single detection lab Results
The table below lists several detection statistics for different numbers of noise dots. The most important statistic is d'. It gives a measure of your ability to discriminate displays in which the target was present from displays in which the target was absent. You should find that d' decreases as the number of noise dots increases. It also reports C, a measure of bias (negative = liberal; positive = conservative).
| Number of Dots | d' | C | Hits | False alarms | Correct rejections | Misses |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 144 dots | 5.582 | -1.509 | 1.000 | 0.100 | 0.900 | 0.000 |
| 400 dots | 1.683 | 0.000 | 0.800 | 0.200 | 0.800 | 0.200 |
| 1000 dots | 1.049 | 0.000 | 0.700 | 0.300 | 0.700 | 0.300 |

Rationale: Providing an option to meet the PY100 research participation requirement by submitting summaries of research articles that have turned out to be very important for the field of psychology will enrich your knowledge of psychology gained from the course. (We assume that you have chosen this option because participating in experiments is not a viable option for you.) Since research is one of the cornerstones of psychology, we expect you to have a valuable educational experience that contributes to your understanding of psychology as an empirical discipline. Articles: You should select your articles for review from Forty Studies That Changed Psychology by Roger Hock. There is a copy on reserve in Mabee Library for PY100. Or you can probably find a used copy online if you want more convenient access to the book. Since you are required to turn in a copy of each article you review, if you buy a used copy of the book you could also just turn in the book with your reviews instead of having to copy all the articles. You can then pick up your book in the Psychology Department office sometime after your articles have been evaluated. Procedure If you decide not to buy a used copy of the book, follow the procedure outlined 1.Choose up to five articles from the Hock book (depending on how many research participation credits you need). Note that one article summary = one hour experiment participation credit. 2. For each article, identify the article by including the title (or short version of the title) as a header at the top of each page of your summary. 3.Briefly review (summarize) the contents of the research article by including a section for each of the headings you encounter in the article. Generally you will find at least the following headings: a. Introduction (usually states a rationale for the investigation and the purpose of the study; probably reviews relevant research). b. Method (includes a description of the participants, instruments and procedures employed in the research process). c. Results (provides the significant results of the research). d. Discussion (or Conclusion) (provides an interpretation of the important results and suggestions for future directions of research). Format: Your summary should be at least one page long but no more than three pages. It should be typed and double-spaced using an easily readable 12-point font such as Times New Roman. Set all four-page margins to 1 inch.
