An educational psychologist investigates whether low-intensity physical activity during encoding affects memory retention. A group of participants is asked to memorise a list of 25 abstract nouns. One group memorises the list while walking on a treadmill at a constant speed of 5 km/h, while the other group memorises the list while sitting stationary. Recall is tested 10 minutes later for all participants in a quiet, seated environment.
State a fully operationalised, directional hypothesis for this cognitive psychology investigation.
