- 1aimwhether doodling assists information processing by enabling people to attend more effectively or by enhancing their memory
- 2research method & designlaboratory experiment
independent measures design - 3IVdoodling
- 4DVmemory recall:
monitored information & incidental information - 5operational definitionscorrect answers - false alarms
=
final score - 6how was counterbalancing implemented in this study?it was used with regards to the DV where half of the participants were asked to recall monitored information first while the other half was to recall incidental information first
- 7nature of the tape recording (phone call)1. lasted for 2.5 minutes
2. speed of 227 wpm
3. monotonous voice
4. comfortable volume - 8contents of the phone callnames of 8 people who were attending and 3 who were not
1 cat named (not attending)

20 + 20 participants in each group, primarily female and aged between 18-55. - 11why were participants chosen to take part in the study immediately after participating in another experiment?the factor of having already participated in another experiment prior would have added to the participants' boredom and fatigue increasing validity of the Andrade's findings
- 12the primary and concurrent tasks in the proceduremonitoring the telephone call
doodling - 13standardised instructionswrite down the names of people who probably or definitively will attend
ignore the names of those not attending & do not write down anything else - 14standardisationinstructions, recorded telephone call, standard doodling sheets
- 15explanation for why doodlers performed better on both the monitored and recall taskseither doodling improved attention
or
it enhanced memory by enabling deeper information processing - 16mean scores on monitored information for the control group7.1 with a standard deviation of 1.1
& 5 false alarms - 17mean scores for monitored information for the doodling group7.8 with a standard deviation of 0.6
& 1 false alarm - 18overall mean scores for the control and doodling groups5.8
7.5 (29% more than the control group's overall mean) - 19ethical issues under considerationinability to provide fully informed consent, deception and debriefing as a substitute for ethical practices
- 20sampling techniqueopportunity sampling
