question 43

Multiple Choice

The "total time" hypothesis states that the more time an individual studys, the more that person will learn. From this hypothesis, a cognitive psychologist predicted that if a group of students studied a list of words for 10 minutes and another group studied the same list for 5 minutes, the group studying for 10 minutes would later recall more words than the other group. After conducting the experiment, the psychologist stated that the total time hypothesis is accurate. A basic argument has been made because it:

• A) does not ask the participants to accomplish an impossible task.
• B) states a set of claims that are based on a theory.
• C) makes a claim with support from psychological research.
• D) involves two groups of experiment participants, rather than just one group.
