Determining Whether Color Affects Memory
CSEF · 2006 Behavioral Sciences
Overview
Objectives/Goals My objective to my project is to make it easier for students to study. The easier it is to remember what you're reading the better you'll do on a test. Methods/Materials The list of things that I needed to complete my project were twenty-four student subjects, color test sheets(colored papers with five letter words), answer sheets(the page where the student writes down the words), and a stop watch. Results My results showed that the boys scored better on the purple and worse on the orange. The girls scored better on the red and also worse on the orange. In total they all did the best on purple and and the worst on the orange. Conclusions/Discussion In conclusion the color paper that contains information will most likely affect the amount of information that is remembered.
Summary statement
My project is about finding out whether colored paper affects the way you remember the information on that paper.
