Today i participated in a physiology study. it was focused on human short term memory function and how different stimuli may affect it. the over all process was reality simple. The administrator began by recording out initial blood pressure and heart rates, to gauge how our bodies acted in a resting environment. Following the initial recording of vital stats, the test environment was commenced. the only purpose pf this section was to familiarize the participants with the test. in essence, all the test was comprised of was a quadrant with four marked sections, with an image appearing in one sector each iteration. the image would either be a scene appearing outside or inside, and the subjects would be required to record where it appeared. So , each iteration the participant would circle the quadrant in which the image appeared and weather it appeared outside or inside. following this section, subjects were asked to complete simple multiplications for five minutes (ie. 45X12, 11X21, 34X46). Following this blood pressure and heart rate were again measured. next in the procedure, subjects were presented with a blank quadrant, when each image was presented on screen, participants were askedto mark which quadrant each image appeared in. being a part of the control group, i was not subjected to any stressors however subsequent groups will be distracted by “obnoxious construction sounds” and other stressors, i am worried that this experiment will not produce any significant results because even though i was only the control and not subject to any stressors, i do not feel confident tat i correctly recorded any locations in the second part of the experiment.
