1. Which article did you choose to read.
2. What was the authors' research question?
3. Did you find the question compelling? Why or why not?
4. What experimental methods did they use to answer their question?
5. Were their methods appropriate to answering their question? Why or why not?
6. What results did they find, and what conclusions did they draw based on their results?
7. Were the conclusions that they drew from their results valid?
Please suggest a new question in this line of research, and propose how it could be tackled experimentally. (Anybody who uses PsychoPy to build a draft of their experiment idea will receive some sort of extra credit, TBD.)

The article I did is by Chen and Scholl et al. (2016), "The perception of history: Seeing causal history in static shapes induces illusory motion perception." It explores whether the perception of shape entails the perception of time. The authors studied and tested whether the perception history in statics shapes can induce an illusion of motion perception.
The authors' research question was, Do people actually perceive history even in static shapes? This question is compelling because of two reasons. The first reason is that the question alludes to the use of past events to determine current perception. This is a strong point considering that the world is dynamic, and determining the relationship between past static events and the current world is crucial. It helps inform how the world is changing.
Secondly, the question is compelling because it is short and clear, thus easy to understand. One element of research is having an easy-to-understand research question. This helps researchers design their survey questions with simple and easy-to-answer questions. This, in turn, helps the respondents to give precise answers.
However, the research question is too narrow despite it being compelling. It would serve better if the authors used two research questions or expanded the existing ones to include how people perceive history, which could be positive or negative. For example, the authors could include what influences ...
