Data Collection by Observations01:08

Data Collection by Observations

12.9K
Data collection refers to a systematic way of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. Observational studies are one of the most widely used methods of data collection. It involves collecting data by observing the behavior and physical characteristics of a sample without making any modifications to the sample.
An astronomer viewing the motion and brightness of stars in the sky and recording the data is an example of observational data collection. A botanist recording...

Data Collection I

Data collection gathers information needed to make accurate judgments about a patient's present condition. During a health history interview, subjective data is collected from the patient, their caregivers, or family members, and objective data is collected through observations and physical assessment. Patients are the primary source of subjective data. Thus information gathered from patients through interviews, observations, and physical examination is primary data. Secondary sources of...

Data Collection by Experiments

Data collection is a systematic method of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. An experimental study is a standard method of data collection that involves the manipulation of the samples by applying some form of treatment prior to data collection. It refers to manipulating one variable to determine its changes on another variable. The sample subjected to treatment is known as “experimental units.”
An example of the experimental method is a public...

Archival Research

16.5K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Data Science

Background:

  • Publicly available data are crucial for assessing research reproducibility and promoting efficient data reuse.
  • Current data-sharing initiatives adequately support reproducibility but not data reuse.
  • Structured open data collections can enhance researcher access to domain-specific data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the Attentional Control Data Collection (ACDC), a SQL database for attentional control experiments.
  • To demonstrate the utility of structured open data collections for research.
  • To analyze data within the ACDC to assess the reliability of individual differences.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a SQL database (ACDC) for attentional control experiments.
  • Creation of a Shiny app and an R-package for easy database access.
  • Analysis of 64 datasets within the ACDC to evaluate the reliability of individual differences.

Main Results:

  • The ACDC database provides structured access to attentional control experiment data.
  • Reliability of individual differences in attentional control is generally low.
  • Low reliability suggests a need for increased trials per participant and condition (e.g., at least 400).

Conclusions:

  • Open data collections like ACDC facilitate meta-analytic efforts and methodological innovation.
  • The ACDC database supports efficient data reuse and enhances the understanding of attentional control.
  • Findings provide practical recommendations for designing future cognitive psychology studies.
