PJAS is a statewide organization of junior and senior high school students designed to stimulate and promote interest in science among its members through the development of research projects and investigations. [3] The Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science is organized with the following objectives:
In design of experiments, single-subject curriculum or single-case research design is a research design most often used in applied fields of psychology, education, and human behaviour in which the subject serves as his/her own control, rather than using another individual/group. Researchers use single-subject design because these designs are ...
The use of a sequence of experiments, where the design of each may depend on the results of previous experiments, including the possible decision to stop experimenting, is within the scope of sequential analysis, a field that was pioneered [13] by Abraham Wald in the context of sequential tests of statistical hypotheses. [14]
Often, factorial experiments simplify things by using just two levels for each factor. A 2x2 factorial design, for instance, has two factors, each with two levels, leading to four unique combinations to test. The interaction between these factors is often the most crucial finding, even when the individual factors also have an effect.
Field social experiments had proved to be efficient as they reflect real life due to their natural setting. [6] The social experiments commonly referred to today were conducted decades later, in which an experiment is done in a controlled environment such as a laboratory. An example of this is Stanley Milgram's obedience experiment in 1963. [7]
The Asch conformity experiments shows how group pressure can persuade an individual to conform to an obviously wrong opinion (1951) B. F. Skinner's demonstrations of operant conditioning (1930s–1960s) Harry Harlow's experiments with baby monkeys and wire and cloth surrogate mothers (1957–1974) Stanley Milgram's experiments on human ...
An experiment is a procedure carried out to support or refute a hypothesis, or determine the efficacy or likelihood of something previously untried. Experiments provide insight into cause-and-effect by demonstrating what outcome occurs when a particular factor is manipulated.
The awardees, 10 senior researchers and 10 young researchers, are selected by the Iranian Research Organization for Science and Technology (IROST). It honors “individuals who have made outstanding achievements in research, innovation and invention, in fields related to science and technology”. [35] Iran Young Scientist Award
