Hello!
How are you? Here is a post as support for your final presentation theme background and possible topic choice(s).
This goes with the textbook unit for A英1 on sports psychology and for B英1 on cognition. So if your group is doing any topic related to these themes, this post might be to your interest.
Do you know what these cards are at the top? They are called Zener cards, and they were first used for experiments in parapsychology (超心理学) in the U.S. in the 1930s.
A researcher in parapsychology named Joseph Banks Rhine made this experiment famous. He worked with an assistant named Karl Zener, who designed the cards. They wanted to prove the existence of ESP (extrasensory perception).
The experiments with these cards were found over the years to have flaws, and very few people in psychology now take this experiment seriously.
As future applied scientists, you should know that this is of course not scientifically valid. I do not put this here to make it look valid, or to make you believe in this. It is strictly for fun, and that's all. But it may be interesting to see how it works, and to play this as a game. Let's check it out!
Activity
Watch this video. Watch it with your group - do not make any notes - but you will need pencil and paper to record your scores!
Your partner(s) will test you on how much you remember the order of the Zener cards with this video. You will test your partner(s) in the same way.
There's no talk on the video. It's silent, so it should be no problem to follow it. Let's get started!
How well did you do? I hope this may be to your group's interest if your group is doing anything related to sports psychology or cognition.
