This year, one student presented research at WPUPC hosted by Grove City College.

| Leah M. Fitzgerald: While it is clear that humans are capable of recognizing randomness in their environments, it is not clear whether humans are capable of intentional randomness. The present study examined this issue by having participants push random buttons on a 7x7 button-grid (150 trials). Results were that participants could not respond randomly. The accumulation of button presses produced by human participants differed significantly from computer simulated ("chance") responses. Participants favored and avoided specific locations on the response grid relative to simulated participants. |
