Meeting 12

Summary meeting June 6, 2016:

1. We analyzed about hypothesis of experiment and our sentences was:  Rewards will have be an effect on cognitive flexibility in Children between 10-12 years old.

Sub hypothesis:

A. Percentage of the reaction time of Task-performance (increase and decrease) rewards groups will be lower than the RT of Control group: task-no performance rewards.
B. Percentage of the correct answers of Task-performance (increase and decrease) rewards groups with rewards will be higher than the CA of Control group: task-no performance rewards.
C. Second group called Task-performance increase rewards (TPIR) (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%) will have lower reaction time and higher correct answer than Task-performance decrease rewards (TPDR) (80%, 60%, 40%, 20%).

Characteristics of groups:

Control group: Task-no performance rewards

1^st block has not rewards questions with black and white colors (32)

2^nd block has not rewards questions with black and white colors (32)

3^rd block has not rewards questions with black and white colors (32)

4^rd block has not rewards questions with black and white colors (32)

Task-performance increase rewards group (TPIR)

1^st block has 80% rewards questions with green color (26), other 20% questions with black and white colors (6)

2^nd block has 60% rewards questions with green color (19), other 40% questions with black and white colors (13)

3^rd block has 40% rewards questions with green color (13), other 60% questions with black and white colors (19)

Task-performance decrease rewards group (TPDR)

1^st block has 20% rewards questions with green color (6), other 80% questions with black and white colors (26)

2^nd block has 40% rewards questions with green color (13), other 60% questions with black and white colors (19)

3^rd block has 60% rewards questions with green color (19), other 40% questions with black and white colors (13)

4^rd block has 80% rewards questions with green color (26), other 20% questions with black and white colors (6)

Variables: 

Dependent: V1 %Reaction time, V2 %correct answers: (Cognitive flexibility-Construct theory)

Independent: Rewards

Number of trails per blocks: 32

Number of blocks: 4  

Total number of trails: 128

Possible graphs:

2. I will send a draft of article about this experiment about introduction and methods on this Friday 10/June/2016

3. I will search about TSH Research Ethics Committee
