Demonstration 3: Meaning Enhances Recall

In the third demonstration Dr. Anthony show the student a card with word on it and each card will have letter A or B at the bottom left of the card. And after every card is shown he wants us to write it down on a piece of paper by memorization. If the card have letter A on it he want us to tell the syllables and if it shows letter B he want us to tell whether the word is pleasant or unpleasant.
The hypothesis of this experiment is the student could remember words with letter B more than letter A on the card. My result is I could remember 14 words with 5 words that got letter A on the card and 9 words with letter B on the card. And the result for the class is bimodal, which means that there are to modes, which are 15 and 10 words. And the mean would be around 15 to 16 words. For the result of letter A and B, 3 student could recall words with letter A more than B, 4 student got same results, and 9 recall words with letter B more that A. This shows that the hypothesis is correct.
