5. A researcher tested a group of 11 participants with regards
to their short term memory on a test of a random string of digits.
The collected data was as follows 7, 9, 8, 10, 8, 6, 7, 8, 7, 6, 1
(M = 7, S = 2.32). Use this sample data to,

A researcher is interested in determining if THC affects
short-term memory. He randomly assigns 28 participants to receive
either a THC pill or a placebo before completing a memory test.

A researcher is interested in the relationship between
concussions and short-term memory loss. To explore this
relationship, the researcher collects data on the number of
concussions and number of words recalled on a memory test.
Assume SP = -34
SSconcussions =
58 SSnumber of words
recalled = 27
Interpret the Pearson correlation coefficient between
concussions and number of words recalled in terms of the strength
and direction of the relationship:
Hypothesis testing using Z
statistics:
A researcher is interested in whether short-term memory
in the elderly is different from short-term memory in the general
population. The literature suggests that short-term memory
declines with age.
Population
mean=125
Sample mean=121
Population
SD=10
Sample size=36
Test the hypothesis that the elderly sample has
significantly less short-term memory than the general population.
Use α = .05
State your z-statistic in appropriate APA
format.

A researcher hypothesizes that short term memory predicts
vocabulary knowledge. A random sample of Army recruits is selected
and given the digit span (a short term memory test) and vocabulary
subtests of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). The data
are below. What can be concluded with an α of 0.05?

A researcher studies the effect of the herbal stimulant
Buttercup on short-term memory; she randomly divides a sample of 32
into four (4) groups. Each group receives 0 mg, 500 mg,
1000 mg and 1500 mg respectively and is then tested on their short
term memory span. She finds:

Questions 8 – 13. In an experiment examining
humor and memory, a researcher randomly assigns participants to one
of two groups. Half of the participants saw sentences that were
humorous and the other half of participants saw sentences there
were non-humorous. The researcher measures the number of sentences
recalled and hypothesizes that the humorous group will remember
more sentences than the non-humorous group.
