In the second part of the study, the psychologists analysed the data to see if there were differences in reading medium preference between Year 4 and Year 6 pupils. The psychologists observed the first 10 minutes of free-reading time for each pupil. They classified the reading preference as either 'digital' (reading on tablets or e-readers) or 'print' (reading physical books). The results are set out in Table 3 below:
| Reading Medium | Year 4 Pupils | Year 6 Pupils |
|---|---|---|
| Digital | 11 | 5 |
| 4 | 10 |

Practise AQA A Level Psychology Research methods with exam-style questions for A Level Psychology. 100 questions covering Experimental method, Observational techniques, Self-report techniques, Correlations, Content analysis (A-level only), Case studies (A-level only), Scientific processes, Data handling and analysis, and Inferential testing (A-level only), 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.
