Question 1

A researcher investigated the effectiveness of the 'Method of Loci' (a mnemonic strategy using visualization of physical locations) on memory recall.

In Group A, 25 participants used rote rehearsal to memorize a list of 10 grocery items. In Group B, 25 different participants were instructed to use the Method of Loci to memorize the same list of 10 items.

The results are given in Table 1 below.
