Research Scenario 2
A researcher is interested in whether certain memory strategies help people to remember information. This researcher employs students from a local college, and then randomly assigns them to one of three groups—the visualization group, the mnemonic technique group, and the rote repetition group. Participants in each group receive an hour of instruction regarding how to use the particular technique to remember lists of words. After the instruction, all participants are presented with a list of 60 words that they are instructed to remember. The words are presented one-at-a time on a computer screen. After the last word is presented, all participants are instructed to recall as many words as possible by writing them on a blank sheet of paper. All participants are given 10 minutes to recall the words.

    • Provide the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.
    • Indicate which type of analysis would be appropriate to answer this research question. Be specific and support your answer using the textbook or other course materials.
    • Name the independent and dependent variables used in the analysis. What are the levels of the independent variable?
    • Indicate the levels of measurement for each variable.
    • Describe the Type I error for this study.
    • Describe the Type II error for this study
Hint
In hypothesis testing, there can be 2 types of errors, type I and type II. Type I error is the rejection of null hypothesis when it is actually true. While Type II error is not rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually false. The probability of Type I error is alpha, while the probability of Type II error is known as beta. Wrongly rejecting a null hypothesis is considered more serious as c...
