HEADS DOWN!

I am currently working on the slides which will be created through 

                   POWERPOINT

HMM... I am also wondering wether or not using random numbers/letters instead of the same set would be better... would this make it a fairer test?

METHOD

A female year 10 student was seated in a comfortable upright position. A prepared slide of eight red letters was shown. The subject was given 30 seconds to memorise the letters. The subject wrote down eight letters. The accuracy was recorded as a percentage. A prepared slide of eight red numbers was shown. The subject was given 30 seconds to memorise the numbers. The subject wrote down eight numbers. The accuracy was recorded as a percentage.The experiment was repeated with another fourteen female year 10 students (fifteen altogether). This entire process was then repeated with five more lots of fifteen students (all female and in year 10). With each group, a different colour was used – orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. Averages were then recorded.
