are more errors made in remembering the stimuli, among
these two types of stimuli used (CVC). Also, when a correct response is
given, which was the type of stimuli (CVC) that caused this to occur.

The design of this experiment on verbal learning has both within-
subject and between-subject variables. The within-subject variables are
the words (CVC) that are stored in the computer which are the default words
to be used. The between-subject variables are the number of stimuli used
and the choice of the stimuli using the experimenters own words (CVC). The
independent variable for this lab is the number of stimuli presented and
the type of stimulus word (CVC) that was used, being both randomized and
meaningful. The dependent variables are the number of errors made and the
mean correct response latency (speed of responding).

Number of errors will be highest in the randomized ordered stimuli,
and the speed of responding will be slower in the randomized ...

change any of the parameters.

For the first part of the experiment, the number of stimuli was
changed (option 1) from ten to seven stimuli. The stimuli (CVC) used in
this part of the experiment were in a randomized fashion. Listed below are
the parameters for the first part of the experiment and the words (CVC)
used :

1) Number Of Stimuli = 7
2) Inter-Trial Interval = 3 sec.
3) Maximum Stimulus Presentation Time = 5 sec.
4) Duration of Correct Answer Display = 5 sec. 5)
Completion Criterion = 3 Totally Correct Trials.

CVC Used In Randomized Fashion From Default Settings:

Stimulus Word 1) TEF
2) ...
