4. My reaction time improved as I went on because sense perception helped me to be prepared for what was going to happen so that I could react faster. Though on trial three where my scores start to descend, I think it was a result of over stimuli, seeing the same thing over and over and not being able to react as fast because the dots don't process through the brain as fast as they did when I played for the first time.  Reason didn't affect my score because I didn't notice any reason or pattern in the way the dots popped up.

7. Synthesesia is a condition where the senses seem mixed up. This is because the brain perceives experiences and attaches different, wrong, senses to them. For example, someone could listen to music and certain sounds evoke their taste sense. Or some people see different colors when they hear music dependent on the note or tone.

8. I think that another WOK other than hearing that is involved when listening to music is reason because people have to have reasons for why they find some music more pleasing than others.

12. The Stroop test is when colors are shown in different colors than their names and you have to read the color not the name. Knowing gets in the way because the brain perceives words faster than it perceives colors and by knowing the color names the brain picks up on them immediately thus making it hard to isolate just the color itself. This can be tested when there is writing, but not all the words are written  some of them may be substituted as numbers and people can still read the sentences. This is because the brain knows the words and therefore can perceive them with the littlest information. Also, selective attention plays a factor in reaction time because people are taught to pay attention to the words when they first learn how to read, not the color of the text so when you're asked to do the opposite the brain automatically goes to perceive the word, even without the person wanting too, before the color.
