Picked our demonstration today. We're having people put perception goggles on and try to scooter in a straight line.
Day 2
Started looking into studies of perception. There many different ways people view things.
Day 3
We found two studies. One on how researchers study perception and how there are different methods. And one on the different ways to study perception.
Day 4
We figured out what our demonstration is going to be. People will be timed to scooter in a straight line without goggles, and then with the perception goggles.
Day 5
We figured out what our control group is and our experimental group.
Day 6
Out of 1000 people we are assuming we will test 300 people with out project.
Everyone tested could have different results if something fails, like if they don´t have enough room to scooter or the timer dies.
Day 7
We came up with who we will be testing our experiment too. We also came up with our title, which is called ¨Scooting our way through Perception¨.
Day 8
We found out what materials we need for our experiment; scooters, perception goggles, a phone for a timer, and tape.
Day 9
We started designing our poster board (very hard taking picture with lab top)
Last day working on psych fair stuff!! We are finishing our poster board. Decided what details we wanted to put on for people to want to come to try our experiment.
Day 11
Parents came in to preview our experiment. We decided to use crisscross lines of tape on the floor to make it harder for people to scooter. When timing them some people did worse the second time (with the goggles) and then some people got around the same time. After they were done they surveyed on the Google form. Which was asking them their age, gender, time took them without the goggles and time it took with.
Day 12
We had over 300 people try our experiment. I believe people really enjoyed it and were amazed at how the perception goggles really change your vision. one pair even made your vision upside down! it was crazy! My group and I learned a lot through the psych fair and are glad we were in it. Heres a video of someone scootering with the goggles. And heres a picture of someone scottering with the goggles and scootering without them.
Day 13
We shared all of videos and pictures with Mr. Vuillaume. We also did a survey on how we thought the psych fair went and what we would change. Our booth could be more organized by having each person do a certain task. For example one person tell the person what to do and give the goggles, one person be the timer, and one person make sure that everyone does the survey. My group and I believe some people forgot to take the survey or didn't know what we were talking about when we said to take it, and just walked away.
Please expand upon your experiment details more. Perhaps some pictures, video's or links to experiments similar to yours.
ReplyDeleteHow will you test the error in scootering in a straight line? Just visually?
ReplyDeleteHow long will the participants be involved in the experiment? Also, what are you doing to the goggles to make them distort perception?
ReplyDeleteExplain what this experiment are supposed to be testing. Are the perception goggles on a scooter supposed to show how it feels to drive under the influence or is there a different point to the experiment?
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting experiment and I like the title. I'm excited to see how it works.
ReplyDeleteAre these like the drunk goggles? I have used them in health class and normal activities are very difficult. I wonder if scootering will be more of muscle memory though...
ReplyDeleteHow are you going to make the goggles distorted? Good luck tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThis experiment was so freaky. I went super slow while wearing the drunk googles but that's because those googles were suppose to impair my vision, which it did. It was very difficult to stay on the line without guidance.
