Document Summary
Why did those with handwritten notes do better: because writing or putting the words in to your own words and keeping your mind active will lead to a better memory of material. Generates frequency or association claims: three types. Unlike true experiments, quasi cannot randomly assign for practical or ethical reasons: cannot randomly assign when looking at personal aspects that cannot change (i. e. religion, race, sex) Are generated from non-experimental descriptive studies: no hypothesis is tested. Just describing a certain group: (i. e. , height, clumsiness) to tell the world what this group looks like. Generated from non-experimental related to each other. Correlational just focuses on two variables changing one influences the other to change. We care abour how two variables are related because were interested in prediction: examine relationship between the variables in sample, assume we can use that relationship to predict scores for other people. Correlational studies test hypothesis: direction of relationship, strength of relationship.
