A
  • Questionnaire
  • Open and closed questions
  • Qualitative and quantitative data
  • Independent groups

A

Participants will recall more words from the beginning of a word list of 21 words than from the middle and will recall more from the end of the word list than from the middle.

23
Q

What was the dependent variable of the cognitive practical?

A

Number of words recalled out of 7 at the beginning, middle and end of the word list.

24
Q

What was the independent variable of the cognitive practical?

Q

What was found in the cognitive practical?
