Week 7: Research Proposal Integration · Aligning RQ, Conditions, Stimuli, and Evidence
Opening Questions
- Does each study condition produce the kind of evidence our research question needs?
- Where are the remaining gaps in the logic connecting our question, variables, and stimuli?
- How can we communicate the entire proposal as one coherent argument?
Learning Goal
Integrate the research question, variables, comparison conditions, stimuli, and expected evidence into one coherent and traceable research proposal.

- [No separate weekly Homework.] The integrated Sections 1–3.3 revision is part of Deliverable #2 preparation and is evaluated through the Deliverable.
- Deliverable #2 · [Presentation] Mid-term Research Proposal & Stimuli Finalize the presentation deck, all stimulus or prototype links, and the specific questions on which the team wants feedback. Submit before class. View Deliverable #2 · [Presentation] Mid-term Research Proposal & Stimuli DueOct. 23
- Deliverable 2 Present the research argument developed in the first three sections of the shared master manuscript. The presentation should demonstrate how the research question has been translated into comparable design conditions and testable research stimuli. The presentation is not separate from the research paper. Feedback received during the presentation should be used to revise Sections 1–3 before the team begins writing the Method section. The presentation should reflect feedback received on the Section 3 manuscript draft and research stimuli submitted before Week 7. View Deliverable 2 Due2026.10.23
