Sample
AO1: Sample
• Sample: 39 in total. Ages 17-56. 17 females and 22 males.
– (It was 40 but one set of results were removed)
• Why is it a problem to let researchers remove participants from
their sample:
– Laboratory experiment:
– Snowball sampling:
Research Method
AO1: Variables
• IV: Matched or Mismatched
– Matched: - learning in silence and testing in silence or
learning with noise and testing with noise.
– Mismatched: - learning is silence and testing in noise or
learning in noise and testing in silence.
• DV: memory
– a short answer recall test out of 10
– a multiple choice recognition test out of 16
• Difference between IV and DV:
Research Method
AO3: How data was gathered
• Why do cognitive psychologists often use self report:
– Mismatched:
Results
Table to show the mean reading time (in minutes) for the
matched and miss-matched conditions

Silent test 15.0 13.8
Noisy test 11.8 14.0
– Memory cues:
