Lab Instructions

Instructions: Imagery Group

(Told to the participant)

This experiment concerns how well you can remember words. I will read you a list of word pairs (for example: water—bird). After I have read the entire list to you, I will give you the first word from each pair (for example, water) and you will give me the word that was paired with it (for example, bird). Also, I will be giving you the first word from each pair in an order that is different from the order in which the list will be read originally. So don’t try to remember the word pairs in order.

When you are trying to learn the word pairs, try to form a mental image (picture) of the two words going together. For example, if the word pair was water—bird, you might form the image of a bird sitting in a pool of water. Try to form such an image for each word pair.

Are there any questions?

Instructions: Rehearsal Group

(Told to participant)

This experiment concerns how well you can remember words. I will read you a list of word pairs (for example: water—bird). After I have read you the entire list, I will give you the first word from each pair (for example, water) and you will give me the word that was paired with it (for example, bird). Also, I will be giving you the first word from each pair in an order that is different from the order in which the list will be read originally. So don’t try to remember the word pairs in order.

When you are trying to learn the word pairs, say each word pair over and over to yourself. For example, if the word pair was water—bird, you would say “water—bird, water—bird, water—bird,” and so on, until I read you the next word pair. Rehearse each word pair in this way.
