Reaction Time, Synthesesia, and Sense Perception

3.  Trial                                                      Number of Dots           Percentage Change In Score*
      1                                                                 23                                                  0%
      2                                                                 27                                                  17.39%
      3                                                                 28                                                  3.7%
      4                                                                 28                                                  0%
      5                                                                 26                                                 -7.14%

4. My performance on the Hit-the-Dot game was fairly decent. I scored more points than some, yet I scored lower than others. Sense perception affected my score because I was able to use my sense of sight to perceive the dots that were appearing right in front of me. I did not use reason during this game, for my main tools were sense perception and reaction time. For the most part, my reaction time improved with each new round, however, I screwed up at the fifth game. It might have been an anomaly, or I might have lost some of my focus while playing. Through this game I learned how to make my reaction time get steadily faster as the game progressed.

7. Synthesesia is a condition in which a sense is stimulated through the wrong sense. (Example: a person can taste color.)

8. When I listen to various sorts of music, I experience pleasure, for it manages get my mind off of stress. For me, nothing more than the sense perception of hearing is involved while I listen to music. For WOK, I experience emotions which differ depending on the tone of each song. Language is expressed by the singer when he/she signs the lyrics to their song. Sense perception allows me to perceive the song in my mind.

11. Word Set 1 Time = 17.207 seconds      Word Set 1 Time 33.063 seconds  Difference = 33.063 - 17.207 = 15.586 seconds

12. The Stroop effect is when a person sees a color word written in a different color. The Stroop effect causes the person to hesitate on naming the color that is presented to them due to the fact that the word spells out another color. The nature of the word would interfere with the person's quest in their environment because even though the person sees a certain color, the word is saying a different color. Despite the fact that the person knows the word is written in red, for example, he would hesitate on saying the shouting out red since the word says green.
