A cognitive psychologist noticed that university students have different preferences for how they take notes during remote lectures. Some students claim that handwritten notes help them remember information better than typing notes on a laptop.
Design an experiment to test the following hypothesis:
‘People who write notes by hand while listening to a lecture will recall more factual details than people who type their notes on a laptop.’
In your answer, you should refer to the following and justify your design decisions:
Practise AQA A Level Psychology Experimental method with exam-style questions for A Level Psychology. 32 questions, matched to the AQA A Level Psychology (7182) specification and written in Paper 1, Paper 2 and Paper 3 style. Every question includes a full worked solution and mark scheme, so you can see where marks are awarded rather than just whether you got the answer right.
