Cool Data Day(s) 6 minutes to do the following: 1. Discuss Issue 2. Hypothesis 3. Method 4. Design 5. Predictions 6. Rationales 7. Results 8. Conclusions Graph Requirements A. Must be an experiment or quasi-exp. B. Must have at least 1 IV (or participant variable) - on X axis C. Must have at least 1 DV - on Y axis D. Cannot be an exp. that we have discussed in class - can be about false memory though if it has not been discussed in class
Grade Criteria (each worth 1 point) • Was ppt presentation sent on time (10:00 AM day of presentation to Jocelyn)? send to jschock@unomaha.edu • Was data from experiment or quasi-experiment? • Was graph in the correct format (e.g., bar, line)? • Were axes labeled and readable? • Were issues, method, design, and results stated clearly and understandable? • Were hypotheses, predictions, rationales, and conclusions stated clearly and understandable? • Was presentation about 6 minutes (i.e., was it too long or too short)?
2008 Issue – Do brain images influence perceptions of scientific research? Hypothesis – People naturally like to reduce cognitive phenomena to brain processes, and brain images accompanying data allow them to do that more easily than other visual aids.
Method - In Experiment 1, they presented a scenario that was either accompanied by an fMRI brain image or a bar graph, and subjects were asked to rate if the scientific reasoning in the article made sense. Note, however, that the scientific reasoning did not make sense. For example, one scenario stated that both TV watching and engaging in mental arithmetic activated similar areas in the temporal cortex. Therefore, watching TV makes people better at math.
Design – The independent variable was image type (control, brain image, bar graph), and the dependent variable was a rating on a 1-4 scale to the statement: The scientific reasoning in the article made sense where 1 indicated “strongly disagree” and 4 indicated “strongly agree”
Prediction – implied that ratings would be higher for articles accompanied by brain images Rationale – implied from hypothesis that people naturally like to reduce cognitive phenomena to brain processes
Results Conclusion – brain images are influential due to people’s desire to reduce cognition to brain activity
Why bar graph? IV is categorical Use line graph when IV is not categorical - continuous - discrete, but interval or ratio Results Conclusion – brain images are influential due to people’s desire to reduce cognition to brain activity
Examples of categorical, continuous, and discrete variables categorical – sex (male, female) bar graph continuous – time (beginning, end) line graph discrete - number of presentations (1, 2, 3) line graph
Conclusion - Brain scans can detect criminals - no scientific reasoning errors
