Question 22 – Practical activities - OCR Psychology Questions

Active Learning?

There is ongoing debate about how physical movement affects memory consolidation. A cognitive psychologist wants to use the laboratory experimental method to investigate whether a brief, 10-minute period of moderate-intensity cardiovascular exercise (using a stationary exercise bike) immediately after a study session improves foreign vocabulary retention in adult learners compared to a control condition of 10 minutes of quiet, sedentary rest.

Explain how you would conduct a study using the laboratory experimental method to investigate whether post-study physical exercise improves foreign vocabulary retention compared to quiet rest. Justify your decisions as part of your explanation. You must refer to:

the experimental design you would use
how you would operationalise the dependent variable (DV) in a way that would produce quantitative data
one ethical consideration you would take into account.

You should use your own experience of practical activities to inform your response.
