Investigation and Analysis
For this, you will provide a 300-600 word answer to a statistics question:
A psychologist has tested the concept of “state-dependent learning” from cognitive psychology. This concept is based upon Tulving’s (1973) Encoding Specificity Principle, which states that information is encoded more optimally when it is recalled in the same environment (i.e., internal state and/or physical place) that is was remembered in. Godden and Baddeley (1975) found that when deep-sea divers were asked to remember information – either on land or underwater – the highest recall performance occurred when the environment and recall setting matched.
The psychologist is interested in a new way of helping students revise. She asked three different groups of students to learn facts about statistics as applied to psychology in three different environments: (a) their home, (b) a classroom, and (c) an exam hall. She then measured their rate of error (a score ranging from 0 to 2, with 2 being high) on questions for all groups in the exam hall. Based on the literature, she suspected that more similar he learning environment is to the recall environment (i.e., the exam hall), the fewer errors the students will make.
What impact do the different learning environments have on the error rate? Analyse the below data (using SPSS) and present a brief report outlining your findings. All SPSS output should be included in an appendix.
Attached the below data set as an Excel document so that it is easier for you when it comes to inputting the data into SPSS.
