How does a researcher typically go about conducting a survey-based psychological experiment? this is a valid question, but not suitable for a Q&A format. I would suggest searching amazon.com for a book on 'research methods', or taking a course at your local University. If there is something specific you don't understand in the book, come back and post a new question. As is, this question cannot be adequately answered. |

How does appreciation for music change over time for the same person? I think this is one of those questions where introspection is a legitimate way to answer. As Josh said, "yes". If there is something more you would like to know, please edit your question. Otherwise, I think closing this question might be appropriate. |

What happens neurobiologically when people “think fast”? is there any reason to believe 'thinking fast' is the product of particular brain areas or neurotransmitters? |

Is StackExchange.com Addiction Dangerous? dangerous how? spending too much time on SE may be detrimental to your social life. but you're also helping a lot of SE consumers. what exactly do you want to know? and can you form the question in such a way that requires a concrete, objective answer? otherwise i vote to close. |

When one activity makes you less distracted doing another activity? as is, i think this question is too broad. yes, 'things' can help people focus on other 'things'. in the psych literature, it's called attention. it's worth noting that caffeine (in tea) can cause increased attention. so perhaps that plays a role in your case. (in fact, this may be a viable question if you limit this to possible effects of tea on attention) |

Is it possible to distinguish recall and calculation? @Pavel by computation i meant calculation (as opposed to recall), whose meaning i inferred from fgregg's question. |

Is it possible to distinguish recall and calculation? No, latency is not necessarily the only way, just the most obvious. Imaging might help-- as I mentioned, there are ACT-R models of arithmetic, and a corresponding ACT-R "brain hypothesis", which translates a model into fMRI predictions, so you could use that, or another free-standing experiment. not sure if the temporal resolution of fMRI is good enough or not. you could also look at error rate, if there's some reason to believe certain operations are more error-prone than others. there are probably other possibilities as well... |
