Hi,
I'm a masters student struggling with the design of my cognitive psychology project.
We wish to run an experiment where we examine false memory recall using a list of schema related nouns in a future planning task x 2. So the future planning of two different scenarios. One that is realistic i.e. planning a holiday and one that's unrealistic i.e. robbing a bank. When they're imagining the scenario they write down the list of words they would use from planning the holiday (the lists will have words that are related and unrelated). Then they have a recognition test after some distraction task. The recognition task will include lure words that were not included in the previously studied lists.
We are thinking of a within-subjects design so is this a 2x2 ANOVA with repeated measures or a paired samples t-test?
I have been reading the text book for days and just cannot decipher the rules!
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Ruth
Can you give me an example of your data table and tell me what your dependent variable is. thanks, David Booth
Presumably the response unit is the individual word presented at test and the response they make is either "old" or "new." The word has a number of characteristics (bank, holiday, false, overlap, and their interactions) and these would be fixed variables and a random intercept for the participants' bias to say "old" plus interaction with this and the fixed variables. So this is a multilevel logistic regression and it is used in false memory research (here is a brief description on p. 1079-1080 of Article Conformity effects in memory for actions
).So, the short answer is neither of those.
