PSY305e-Cognitive Psychology

Question 1

State the following:

• Two independent variables and the levels within each variable

[Hint: If, for example, “gender” is the independent variable, then “male” and “female”

are the levels within the variable.]

• Dependent variable

• Predicted outcome (experimental and null hypotheses) 

Question 2

Present a screenshot of your results (graph) and a screenshot of the global data (graph), and compare the results. Determine whether or not the individual and global data support the experimental hypothesis. [Word limit for Q1 and Q2 = 200].

Question 3 

Examine the experimental rationale behind the CogLab Encoding Specificity experiment and discuss the implications of research in this field and how they can be applied to help students, possibly like yourself, achieve better academic results?
