- 4 variables in lab report
- Gender
- Sex hormone levels
- Symptoms of Autism spectrum disorder
- Spatial working memory
- In general, female has longer 2nd finger and male has longer 4th finger
- Female has larger ratio
- In general, Spatial working memory (male)
- In general, Verbal working memory (female)
- Autism spectrum disorder can be due to genetics or brain
- Focus on discussion and results
- Looking at the balance of the research and form own hypothesis
- Duff & Hampson
- Female better on both working memory task
- Sexual differentiation of the prefrontal cortex
- Female and male has different development of PFC
- Kalmady
- Women have longer 2D, larger ratio
- Need to look at ratio and gender
- There is interaction between 2D4D ratio and gender
- Steele
- People perform worst (diagnose of autism) on spatial working memory
- Iv gender, 2 levels
- Dv2D4D, AQ, WMA
- Design of study : quasi-experimental and correlational
- Not repeated : because is either male and female
- Independent measures design
- 2 groups
- Order of tasks randomised
- Between groups, 2 groups
Discussion
- Practical implication and theoretical implication
Aim
- To explore the relationship between the 4 variables
Hypothesis
- Not need write 3 hypothesis
- But need to include those variables
- 1st is about the t-test
- 2nd is about correlational
Gender diff: independent sample t-test, 3 t-test
Relationship: correlation
Mean and SD of age
