Appendix 8 Abstract The aim of this experiment was to test the idea that effort and not levels of processing determine memory trace. Specifically to partially replicate the study by Tyler (1979) in which there were two groups each given a list of anagrams of the same words. However one list is harder to solve than the other, an unexpected recall test is then given. He found that the group with the harder anagrams recalled more when given a recall test than the group given the easy anagrams. So ten participants were selected, five were given a list of easy anagrams to solve and the other five were given the hard list of anagrams to solve. They were then given an unexpected recall test. The percentage of words recalled from the correctly solved anagrams was recorded. A Mann-Whitney U test was...
