assignment, you will run yourself in an experiment that explores how the amount of information you can manage in primary (working) memory might be impacted by how long it takes to say the words you are trying to maintain in primary memory.

Run yourself in the Coglab experiment Word Length Effect (1 point). Answer the following questions:

1. What were the independent and dependent variables in this experiment (2 points)?
2. In the global data, describe the dependent variable as a function of the levels of the independent variable (2 points). What can we infer about the way the phonological loop works with respect to the phonological store and articulatory control process (2 points)?
3. Five words were presented in each list in this experiment. What would you predict if we ran the same experiment with only two words in a list (1 point)? Why (2 points)?

The assignment will be scored with respect to accuracy and clarity of the responses.
