Multiple-choice test on basic material

Here is a multiple choice test for you to attempt. There are 30 items and I would expect that most departments would give you an hour to sit the test. Hence try to time yourself and answer within the hour. Answers are given only after you have submitted an answer to each question and you will then receive a score out of 30 and your percentage score.

The material tested is basic and only two condition statistical tests are involved. Hence, it would be appropriate, in many universities, to the first year, semester or term of methods teaching.

Study for use with questions 5–19

Participants were allocated at random to two conditions of an experiment. In one condition, participants were asked to learn a list of 15 words while reciting a string of digits. In the other condition, the participants were asked to learn the words but with no digit recitation. Both groups were tested for recall a short while after learning the words.

Digit recitation condition	Control condition
Participant	Correct words recalled	Participant	Correct words recalled
A	8	K	11
B	11	L	12
C	8	M	8
D	12	N	14
E	6	O	13
F	4	P	12
G	8	Q	15
H	13	R	12
I	5	S	13
J	7	T	13

The researcher predicted that digit recitation would interfere with word recall.  The difference between recall scores in the digit recitation and control conditions was found to be significant with p < .05
