Psychology and Experiments

September 26, 2020

Psychology students have been very busy this last week! They were asked to complete an experiment on sleep deprivation and memories. Students were asked to come up with a memory test they could ask others on different occasions. The people they asked were chosen by how much sleep they get on average. The idea was to test if students who get less sleep have a harder time with memory. Students worked with a partner and turned in reports based on their findings. Those were due today so we will have to wait to see what their results were. My goal in having Psychology students do experiments, is to remind them that this is a science and these things help us learn more on various subjects.
