Project Question: My project is to test remedies for "bad breath". Eating garlic and counting colonies in agar with 1% concentration.

1. What are the chemistry and biology aspects of this experiment? Certain topics/concepts that I can research?
2. What is the type of bacteria in our mouth?
3. Is inoculation required? It's not something students can do at home. Solutions?
4. Would the colonies be distinct and easily counted? And after what period(s) of time should I count?

Thank you in advance.
Project Due Date: Project presentation due March 19th. Would like to finish experiment by March 14th
Project Status: I am just starting

Studies related to Stroop

For my Psychology internal assessment, I will need to cite two or three studies related to the Stroop effect in my introduction. Whose studies can I incorporate? In my introduction, I talk about the anterior cingulate cortex, inhibition, automaticity, and the speed of processing theory.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi,

I looked up 'stroop effect' on Google Scholar and got a number of different studies you could use for your introduction: http://scholar.google.se/scholar?q=stro ... G=S%C3%B6k . You may need the help of a librarian to actually get the papers, but you should be able to read at least the abstracts online.

Oh wow, thank you so much. I wish I had known about Google Scholar earlier. I knew about several studies but I didn't know which were the best to use and dreaded searching for the original documents.
