  • We gathered an opportunity sample of participants from the local college
  • It was an independent measures design with students randomly assigned to either doing the visual distractor task or the verbal distractor task
  • We read 15 words to the participants out-loud for 1 minute
  • Participants were then given a 2 minute distractor task. Either a word search where they had to find words or a pair of spot the differences to act as a visual distractor.
  • They then had 2 minutes to recall as many words from the initial list as they could.
  • We calculated the mean for each group and calculated a Mann Whitney U.
