Question

Yoo and colleagues (2007) examined the effects of sleep deprivation on memory and brain activation. One group of subjects were allowed to sleep normally, while the experimental group was made to stay "up all night". Data was collected on reaction time/identification (indoor/outdoor) of visual images and brain activation during an encoding session in the morning following sleep deprivation. Memory of individual images was examined 48 hours later during a recognition test. Which of the following statements are correct about this study are correct? This study is a good example of a QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN. One INDEPENDENT variable in this study would be whether subjects were allowed to sleep or whether they stayed awake all night. One DEPENDENT variable would be the age of each subject participating in the study. This study primarily used a WITHIN-SUBJECT design. More than one of the other answers are correct. None of the other answers are correct.

Researchers did an experiment to measure the effects of sleep on memory. Participants were divided into three groups: 4-hour sleep group, 6-hour sleep group, and 8-hour sleep group. After the night of rest, all participants were given a memory test. What is the independent variable? What are the levels of the independent variable? What is the dependent variable? This experiment is utilizing a design. a. Between-subjects b. Within-subjects c. Mixed d. None of the above The null hypothesis states that there will be a difference in memory based on the amount of sleep one receives. TRUE OR FALSE What type of test should the researcher conduct in order to test for overall significance between the groups? To determine the percentage of variability in the DV that is attributed to the IV, the researcher can a. Divide the F ratio by the critical value. b. Calculate HSD. c. Look at the "sig." level on SPSS output d. Calculate eta squared After computing the F statistic, one should always conduct post-hoc tests. TRUE OR FALSE A significant F results when at least pair of group means are significantly different from one another. What is the "One" referring to in "One-way ANOVA"?

A team of researchers studied the effects of sleep deprivation on decay of short-term memory. Eight participants stayed in a lab for 2 days. Four were randomly assigned not to sleep during that period. The other four were allowed to sleep when they wanted to do so. At the end of the 2 days, the participants completed a short-term memory task. Here are the results: Mean Time (Seconds) for Remembering sleep deprived normal sleep 7 9 8 8 7 11 9 7 Based on these results, does sleep deprivation reduce short-term memory? (Use the .05 significance level. a) Use (and clearly label) the five steps of hypothesis testing. b) Calculate the effect size.

A sleep researcher conducts an experiment to determine whether sleep loss affects the ability to maintain sustained attention. Fifteen individuals are randomly divided into the following three groups of five subjects each: group 1, which gets the normal amount of sleep (7-8 hours); group 2, which is sleep-deprived for 24 hours; and group 3, which is sleep-deprived for 48 hours. All three groups are tested on the same auditory vigilance task. Subjects are presented with half-second tones spaced at irregular intervals over a 1-hour duration. Occasionally, one of the tones is slightly shorter than the rest. The subjects' task is to detect the shorter tones. The following percentages of correct detections were observed: Normal Sleep: 86% 85% 76% 72% Sleep-Deprived for 24 Hours: 57% 54% 75% 60% Sleep-Deprived for 48 Hours: 57% 47% 38% 49% (f) Using α = 0.05 two-tail, do a planned comparison between the means of the 48 hr sleep-deprived group and the normal sleep group to see whether these conditions differ in their effect on the ability to maintain sustained attention. tcrit = ±

00:01 Here, the experiment is to measure the effects of sleep on memory.
00:16 And here we have three groups such as those who slept for four hours, those who slept for six hours, and those who slept for eight hours.
00:27 First, let us see what is an independent variable...
