steyvers and hemmer

to investigate the interaction between semantic and episodic memory
what was stevers and hemmers sample
49 pp university californa
what was the iv
length of time pp saw each stimuli
what was the dv
number of correct items recalled
what where the two durations pp saw pic for
2 sec
10 sec
why did researchers choose 2 sec and 10 sec
2- too little to produce epesodic so rely on semantic
10-enough to produce semantic
what where he four different experimental conditions
10,10,10,2,2
10,10,2,2,2
2,2,2,10,10
2,2,10,10,10
what did pp do

hotel
what was findings
short duration -2 - mean 7.75 items recalled
long duration- 10- mean 10.05 items recalled
what did stevers and hemmers conclude
when recalling naturalistic scenes, prior knowladge from semantic memory can aid recall in episodic memory tasks
what is a positive of stevers and hemmer
standerdiesed procedure
what is a weakness
mundane realism
what is a strength
cause and effects= lab studies used to corectly manipulate iv and dv dor desired results - valid internal
