Screen-cast for Monday, Sept. 14, 2020

Mr. Duez discusses:

  • Quiz from Friday over Chapter 2 - Research Methods
  • AP Classroom - use it to see sample questions - these are NOT graded - they are for practice.
  • Test - CH 1 & CH 2 - Tuesday by 11:59 - Do not click on the link for the test today or tomorrow until you are prepared to take it. 50 multiple choice questions in 65 minutes. Work diligently. You will probably miss a few questions, maybe a lot. I always curve the tests. Don't get upset. Keep fighting to get the next question correct. This test is made up of AP Test Questions - so you will be prepared when the day of the test comes. 
  • Do Now Question over experiments
  • Research Methods: Experimentation - Random Sample, Random Assignment, Placebo, Independent & Dependent Variables, Extraneous/Confounding Variables

 Agenda:
1. DO NOW: 
A researcher designs a study to investigate the effect of feedback on perception of incomplete visual figures. Each participant stares at the center of a screen while the researcher briefly projects incomplete geometric figures one at a time at random positions on the screen. The participant's task is to identify each incomplete figure. One group of participants receives feedback on the accuracy of their responses. A second group does not. The researcher compares the mean number of figures correctly identified by the two groups. 

 

  • Identify the Independent Variable
  • Identify the Dependent Variable

The Experimental Method
Identify independent, dependent, confounding, & control variables in experimental designs.

Describe how research design drives the reasonable conclusions that can be drawn.
  • Experiments are useful for determining cause & effect.
  • The use of experimental controls reduces alternative explanations.
  • Random assignment is needed to demonstrate cause & effect.
  • Correlational research can indicate if there is a relationship or association between two variables but cannot demonstrate cause & effect.
Distinguish between random assignment of participants to conditions in experiments & random selection of participants, primarily in correlational studies & surveys.
