A research team is investigating the impact of room temperature on the short-term memory retention of taxi drivers. Specifically, they want to compare whether a cool room temperature (18∘C18^\circ\text{C}18∘C) leads to a higher recall of street names from a newly memorized map compared to a warm room temperature (26∘C26^\circ\text{C}26∘C). The study is to be conducted with 80 licensed taxi drivers.
