Details

Recall scores for 24 children who have been randomly assigned to one of four experimental conditions where there are 6 children in each condition. The experimental conditions of interest are 1, 2, 3, and 4 minutes where the number of minutes is the amount of time the child is allotted to study a list of words before attempting to recall the words. The dependent variable (i.e., the recall scores) are the number of words the child is able to recall after a brief interference task. The first hypothesis of interest is whether the number of words recalled is linearly related to the number of minutes spent studying.
