FA16 Project 7: Week 14

The name of my game is called Speed Round and this week we concluded our results into data called statistical data. There were 5 subjects used and they were recruited if they have the mental disorder, ADHD, and then will be picked at random. On one hand, subjects that were included are anyone that attends school. On the other hand, people who were excluded are those who don’t have ADHD. The conditions of this experiment were that the experimental group were given medication in order to focus on the game and the control group were given a placebo; thinking they were given medication when they took nothing. I would observe how the subjects responded to simple questions and if they didn’t answer in a timely manner, they would be placed in the control group. When calculating statistical data, you must always leave the result in SI units. I calculated the mean for each of subjects to get a precise representation on how each person was doing throughout the game.
