I want to see if eating breakfast in the morning affects your ability to remember. There will be two groups of 50 students randomly selected. Group A will eat the same kind of breakfast while group B does not eat anything. Then, both groups will be put into a lecture hall to remember a story for 10 minutes. After that they will relax for 15 minutes and then take a test based on that story. Whichever group that scores the highest on the test is the group that remembers better than the other group.
In my experiment the independent variable is breakfast and my dependent variable is the ability to remember. My hypothesis is that the students who ate breakfast will be able to remember better than the students that did not eat breakfast. If my hypothesis is correct, then students should eat breakfast every morning so they can remember things in class better.
I think the hardest part of designing this experiment is to come up with a research question.

Hello my name is Dan Dan Chen, this is my second year at Baruch College. I was born in China and raise there until 201. I migrated to the United States with my mom and younger siser. My sister is two years younger than me, but we look almost like identical twins. According to many of our mutual friends our personalities are also alike.
I play online games, right now I am interested in a game call the League of Legends, but since the school starts I haven’t had time to play. 🙁

"1. What is your reaction to the choices made by the author of this Reflection in terms of which memories they chose to keep and which memories they are discarding.
Perhaps unconsciously you remembered, but your conscious mind does not. Revisiting your environment and people who you loved can trigger some memory to be recovered, but probably not all. I think you should not try too hard to remember, but instead let the memories come to you.
2. How would you feel if this friend did not remember you (imagining that you are their longtime friend)?
I will feel disappointed but I think it is understandable. I will try my best to help her or him to recover the memories of us and create new memories with him or her.
3. What role might you play in helping them reconstruct their memory?
I do not want to pressure him or her. I will spend my time hanging out with him or her and do things we usually do. I will take my friend to places where we used to hang out.
4. Based on what you’ve learned in class and through your readings, what memory encoding, consolidation, and retrieval techniques might you use or teach to help this person recover and reintegrate their memories?
Like the above comments, I believe visual aids are the best to help my friend to recover his or her memories."

I do not think that an apple and a banana is sufficient for everybody, I would suggest something that is more commonly eaten as breakfast (such as bacon, egg and cheese, pancakes, omelet, etc.).
I do not think a survey is accurate enough for the experiment because people may modify their response under observation. However, I think I can survey what people eat during breakfast to decide what the satiate group should eat."
