A researcher carried out a study with two groups of participants.
In Group A, 10 participants were given one list of 25 everyday objects to learn. Then they
were asked to write down the objects they could recall. The researcher recorded how many
objects were correctly recalled.
In Group B, 10 participants were given one list of 25 everyday objects to learn. Then they
were given a second list of 25 everyday objects to learn. None of the objects on the second
list were also on the first list. After this, the researcher asked the participants to write down
the objects they could recall from the first list only.
The researcher recorded how many objects were correctly recalled from the first list.
