1. you can replicate some easy and simple experiments such as The Stroop Test or simple Memory tests. This link will show you some ways to : https://www.verywellmind.com/a-short-term-memory-experiment-2795664?print
2. You are free to modify these simple experiments if you wish to.
3. Are the Stroop and Memory tasks suitable for a repeated measures design (same person can try out both tasks) or must they be an independent groups design (person can only complete one of the tasks)?
4. In the Memory task should you vary the order of delivery of the lists of words to remember; that is, for one participant the list of unrelated words comes first followed by the list of related words, and for the next the list of related words is presented first then the unrelated ones? Can you think of a reason why a researcher may want to do on some tasks in some experiments?

1. Identity the independent variable.
2. Identify the dependent variable.
3. Try to find some participants for your experiment (yes, you can be one of them and so can your family members, relatives, or friends who want to participate). 10 is a good number but we will be flexible given the constraints of the online setting.
4. Are you using a repeated measures design (same participants in both tasks) or an independent groups design (participants complete only one of the tasks)?

Calculate the means of the two groups of data; that is, for a Memory task, what's the average number of words recalled by people who try to recall the list of unrelated words vs the average number of words recalled when people try to recall the list of related words. If you use the Stroop test, then calculate the average time it takes to complete the Stroop test when words match the colour vs when they are different. Note you are only doing one of these experiments (Memory or Stroop) or an experiment of your choice

1. Construct a bar graph to show your results. (not a hand drawing please)
2. Discuss the findings and how they relate to what you've learned in the chapter on memory and learning.
