For my experiment I decided to watch TV while I performed the experiment, I kept the experiment in my peripheral vision as I was watching television. My reaction time slowed significantly while I watched TV, probably because I needed to visually concentrate on both things.

I thought it was interesting that the difference between both reading times was significantly larger than the difference between the negating times. I think that perhaps the break to commercial had an effect on my reaction time, as the show that I was watching went to commercial during the negation test, maybe because I was less interested in the TV during commercials, my time went down.
