Instructions for paper
• Abstract – half a page, Intro (Lit review) – 3 pages, Methods 1 page, results half a page or ¾ of a page, Discussion – 2 pages, references (please cite APA style) and include graphs that I’ve provided.
• DO AN INTRO AND SECOND PARAGRAPH GO STRAIGHT TO LIT REVIEW
– Lit review has to tie with the discussion – Summarize but, please include – what does it mean? We replicated the results, it’s clearly a strong effect. But does it apply to real life?
Methods- the main thing is procedure (include everything about controls, balancing the stimuli’s for order, yes or no, randomize the order for response, include practice nobody got confused when the first stimuli came because the practiced showed what everyone had to do, timing was a control every 6 sec, the effect was pretty pronounced, if you find a non-significance it’s only on the interaction, everything is significant), use power-points as reference, subjects fictional as always, materials pretty obvious,
Design – basically within subjects, we ran results etc.
Discussion – don’t talk about refining the process, but more about the validity on the real world. Does this have suggestions on the real world? This is how people should study. Is this a major result that points us to something very fundamental to learning? Should everything be thought out thoroughly (address the articles again in this discussion) if you support them or it can include on opinions. It will be better if it relates to the lit review for this one. (much more opened ended question) How do we learn? Mention interactions & limitations and possibilities.
• Be clear on methods and results, if they did a slight variation (be able to communicate what was done of the articles; example, specific instructions if people wanted to do the experiment what they have to do) most of intro and end of intro – “and we decided to replicate” Do an intro and the second paragraph go straight to lit review.
• Class notes:
– Subject will be depth of process and memory
– Lit review – use the original experiment article, and add two more articles on whatever you find interesting. (I’ve provided two but, if one hard to understand please look for an appropriate one based on the categories below)
– A. Modified it for the computer age. B. we changed the orthographic (anything that has to do with in depth of process and memory.)
– Same results not necessary numerally but
– Free recalls, identification – but the basic difference we understand. Just write down all the numbers you can remember.
1. Discussion – Note limitations and Possibilities – 30 target words mean correct answer. 5 would be correctly answer yes and 5 would be correctly answered no
IN THE DISCUSSION
• Mention that phonemic is superior to orthographic
• We write all of this in the results, semantic processing is superior to phonemic (mention p values)
• SPSS output, semantic was superior in memory performance to phonemic the p values.
– In the discussion/ intro there will be 2 paragraphs one about recall and one about Identification the both are the same except p values change (so, please make sure to introduce the second paragraph for either one stating “similarity for ID (in order to knowledge it’s the same)”
– TO FIND RESULTS – LOOK AT THE EXCELS I’VE PROVIDED
– The numbers are ready to be calculated
– EXCEL – file depth in processing results – it’s already separated by condition
– Get the mean, standard deviation and F
– ADD F (2,93) _
– RUN TEST FOR BOTH IDENTIFICATION AND RECALLS SEPARATE AND WRITE ABOUT BOTH. * significance and mention p values.
– Pick one – you can do LSD, Scheffe, or Tukey (post-hoc)
just say it’s significant, one graph for each condition meaning recall and ID (I’VE ATTACHED THE GRAPHS)
WHEN WRITING THE RESULTS/DISCUSSION MENTION THAT THERE IS 2 CONDITIONS (ID AND RECALLS) & WRITE THE SIGNIFICANCE WITH THE POST HOC YOU TESTED FOR EXAMPLE, TUKEY.
– Introduce graphs in the results and referred them to as “see table 1, in second paragraph introduce the graph as see table 2.” Set the graphs as you write them and label below the graph which one are you using as graph 1 or 2.
