Question

The effects of smoking on human performance was investigated using three tasks that differed in the level of cognitive processing that was required to perform them, with different participants serving in each task.

Pattern recognition task - participants had to locate a target on a screen

Cognitive task - participants were required to read a passage and then recall it at a later time

Driving simulation video game

In each case the dependent variable was the number of errors that the participant committed.

Participants were further divided into three Smoking groups

Group AS was composed of people who actively smoked during or just before carrying out the task.

Group DS participants were regular smokers who had not smoked for 3 hours before the task (D stands for delay).

Group NS were nonsmokers.

Pattern Recognition

NS: 9   8   12   10   7   10   9   11   8   10   8   10   8   11   10

DS:   12   7   14   4   8   11   16   17   5   6   9   6   6   7   16

AS:   8   8   9   1   9   7   16   19   1   1   22   12   18   8   10

Cognitive Task

NS:   27   34   19   20   56   35 23   37   4   30   4   42   34   19 49

DS: 48   29   34   6   18   63   9   54   28   71   60   54   51   25 49

AS: 34 65 55 33 42 54 21 44 61 38 75 61 51 32 47

Driving Simulation

NS: 15   2   2   14   5   0   16   14   9   17   15   9   3   15   13

DS: 7   0   6   0   12   17   1   11   4   4   3   5   16   5   11

AS:3   2   0   0   6   2   0   6   4   1   0   0   6   2   3

Compute a 3 (Smoking Group) x 3 (Task) ANOVA

Can one of you PLEASE explain how to put the 3 dependent variables into one column in SPSS?? I don't need help with the analysis.

Answer 1

I think this will help you :D
