Dr Aris conducted an experiment to investigate the effects of articulatory suppression on spatial working memory.

She recruited 9 participants from an undergraduate psychology cohort. Each participant was presented with a $\times 4\,$ grid containing 12 highlighted target locations.

The experiment consisted of two conditions:

Condition A (With Articulatory Suppression): Participants had to repeat the words "one, two, three" rapidly and continuously aloud while trying to memorise the target locations.
Condition B (Silent Control): Participants memorised the target locations in silence.

Immediately after presentation, participants were asked to recall and mark the target locations on a blank grid.

The results of Dr Aris's experiment are shown in Table 1.

Calculate the mean number of target locations recalled correctly in Condition A.

You must give your answer to one decimal place.
