b.What research has already been conducted?
c.What studies are similar and different? Discuss these! Compare and Critique
d.Why should more research take place?
e.How could this research benefit the literature/society?
f.HYPOTHESIS:
g.“Participants’ who hear the naturalistic auditory distraction will take significantly longer to respond to the choice reaction time task when compared to a control.”
