Abstract The aim of this experiment was to discover whether people are more likely to remember words or images. The experimental hypothesis was that there will be a significant difference in the number of words given in a list of 10 images or words; the null hypothesis was that there will be no significant difference between the number of words or images recalled, any chance will be due to chance factors. A laboratory experimental and repeated measures method was used to gain results for images and words recalled. There were a total of 20 participants, picked from an opportunity sample. The results were analysed using the Wilcoxon test, and were not found significant at the level of 29.5>13 for a one tailed test. In order for the experiment to be significant, the level of significance should be <13. This concludes that there is no significant difference between words and images recall.
