Last class, we discussed potential topics for testing claims about sense perception. For instance, can someone tell the difference between two different brands of water, or taste the difference between organic and conventional turkey. What’s tricky is coming up with ways to test the claim that would prove the ability is real. Thus, I would like everyone to identify something worth testing. Do you have a family member who believes that the more expensive name brand shampoo is better than the cheaper generic version? If so, that would make a perfect claim to test. What about the difference between Coke and Pepsi? McDonald’s vs Wendy’s French fries? Papa John’s vs Pizza Hut? Sound quality between speaker brands? The more confident the person in his/her ability to discern a difference, the better the subject for testing.
The assignment is to explain what you will be testing and how you will be administering the test (what are the conditions?). This assignment (one paragraph explaining your methodology for testing the claim). In addition,
I would like everyone to identify three (3) conspiracy theories you’re considering for our next investigation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conspiracy_theories
