Today I tested my final two participants. I am going to record all of my data later so i can analyze it and see if my hypothesis is correct. So far I have found priming affects children signifigantly more than adults. That may have to be my next experiment.

Today I had two of my peers and one adult participate in my experiment. I am close to the end of my experiment and will probably be done by the next journal entry. The results were mostly what I wanted but I have been finding that the jump ropes are not being as effective on my test subjects as I had hoped. Many peopleare putting "lump" instead of the desired "jump".
Today I went to my dads office near Dallas so I could get more results for my project. I experimented on nine adults and got lots of different results. During these experiments I found that adults are not as easily affected by priming as children. I suspect it is because they have a lot more going on in their daily lives and a lot more things to think about. Most of the results were not the ones I wanted so my hypothesis may be wrong after all.
When i was doing my testing on my frist subjects, I realized I needed to have a set time for them to look at the pictures. I counted thirty seconds for each of them but from now on I should do that everytime. For my second testing I plan to do it at my dads office so I can see the results from adults. I think they will probably be about the same, maybe just a little less accurate than the childrens.
Today I tested four of my fellow students for my experiment. When they first came to schoolI tested them so their minds would be fresh and perfect for my test. When looking at the results, I can clearly see that they were effected by the priming. They all chose the expected answers and so far my hypothesis is proving correct.
Today is the first day that I have officially started my science fair project. I will not be experimenting today but I am thinking about my project and how I can better it. I decided to have the first person who I test be in group 0, the second group 1, the third group 2, the fourth group 0, and in order like that. I have chosen to experiment like this so I wouldnt have too many in one group.
