OK, so I have a science fair project to do and my teacher requires us to have a CONTROL GROUP. But I really don't know what my control group is.. My project is basically just testing females and males to see which of the gender would find the change in the image faster.
EX. http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~rensink/flicker/download/Sailboats.mov
(the engine thing beneath the airplane's wing is the change)
This 'flickering' image is an example for a visual perception called 'change blindness' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_blindness) so,
My question is: Is change blindness more prevalent (popular) in females or male?
My hypothesis is: If change blindness were presented to males, then the time figuring out the image change would be slower. (which would mean that 'change blindness' is more popular to males)
So what would be my control group? Or do I have to change my question a little bit? (if you right click on the ex. there are options you can adjust. Is that my control?)
