practical

• experimental hypothesis

  P's will recall more semantically similar words out of 10 than acoustically similar words
• IV & DV

  IV = type of word

  DV= number of words recalled out of 10
• Results (mean)

  acoustic similar - 6.3

  semantic similar - 6.6 >
• After pilot study


  put dnd sign on door for no interruptions/distractions
• Next time

  spread P's out to stop cheating
• significant?

  critical value = 8

  18>8 so no

  accept null
• Ethics

  consent form, reminder of right to withdraw, confidential
• P design & sampling method

  repeated measures so no P variables

  Opp sampling - people in 6th form centre

  NOT representative or generalisable
