Hypothesis
Eating 20g of white chocolate every day has a higher influence on Lumosity Performance Index (LPI) and brain activity than consuming 20g of dark chocolate per day while playing Lumosity training game twice a week.
Rationale
Two groups from different campuses, which consumed 20g of white or dark chocolate per day while playing twice a week, will be compared. In this case, both groups have similar conditions but the nature of chocolate changes as an independent variable (Weathington, Cunnigham & Pittenger 2010; Johnson & Christensen 2013).
These aspects will contribute to the proof or disproof of the hypothesis due to the presence of the components required for the measurement. Various indicators will be utilized to measure brain activity such as LPI and progress of LPI. The analysis of the development contributes to the understanding of positive and negative fluctuation (Zairi 2012).
In turn, LPI can be defined as the portrayal of brain performance (Fotuhi & Antoniades 2013). In this instance, such matters as speed, problem-solving, memory, attention, speed, and flexibility have to be assessed as independent aspects, as they contribute to the ability of the particular chocolate type to accumulate the progress of the certain aspects while LPI will illustrate the overall image. The evaluation of the features presented above will define the ability to depict a detailed picture of the process while finding whether the proposed hypothesis have a tendency to be present.
