Task 4
Reading Passage:
The experimenter effect refers to the inadvertent bias that researchers may introduce into their studies due to their own expectations and behavior. This phenomenon can significantly impact the validity and reliability of research findings. In a classic study conducted by Smithson and Johnson (2007), participants were led to believe they were participating in a memory experiment. However, unbeknownst to the participants, the experiment was designed to test the experimenter effect. In the control group, the experimenters remained neutral and showed no overt cues or expectations. In the experimental group, the experimenters subtly displayed enthusiasm and encouraged participants during the memory tasks. The results revealed a significant difference in performance between the two groups, with the experimental group outperforming the control group. This study demonstrates the influence experimenters can have on participants' performance and highlights the importance of controlling for the experimenter effect in research studies.
Listening Passage:
Lecturer: Good morning, everyone. Today, we'll be discussing the experimenter effect, a crucial factor to consider when conducting research. The experimenter effect refers to the inadvertent bias that experimenters introduce into their studies through their expectations and behavior. It can greatly influence the outcomes and validity of research findings. To illustrate this, let's consider the study conducted by Smithson and Johnson in 2007. They examined the effect of experimenters' cues on participants' performance in a memory experiment. In the control group, the experimenters maintained a neutral demeanor, while in the experimental group, they subtly displayed enthusiasm and provided positive reinforcement during the memory tasks. The results indicated a significant difference in performance between the two groups, highlighting the impact of the experimenter effect on participants. This study emphasizes the importance of mitigating experimenter bias to ensure accurate and reliable research outcomes.
The question:
Based on the information provided in the passage and the lecture, explain how the example from the professor's lecture illustrates the experimenter effect.
My Answer:
Experimentary effect is a bias that cause from experimenters expectation and behavior. this kind of effect can distort the outcome of the experiment. one study held on 2007 about two groups, the first one is control group that not being told about the experiment, and the second one it's already being told about the experiment. actually it was not said about experimenter effect but about the memory experiment. The result is outraging that the the groups that being told about the experiment giving more positive result than the neutral. lastly the professor concludes that mitigating bias from experimental effect it's very important to make more reliable outcome of experiment in academic

Task 6
Listening Passage:
[Opening Remarks]
Professor: Good morning, everyone. Today, we'll be delving into the fascinating topic of birds' eye position and its crucial role in their survival. As we explore various examples, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how this adaptation impacts their ability to thrive in their environments.
[Lecture Transcript]
Professor: Let's start by discussing the positioning of birds' eyes and how it contributes to their survival. Birds, unlike humans, have their eyes located on the sides of their heads, providing them with a wide field of vision. This panoramic view enables them to detect potential threats or sources of food from different angles simultaneously.
Student: Excuse me, Professor. Why do birds need such a wide field of vision?
Professor: Excellent question! Birds, being creatures that primarily rely on flight, need to be aware of their surroundings at all times. Their lateral placement of eyes allows them to monitor for predators approaching from any direction while simultaneously scanning the environment for food sources, such as insects or small prey. In essence, this visual adaptation enhances their chances of survival.
Student: Does this unique eye position provide any disadvantages to birds?
Professor: Another great question! While the wide field of vision is advantageous, it does have some trade-offs. One notable drawback is the reduced depth perception that birds experience compared to humans. Since their eyes are positioned on the sides, their binocular vision is limited. Binocular vision, as we have in humans, provides depth perception, enabling us to accurately judge distances. However, birds compensate for this by using other sensory cues, such as motion parallax and stereopsis, to gauge distances and navigate their surroundings effectively.
Student: That's fascinating! Are there any specific examples of bird species that showcase the significance of eye position?
Professor: Absolutely! Let's take the example of raptors, such as eagles and hawks. These birds of prey have forward-facing eyes, similar to humans, providing them with exceptional depth perception. This enables them to accurately judge the distance and trajectory of their prey while hunting. On the other hand, birds like pigeons or sparrows, with eyes positioned on the sides, have a broader field of vision, helping them detect predators approaching from any direction.
[Conclusion]
Professor: In conclusion, birds' eye position plays a pivotal role in their survival. While their wide field of vision allows for increased situational awareness, it comes at the cost of reduced depth perception. Nonetheless, different bird species have evolved diverse eye positions that align with their ecological needs. Understanding these adaptations provides us with valuable insights into the remarkable ways in which organisms adapt to their environments.
[End of Lecture Transcript]
The question:
Based on the lecture transcript provided, explain the significance of birds' eye position for their survival. Discuss how this adaptation enables birds to detect threats and find sources of food effectively. Provide examples from the lecture to support your explanation.
My Answer:
according to the professor bird eyes position it's really vital for survival of birds, because it's the adaptation effort from them to be thrive. especially about the position because the bird eyes mostly have side by side eyes that give them wide range panoramic angle which is this good for them to find the surrounding area all the time and find the food and avoid the predator. but this side by side has trade off such as it can reduce the depth perception or distance. the example of the side by side but can be fun from the pigeon so pigeon can easily run from the predator.
