I’m working on a psychology question and need guidance to help me learn.
As the diagram indicates, you will need 5 Sniffy subjects per group. An N of 5 should give us ample statistical power, and hopefully, clean results.
Your experiment will involve
conditioned suppression. Each subject should be run for 20 trials. You
are free to specify the inter-trial-interval (my suggestion is to keep
it at 5 minutes), however, make sure all animals are trained using the
same interval! We hypothesize that the magnitude of conditioned
suppression will depend on the intensity of the CS and US stimulus.
Your report should include a title
page, a method section, a results section, a discussion section, and a
bibliography. Please follow APA paper guidelines for your report. When
writing your method sections, I would like you to “pretend” that you are
using live animals in all of your experiments. In some of your projects
(including your first one), you will start by opening the “ShapeBP”
file, which is a saved session for a rat that has been shaped to bar
press. In your method sections, therefore, you can start by saying
something like, “All rats were first trained to bar press for food
reward.” In addition, when writing your method sections, be sure to
include all the procedural required for another researcher to replicate
your experiment. Your report must also include a detailed description of
the data, including all descriptive and inferential statistics
performed. For this project, you must provide a line plot
(including error bars!) that indicates the average suppression ratio for
each experimental group of animal
PLEASE PROVIDE T SCORE AND ANOVA.
