A lab summary regarding the experiences of rosenweig and diamond
Rosenweig/ Diamond lab report Problem: Does the environment of an organism affect its problem solving skills/brain activity? Hypothesis: enriched environments will yield better problem solving skill, whereas impoverished environments will yield inferior ones. Procedure: A sample group of rats will be randomly assigned to either a cage similar to that of a pet, in which toys games and ladders will be placed, or similar to that of a lab setting, a plain cage. The rats will then be subjected to a series of problem solving tests and the two groups will be compared. In addition their brain activity will be monitored.
