Document Summary

Nats 1860 note 11: 5% each, one visual adaptive experiment and one audio adaptive experiment, for each experiment, there will be a 2-page pdf that we must print for correct/incorrect guesses. Midterm exam (15%, 30 multiple choice questions: no math questions, there will be a couple of qualitative questions. Which of stimulus conditions produce more of a neuro- developed effect: we get 75 minutes to write it. There will be a 10-15 minute break.
