Bean+Passes

The rate of the beans being passed changes depending on which fingers are used. UR1 & UR2 was the combination of fingers with the fastest rate of bean passing. As the combination of the fingers change, the rate gets slower. I think this is because we are not used to positions like UR4 & UR5. For example, when to pick something up , your most likely to use the combination of UR1 & UR2. Some errors we had was dropping the beans while passing them. I think this is because our brains were being slow in processing the movement of the combination of the fingers we were using because we aren't used to the positions. Another error might be when the rate or pattern we're passing the beans changes. For example if your going in a pattern of passing the bean 5 times in 2 seconds, and suddenly your partner passes the bean slower than usual, it'll be harder for you to take the bean and pass it back because its different than the rate you were usually going. This also goes with the concept of adaptation. Once you adapt to something, it takes longer than usual for your brain to process when this changes. You brain gets used to do one thing and takes more time to process when it changes because its not used to it.


 * 1) How does the number of beans being passed change as your finger combinations change?
 * 2)  – What are some conclusions you can develop from looking at this data?
 * 3)  – What might 2 or 3 sources of error that occurred during this experiment?
 * 4) HOW DOES THIS LAB DEMONSTRATE “ADAPTATIONS”?
