Question

A study was done on memory recall for types of nouns and organization of lists. In particular, subjects were randomly assigned to either a group that received 30 high association value (HAV) nouns or a group which received 30 low association value (LAV) nouns. One half of each group received the list of nouns in random order and the other half received the list organized according to categories of nouns.

What design is this study in determining the effect of types of nouns and organization of lists on memory recall?

a) One mean
b) Two repeated measures
c) Two independent means
d) None of the above

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Among the four options given, the correct one;

Two repeated measures

A two-way repeated measures test is also called as ANOVA test.

In this test, the groups are further divided in two halves having same subject under consideration and then the mean difference is taken out between the groups.

In given case, two groups are formed with nouns having HAV and LAV and the each group is further divided in half

A two-way repeated measures ANOVA (also known as a two-factor repeated measures ANOVA, two-factor or two-way ANOVA with repeated measures, or within-within-subjects ANOVA) compares the mean differences between groups that have been split on two within-subjects factors (also known as independent variables).
