Infos about my experiment

Number of participants;- 7 (all of them are students)

In this experiment, I’m looking at Task Difficulty and the effect of incubation period(Look at the

experiment please-another file).

- How is this manipulated/measured? Participants’ attempts will be measured by looking at if the

participant answered the riddle correctly on the 1st attempt or 2nd attempt which is after the

incubation period, because after the break, participants had 2nd attempt on the same questions.

- Incubation is as a within subjects variable.

- Independent Variable:- Incubation

Dependent variable:- Number of Trials(whether the participant got the right answer on the 1 st

trial or 2 nd which is after incubation)

- Mean of “Before Incubation” :- 6.57

Mean of “After Incubation” :- 9.43
