In a cognitive psychology experiment, a researcher investigated the effect of room temperature on short-term memory recall. Using a repeated measures design, a sample of 10 participants was asked to study and recall word lists under two conditions:
The number of words recalled correctly by each participant under both conditions was recorded.
Table 2: Recall scores (out of 20) under Condition X and Condition Y
| Participant | Condition X (Warm Room) | Condition Y (Cool Room) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 12 | 16 |
| 2 | 16 | 18 |
| 3 | 10 | 14 |
| 4 | 17 | 19 |
| 5 | 14 | 15 |
| 6 | 11 | 12 |
| 7 | 19 | 20 |
| 8 | 9 | 13 |
| 9 | 14 | 15 |
| 10 | 12 | 15 |
Calculate the mean values for both Condition X and Condition Y. Show your workings.
