A researcher investigates memory performance with 2nd and 6t

  A researcher investigates memory performance with 2nd and 6th graders as a function of the type of story coherence. Specifically, two types of stories are prepared that are identical except that events in one story are logically ordered according to a theory of memory organization whereas events in the second type of story are arranged such that the natural order of the story is disrupted. The subjects receive only one of the stories. Children are asked to recall the story orally after they complete the story. Story retention is scored on an interval scale of measurement. Scores can vary from 0 to 100. There are 5 students per group.
