Materials and StimuliThis section is a list of the materials and stimuli used within the experiment. It should describe all of the materials, stimuli and apparatus used. It is an important but neglected section, you need to provide a comprehensive description of the materials used, especially the stimuli. It is also important however that at this stage you don't include too much information about how the various materials etc. were used within the experiment,as this should be left to the next section, the procedure section.
The stimuli used in the memory test were 30 three and four letter words. Paper and pen were also provided for the recall test.
Common ErrorsThe main error, as outlined above, is including information about the procedure within this section. It has to be a clear description with no details about the procedure. Also Student often fail to fully describe the stimulus used. |
