Analysis

We’ll divide up our analyses into four parts, which we’ll tackle and finalize in the few weeks of Module III.

Week 10: Analysis I

Aim: Analysis of Liking (Likert scale) Rating.

  • Ordinal Logistic Regression

  • Answer Hypothesis 3: Did WM load and explicit information affect liking (rating scores)?

Materials: Script

Deadlines for this week (by end of week):

  1. Complete liking ratings analysis

  2. Begin classification of participants

Week 11: Analysis II

Aim: Classification of participants according to whether they fell for the illusion or not.

  • Analysis of open-text responses.

  • Preparation to answering Hypothesis 1: Did WM load, explicit information manipulate rates at which people fell for the illusion?

Materials: Script

Deadlines for this week (by start of class):

  1. Continue classification of participants

  2. Begin programming chi-square analysis & demographic analyses

Week 12: Analysis III

Aim: Analysis of rate of falling for the illusion

  • Chi-square Analysis of frequency of falling for illusion under different conditions

  • Answer Hypothesis 1: Did WM load, explicit information manipulate rates at which people fell for the illusion?

Materials: Script

Deadlines for this week (by start of class):

  1. Complete classification of participants

  2. Complete chi-square analysis

Week 13: Analysis IV

Aim: Explore secondary analyses regarding role of sex, age, musical experience.

  • Summarise demographic breakdown.

  • Examine GSI ratings. (Optional: Examine rate of falling for the illusion given musical expertise.)

Materials: Script

Deadlines for this week (by start of class):

  1. Any final questions about analyses.
