Question 108

A psychology student carried out a laboratory experiment to investigate the effect of word concreteness on short-term memory recall. She used an opportunity sample of 25 participants.

Two lists of words were read out to participants:

  • List 1 (Concrete Nouns): Apple, Chair, Table, Book, Bicycle, Clock, Flower, Window
  • List 2 (Abstract Nouns): Truth, Pride, Justice, Grace, Belief, Theory, Wisdom, Mercy

All 25 participants listened to List 1 and immediately tried to recall as many words as possible. Next, they all listened to List 2 and immediately tried to recall these words.

Write a non-directional hypothesis for this experiment.
