Marcus decided to investigate the effect of visual imagery on memory recall. He conducted a laboratory experiment where one group of participants was instructed to use the method of loci (visualising items in specific locations) to memorise a list of 30 concrete nouns. A second group of participants was instructed to use rote rehearsal (repeating the words silently to themselves) to memorise the same list of 30 concrete nouns. After a 20-minute delay, Marcus asked all participants to write down as many of the 30 words as they could recall.
State a fully operationalised directional (one-tailed) hypothesis for Marcus's experiment.
