Week 2- 2/26/17

So far what we have done for our 20 time project includes...

1. Do some preliminary research on our topic
2. Decide what age groups we are going to test
3. Create a plan for how we are going to test our subjects
4. Contact the elementary school, middle school, and Mr.Kline with information regarding our project

What we are planning to get started with this week for 20 time...

1. Creating a permission form to give to participants to ensure that we are able to use their photos for our project
2. Set up conference/testing dates with the principals of each school

Questions to ask

1. What are the signs of a true liar and how are they different between children and adults?
2. If so at what ages do the signs of lying start to change?
3. Does a person who is a pathological liar have different physical cues as normal people?
4. When children lie are the physical signs more strongly focused on one area?

Week 1 - 2/2/17

The proposal I originally came up with was an idea to try to see if people lie differently when certain senses are stimulated. I got a lot of feedback on this project that includes questions like, how would you test this and comments about the time it would consume. With this feedback I got I decided to change my 20 time project idea just slightly. Instead of testing if people lie differently with different senses stimulated, me and Allie are deciding to test and see if children and adults lie differently.
The process I used to modify this idea consisted of brainstorm, propose, modify, and start research. What helped me to move forward in this process was discussing things with my partner Allie. This helped to get many ideas "on the table" and helped by throwing in a new perspective.
So far I have accomplished choosing an idea that will work as well as starting effective research. The only thing that has "gone wrong" so far is the fact that we had to modify our idea a little bit to make it more achievable.
During next week's 20 time I would like to accomplish more research as well as possibly start practicing how to be a human lie detector and determine how to tell if someone is lying based on not only verbal ques but also physical ques.
