Dyslexia refers to a specific reading disability that affects 10% to 15% of the general population. A dyslexic child is defined as a child of normal or above-normal intelligence with no known organic behavioural disorders who, despite normal schooling, shows a reading lag of at least two years. A researcher proposed that dyslexia was the result of a complex visual deficit that could be immediately corrected by simply putting a blue plastic overlay on the reading material. To test this, 100 dyslexic children were randomly assigned to one of two groups, one of which read from pages with a clear plastic overlay an

A cognitive psychologist conducted a study of whether familiarity of words (X) predicts the time it takes (in seconds) to press a button indicating whether the word is singular or plural (Y), with all participants being given the same words. Familiarity with these words was rated at a later time on a 7-point scale (with higher numbers indicating more familiarity). The participants' scores were: X : 6, 2, 5 ,3 ,7 Y : 0.3 , 1.5 , 0.8 , 1.4 ,0.1 a.Figure the correlation coefficient Describe the correlation Figure the linear prediction rule; list the b value, a value and the final formula Predict the time it takes to press a button if the familiarity with the word is 1
A habituation task is often used to test memory for infants. In the habituation process, a stimulus is shown to the infant for a brief period, and the researcher records how much time the infant spends looking at the stimulus. This same process is repeated again and again. If the infant begins to lose interest in the stimulus (decreases the time looking at it), the researcher can conclude that the infant “remembers” the earlier presentations and is demonstrating habituation to an old familiar stimulus. The data shown below represent the amount of time (in seconds) attending to the stimulus. Use SPSS to determine whether habituation occurs in this data, and write your results in APA style.

4. One technique to help people deal with phobias is to have them counteract the feared objects by using imagination to move themselves to a place of safety. In an experimental test of this technique, patients sit in front of a screen and are instructed to relax. Then, they are shown an image of the feared object. The patient signals the researcher as soon as feelings of anxiety reach a point at which viewing the image can no longer be tolerated. The researcher records the amount of time that the patient was able to endure looking at the image. The patient spends 2 minutes imaging a “safe scene” such as a tropical beach or a familiar room before the image is presented again. As before, the patient signals when the level of anxiety becomes intolerable. If patients can tolerate the feared object longer after the imagination exercise, it is viewed as a reduction in the phobia. The data in the table below summarize the times recorded for a sample of n-7 patients. Do the data indicate that…

OSE 2 Researchers conducted a study to estimate the relationship between a subject's brain activity while watching a television commercial and subject's subsequent ability to recall the contents of commercials. People think that long commercial recall is remembered by the people compared with the short one. In order to understand the difference researcher made 10 long commercial and a short one for each products and commercials are watched by the same person. Then subjects are asked what they remembered from the commercial and giving the correct answers are codded by the following table. 1 2345678910 Long Commercial Recall 108668 9786 Short Commercial Recall 4 23444462 2 Ce Test the claim that long commercials recall is more than short one (The duration of the commercial make a difference to recall).

.A new, miracle diabetes drug that diminishes major symptoms of diabetes has been approved by the FDA. Health care professionals and researchers believe that the new drug will prolong lifespan of diabetes patients. If the population is in steady state and the incidence is constant, what will the effect of this new drug be on the prevalence of diabetes in the population? Explain.
Beryllium disease: Beryllium is an extremely lightweight metal that is used in many industries, such as aerospace and electronics. Long-term exposure to beryllium can cause people to become sensitized. Once an individual is sensitized, continued exposure can result in chronic beryllium disease, which involves scarring of the lungs. In a study of the effects of exposure to beryllium, workers were categorized by their duration of exposure (in years) and by their disease status (diseased, sensitized, or normal). The results were as follows: Duration of Exposure <1 1 to <5 ≥5 Diseased 12 14 23 Sensitized 12 18 12 Normal 64 130 205 Test the hypothesis of independence. Use the =α0.01 level of significance and the P-value method with the TI-84 Plus calculator. What do you conclude? Find P value
Refer to the (x-bar) chart in Section 8.2 Exercise 6 of the text.According to this (x-bar) chart, is the process within statistical control? If not, provide a reason why not. a. It does not appear to be within statistical control because at least one point is more extreme than the UCL or LCL. b. It appears to be within statistical control. c. It does not appear to be within statistical control because there is an obvious non-random trend, cycle, or pattern in the points. d. It does not appear to be within statistical control because at least 8 consecutive points are located all above or all below the centerline.
