Imagine a study in which you will visually present participants with a list of 20 words, one at a time, wait for a short time, and then ask them to recall as many of the words as they can. In the stressed condition, they are told that they might also be chosen to give a short speech in front of a small audience. In the unstressed condition, they are not told that they might have to give a speech. What are several specific things that you could do to standardize the procedure?

CP2 Major Project #1:

Design a complete system according to the below requirements.. It Includes:1) A Class called CandyOrder which stores information about the variety of the Candy (such as Snickers), the price per bag/box (such as 2.99), and the amount of bags/boxes (such as 2) ordered. The CandyOrder class should contain a constructor and a default constructor (sets variety to "Snickers", prices to $2.99, and box amount to 1). Accessor and Mutator methods for all instance variables. A toString method returning all instance variable values for thisobject.An equals method which returns true if variety and price are the same.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) A Class called MasterOrder:

private CandyOrder[] orders; //required instance var /** Constructs a new MasterOrder object.

*/ public MasterOrder(int len) {//Constructs array orders (above) with len for length }

public boolean addOrder(int spot, String variety, int boxes, double price) {//create a new CandyOrder object and place in position spot in array orders//validate that spot in orders is null and that spot is not >= length of array orders//if validation fails, return false -- else return true}

public int getTotalBoxes() {//returns the total of amount of boxes in CandyOrder}

public double getTotalCost() {//returns the total cost of all of boxes in CandyOrder}

public CandyOrder[] removeVariety(String candyVar) { //removes any object from CandyOrder that has a variety of candyVar, new possible decreased array of CandyOrder (minus candyVars) returned }

public String printOutInfo() {//returns a combined string of all outputs in array orders using toString method in CandyOrder -- seperate each object by a newline---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3) Main Driver Class:

a) prompt user for the length of the CandyOrder Array desired.

b) create a MasterOrder object passing the length from item a above

c) enter the amount of CandyOrders objects required in length via the addOrder method

d) call getTotalBoxes to printout total of all boxes

e) call getTotalCost to printout total cost of all CandyOrders in array

f) call removeVariety on a variety you have in the CandyOrder array in MasterOrder

g) call printOutInfo to printout all info in MasterOrder
