Conclusion

End

Based off results our hypothesis seems to be supported, however there are other factors that may play a large role in influencing the results.

  • If time permitted we could analyze how possible major may correlate to their memorization skills

  • How different speech rates can influence word recall

  • Gender correlations or even age can factor into recall

  • Previous Literature: Put a contextual story behind words to facilitate recall (Brandsford & Johnson)

Analysis

Mean Comparisons

  • Overall Semantically & morphologically related words seem to be easier to recall

  • 5-9 pieces of info in short term memory

  • The type of affix may influence recall [re- seemed to be easier than –able for people]

  • Are the mean scores that significantly different?

  • Controlled environment, test one person at a time
  • Different experimental design–influence of order [sequence effect]
  • Filler
  • Directions were not clear
  • Less ambiguous word choice (accept vs. except)
  • slower speech rate
  • Time limit for recall

  • Memory- lexical retrieval and discourse comprehension are highly dependent on memory, both short-term & long-term
  • Short Term Memory
  • Working Memory
  • Phonological Loop
  • Morpheme Productivity
  • Interface between STM & LTM

College Students

  • Male: 23
  • Female: 37

Average Age: 19

Prompt: Have a computerized voice read a list of related words and ask for recall. Do the same for a list of unrelated words (McElree).

Subjects: College students age 18-24

MacBook Speech & Dictation Software: Speech Rate Setting

Pretest: We tested the voice software by gathering a group of people and playing sets of words for them to memorize. Upon completion of the pre-test, we decided to change some of the words presented in the study.

We hypothesize that semantic and morphologically related words will be recalled more easily than just morphologically related words.
