Dr Fernald Is Conducting a Memory Experiment

question 121

Multiple Choice

Dr. Fernald is conducting a memory experiment. One group of participants has to decide whether each of a list of words begins with the same letter as a target word; a second group has to determine whether each of a list of words rhymes with a target word; finally, a third group has to determine whether each of a list of words is a synonym or an antonym of a target word. Later, all participants are asked to recall the list words. According to the levels of processing framework, which group will perform the best and which group will perform the worst?

• A)best - synonym/antonym group; worst - same letter group
• B)best - same letter group; worst - synonym/antonym group
• C)best - rhyme group; worst - same letter group
• D)The theory suggests that the groups should perform equivalently.

Definitions:

RC Parallel Circuit

An electrical circuit configuration consisting of resistors (R) and capacitors (C) connected in parallel, affecting current and voltage differently.

R

Symbol commonly used to denote resistance in electrical circuits, measured in ohms (Ω).

Power Factor

The ratio of the real power flowing to the load to the apparent power in the circuit, indicating how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output.

RC Parallel Circuit
