Question 33

Dr. Vance's Working Memory Study

Dr. Vance conducted an experiment to investigate the influence of cognitive interference on working memory capacity. Participants were required to recall a sequence of 15 spatial locations displayed on a screen. They completed the task under two different conditions: a "No Distraction" condition and an "Auditory Distraction" condition (where they listened to random numbers being read aloud during the retention interval).
