Serial Position Effect ERA

Hey Everyone,
My class has to an ERA tomorrow based on the serial position effect.
We conducted an experiment where we the students were given a list of fifteen words which we had to recite to our participants. After all 15 words were recited the participants had to freely recall the number of words they could remember.
What would the IV and DV be for this experiment?
Thanks

IV: Position of the words on the list (either the start, middle or end of the list).

DV: The number of correctly recalled words from the list of 15 words.

Think of the IV as the cause and the DV as the effect and you can pretty much do any IV/DV question. :)

ERA's are not that difficult to be honest, look at the marking criteria and use it as your Bible try to write the ERA beforehand and follow each point and making sure you are getting highest mark for each point.
