Dr Aris decided to investigate the effect of environmental context-dependent cues on memory retrieval. He conducted a laboratory experiment where one group of participants learned a list of 25 medical terms in a quiet study room and recalled them in the same quiet study room. A second group of participants learned the same list of 25 medical terms in the quiet study room but recalled them in a noisy cafeteria. After a 20-minute delay, Dr Aris asked all participants to write down as many of the medical terms as they could remember.
State a fully operationalised directional (one-tailed) hypothesis for Dr Aris's experiment.
