A cognitive psychologist wants to investigate whether physical posture during study sessions affects memory recall in young teenagers. Rather than focusing on digital learning platforms, they want to see if students perform better on memory tasks when using standing desks compared to traditional sitting desks. The study is scheduled to take place at a secondary academy with 180 pupils in Year 7.
