Experiment Replication

I really liked this assignment. Projects really help me learn a lot better than just reading in the book, and they are quite a bit more interesting. Katie and I chose to replicate an experiment on how information provided after an event can shape the memory of an eyewitness. Sadly, our data did not match up with the original experiment, but I suppose that that is experimentation. Our data had such a wide spread of values, though, that our replication really wasn't valid at all. I definitely think we needed more mature test subjects for this experiment to be replicated exactly.
