The dependent variable is how long it takes to complete the task. This could be done in class, but could also be adapted and used online (in a synchronous meeting, the instructor could time students). Following the demonstration, students could identify IVs and DVs, suggest design improvements, and suggest follow-up research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instructors could also share the data with the class and have them analyze it to test the effects as part of a lab. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.learningscientists.org\/blog\/2017\/7\/28-1\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> for the full description. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can follow the Learning Scientists on Twitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AceThatTest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@AceThatTest<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this activity from The Learning Scientists&#8217; blog, students are randomly assigned to one of three groups: recite the alphabet, count to 26, or go both by going back and forth (A-1-B-2, etc.).
