thesewith section headings, and don’t be shy about subdividing these into further subsections with their own subheadings!): (1) A section motivating the question that you are asking, and why it is potentially interesting and important to everyone; (2) A review of previous theories and experimental research on such questions from the relevant literature (both what we have discussed in class, and perhaps also what you have found on your own); (3) A detailed description of the methods you propose using to test your question (these needn’t be as detailed as a journal article, but should clearly describe the experimental design, the subjects’ task, and the type of data which will be collected); and (4) A discussion of each possible pattern of results, and what theoretical implications it would have.  The paper should be 8-10 double spaced pages, plus references.  To keep your readers entertained and engaged with your ideas, try to write clearly and with flare, and to avoid typos and formatting inconsistencies wherever possible.
