Participants in an Experiment Were Asked to Keep Track of the Most

question 54

Multiple Choice

Participants in an experiment were asked to keep track of the most recent word they had heard that started with a "G." Therefore, participants should report "gravy" after hearing the sequence "girl, grump, hat, scissors, whistle, pen, radio, bed, foot, glass, lantern, gravy." Later, participants are asked to report back all the "G" words they had heard. Then we would expect:

• A) good recollection of all the words because participants were able to concentrate their attention on the task and rehearsed only one word at a time
• B) poor recollection of all the "G" words because the situation invites maintenance rehearsal
• C) good recollection of "grump," since this word was in the participants' thoughts for a long time (while they were waiting for "glass")
• D) poor recollection of the early words in the list but good recollection of the words in the middle of the list
