We began the chapter with a study by Eysenck (1974) in which he compared the recall of older participants under one of 5 levels of processing. Another aspect of Eysenck's study compared Younger and Older participants on their ability to recall material in the face of instructions telling that they should memorize the material for later recall. (Presumably this task required a high level of processing, which older participants may not do well.) The data on 10 participants in each group follow, where the dependent variable is the number of items recalled.
Younger 21 19 17 15 22 16 22 22 18 21
Older 10 19 14 5 10 11 14 15 11 11
Conduct the analysis of variance comparing the means of these two groups.
(a) Conduct an independent groups t test on the data and compare the results to those you obtained in part (a). Your t should simply be the square root of F.
