1. What is your hypothesis?
If a person has a high ability to retain short term information, then they will provide better eyewitness accounts.
2. Identify the dependent (produced), independent (manipulated) and control variables in your hypothesis.
Independent (manipulated): Time it takes to complete card game test (seconds)
Dependent (produced): Score accuracy on eyewitness test (percent on test)
Control: A random sample of 22 people
3. What is the connection between your science fair project and your senior project EQ?
"Several things fall In place nothing is Guaranteed in Winning ... We cannot tell a Client we will win its not a for sure thing but we do the following : Question any and all witnesses, Negotiate deals and terms with Prosecutors that may result in reducing charges and lesser sentence, we suggest alternatives tht a judge may consider we provide yo with honest assessments of where your case is Headed and your alternatives to avoid trial. We attempt to create "Reasonable Doubt" in the minds of the jury." According to Barbara Jean McAtlin, eyewitness testimony is an unreliable form of evidence. With over 5,000 wrongful convictions each year being mistaken because of eyewitness identifications. This being said that eyewitness should not be done during a trial. “Did the eyewitness really see the criminal? Or, did s/he only see someone who resembled him/her?”

4. How will you perform the experiment? Include the equipment you plan on using.
I will first test a person's ability to complete a card game test designed to test short term memory (http://www.funbrain.com/match/). I will record the time it took them to do so. Then I will ask that person to watch a video and answer a questionnaire. I will then record their percent score. Lastly, I will graph the data to see if people who perform well on the card game test also perform well on the questionnaire. From there, I will research WHY my experimental results turned out they way they did.
5. Which category will your project be listed under?
