An educational psychologist conducted a study to investigate whether a "method of loci" mnemonic strategy is more effective than standard rote repetition for memorising a list of historical facts.
The calculated value of U U\,U was found to be 9.
| N1N_1N1 | N2=5N_2 = 5N2=5 | N2=6N_2 = 6N2=6 | N2=7N_2 = 7N2=7 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| 6 | 5 | 7 | 8 |
| 7 | 6 | 8 | 11 |
Using the information provided in Table 1, explain whether the method of loci was significantly more effective than rote repetition.
