Question 125

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:

  • Condition X (Warm Room): Studying a list of 20 words in a room heated to 26∘C26^\circ\text{C}26∘C.
  • Condition Y (Cool Room): Studying a different, counterbalanced list of 20 words in a room cooled to 18∘C18^\circ\text{C}18∘C.

The number of words recalled correctly by each participant under both conditions was recorded.
