Maze Experiment Analysis

The transcript describes an experiment led by Dr. Schultz, a neurologist, to test if injections can enhance learning in rats. The rats undergo various tests, including a maze and shape recognition, to measure their learning speed and memory. Despite the tests being challenging, the rats, especially one named Justin, show significant improvement. Justin attempts to escape, revealing the experiment's impact on their intelligence and the researchers' interest in their progress.

What was Dr. Schultz's main goal in experimenting on the subjects?

• To see how they react to different foods

• To test their physical endurance

• To find out if certain injections could enhance learning

• To measure their strength

Who were the two younger people assisting Dr. Schultz?

• Tom and Anna

• George and Julie

• Peter and Susan

• John and Mary

What sensation did the subject feel when stepping on the wrong part of the floor during the maze test?

• A cold sensation

• Electric shock

• A tickling feeling

• A sharp pain

What was the purpose of the maze in the experiments?

• To test their reaction to light

• To test physical strength

• To measure intelligence and memory

• To see how fast they could run

Why did the subject continue to run through the maze despite knowing it was a trick?

• To find other subjects

• Because of an instinct to run

• To escape the cage

• To get food

What was the shape recognition test designed to teach?

• How to avoid electric shocks

• How to recognize different shapes

• How to escape the cage

• How to find food

What did the subject wish for during the experiments?

• To get more injections

• To see their family and old home

• To get more food

• To have a bigger cage

What was Justin's plan when his cage was opened for injections?

• To find food

• To hide in the corner

• To run and explore for an escape route

• To attack the researchers

How did the researchers react to Justin's escape attempt?

• They calmly observed and took notes

• They ignored it

• They were very alarmed

• They immediately caught him

What did Dr. Schultz believe about the A group of subjects?

• They were only 20% ahead of the control group

• They were 300% ahead of the control group in learning

• They were not learning at all

• They were the same as the control group
