THE RESULTS

So i've finished my srp, and also the purple srp booklet (yayers).

So the results that I got support the hypothesis, which is that coloured text is easier to remember than black text.

The average number of words remembered for coloured text is higher than that of black text.
  • 20.0625 is the average number of words remembered by my subjects for coloured text
  • 16.1875 is the average number of words remembered by my subjects for black text

Now, I just gotta print out my SRP.

YESS!!! I SURVIVED =D

PHASE 2 OF EXPERIMENT: COMPLETE

So yesteryday, I did the second part of my experiment. It's basically the same thing as the first one, except this time, I experimented on coloured words instead of black.

Here is a picture of the experiment:)--------->>


I think a lot of people remembered a LOT more coloured words than they did for black. Which is cool :P.

So now, the experimenting is OVER and DONE (yayers~). Now all I have to do...i start the rest of my SRP (sighs).

PHASE ONE OF EXPERIMENT: COMPLETE =]

So on Tuesday, I did half my experiment at lunch with my 'human subjects'. It was so funny, because everybody was complaining about how they were never gonna remember the words.
I made people read a list of black text, try to remember them, and then try to write them out again. People were complaining about how hard the words are, but overall, people did pretty well. Suprisingly, a lot of people had pretty good memory. 2 crazy people remembered all the words (i dont know how people can do that -.-).
Phase two of the experiment is next week. It's the same thing, except this time with coloured words. :)
Some pictures of the experiment:)
