1. Abstract

As time goes by, some of the teenagers or students tend to forget what they have learned before when they were younger. This experiment is to know how familiar the respondent and how fast their minds could think of the alphabets Z-A. The first part of the trial is to let them resite Z-A in a given period of time which is 30 seconds. Then at the second, third,fourth and fifth they were asked to give their estimated numbers of letter then resite again and we’ll see if they have meet their given estimated number. After each trial every respondent was given a 1 minute break. In this experiment we use Pencil, Paper and timer. A graph is shown as the results plotted on it. Then we’ll see if the results of the examination, and see if it rises or not. And see how repeating doings will fasten the thinking of the minds of the respondent.

II. Introduction

This experiment is all about conducting and familiarizing student, and how they can resite alphabet from Z-A , each student will be having 5 trials that is 30 seconds per trial, and a 1 minute pause after each trial. All the results of the experiment will be plotted on a graph and we will know if their memory is improving after each trial.

 This is not like an actual experiment, because mostly, people know or memorize is from A-Z but in this, the students critical thinking will be tests, onto how fast they can think, and are they going to meet their given estimated numbers of letters.

III. Methods

1. Objectives

To familiarize the students with some of the logic of research.

1.  Materials/Apparatus

Pencil and paper timer with second hand.

1. Procedures

The experimenter (E) have instructed the subjects (S) to write the alphabet backward (from Z to A) as rapidly as possible.  There had been 5 trials of 30 seconds each with a one-minute rest between trials.  After the fist trial S’s have been reported orally the nummber of letters written and estimated the number in the second trial.  After the second, third and fourth trials S’s reported the number estimated, the number achieve and the number estimated for the next trial.  After the fifth trial only the estimated and achieve score’s are reported.

1. Subject

BSBA Students.

IV. Result

Discussion

        As an experimenter, I am expecting a rising Achieved Correct Answer (ACA) in every trial due to repeating practice but in some instance the respondent often forgot the next letter to be written wihich cause them to forget and fail the number estimated by them. As shown in the graph, mostly , the rising ACA starts from the second until the last trial because from what I have observed, because of the repeating experiment, they get to familarize what letter should be the next, which makes it easier for them to answer the next trial.
