Meeting With Dr.John Charlton

Tuesday 9th October 2007
We had a meeting yesterday with Dr.John Charlton. As a group we were worried about how to test our results in the future. It was all well for us to create a good piece of work only for it to fall flat in terms of scientific analysis. We expressed our concerns to one of our group markers , Brian Morris, who pointed us in the direction of Dr Charlton. The reason for this was Dr Charlton was an expert in the area of Psychology and was also carrying out an experiment in games as well. We discussed how he was going about collecting data from his results and it soon became clear that we could not do many of the tests as the budget for doing this was high. He gave us a clear cut method which the Psychology industry has used for years, but more importantly , this was a valid scientific method. We felt as a group that the meeting was very valuable in both gaining resources and just generally having a chat about our two different investigations.
