Descriptive Statistics:

Answer 3

Allows us to summarise and organise the data.

E.G. Mean, Median, Mode and Range

Question 4

Cued Recall:

Answer 4

Involves the use of specific prompts to aid retrieval and therefore reproduction of the required information.

Question 5

Recognition:

Answer 5

Identifying the original, learnt information in the presence of correct information and distractors.

Question 6

Cued Recall Stats:

Answer 6

Mean: 11.64
Range: 15 (20 - 5)
Median: 11
Mode: 13

Question 7

Recognition Stats:

Answer 7

Mean: 15.65
Range: 11 (20 - 9)
Median: 16
Mode: 18

Question 8

Past Research:

Answer 8

Suggests that recognition provides more retrieval cues, thus is a more reliable measure of retention, a hypothesis ratified by the data.

Question 9

EV 1:

Answer 9

Participant Difference - Higher Number of Females in recognition condition

Question 10

EV 2:

Answer 10

Standardised Instructions - Different Experimenters

Question 11

EV 3:

Answer 11

Participant Differences - Memory Ability

Question 12

EV’S:

Answer 12

1. Name and Explain
2. Effect on DV
3. Prevention of the EV

Question 13

Validity:

Answer 13

Measuring accuracy, whether or not the IV caused the DV

Question 14

Reliability:

Answer 14

Would we generate the same results

Question 15

Conclusion:

Answer 15

Recognition is a more reliable method of retrieval, however it is unclear whether this conclusion is valid as there is a presence of E.V’s which could make the research unvalid.

Question 16

Implication:

Answer 16

How can this information be used in the real world?
