Study Analysis

Select one of the experiments that you think is interesting from the link found at the end of this post. Click on the link in the summary to start your research about that experiment. Read through the information and seek out other information online. You need a minimum of five references (listed at the end of your comment using proper MLA format).  There may be good YouTube videos or other sources you should investigate. You can also look up some of the experiments or the experimenters in your textbook. 

In your comment to THIS BLOG POST please do the following to complete the assignment:

1. Summarize the experiment. Include who did it, when they did it,where they did it, and what they did.

2. Explain the importance of the experiment to our understanding of human behavior. Make a claim about why you think the experiment is considered to have provided a valuable insight into the way people think and/or act?

3. Give one example of how the experiment can be applied to everyday life. You can use yourself or someone you know in the example, or make up an example that you think the experiment might apply to in normal life.

4. At the end of your post include all sources (full URLs, please) and sign the post with your first name and just the initial letter of your last name for all members of the group (for example: Phillip D.)

5. Post your analysis as a comment to this post.

I strongly suggest that you write your comment in Word or other program first so you can check your spelling etc. and then just paste it into the body of the email. This will also allow you to save your work in case the blog does something strange. 

Posting may only happen on September 25-27.  I will moderate and publish your posts on the 28th.
