hey guys, i was wondering has anyone seen the research conducted by Meyer & Hillerbrand, 1984; in the book, i have not managed to find it, only in references, i need it for my ERA. many thanks in advance.
-
What is it called? Is this for Learning?
-
its for memory, recall/recognition of the names of 7 dwarfs.
-
I checked the Grivas textbook but it was only mentioned briefly:
You may be able to recognise the names of the seven dwarfs if the following questions was asked: "Which of the following are names of Walt Disney's seven dwarfs?
a) Bashful
b) Happy
c) Grumpy
d) Pop
e) Sleepy
f) Goofy
g) Dopey
h) Sneezy
i) Doc
j) Grouchy
Recognition inivolves identifying the correct information from among alternatives, such as in the question above. Genenerally we can retrieve more information when tested by the recognition method than we can with the recall method, because the recognition method provides more cues that assist in the location and retrieval of information from long-term memory.
Research findings support the view that recognition is a more sensitive measure of memory than recall. In one study, researchers asked university students to recall the names of the sevn dwarfs with no cues. Participants were able to correctly identify a mean of 68% of the names. When they were given a list of alternatives from which to select the names of the seven dwarfs, the accuracy rate increased to a mean of 86% (Meyer & Hillerbrand 1984).....
There was no mention of the study in either Nelson or Heinemann books... Sorry if that wasn't what you were looking for :S
