Instructions

The trainee told the participant that she will read a list of paired words in front of

him. He has to carefully listen to the list. The trainee gave one second gap between two words

and three seconds gap between two sets of words. At the completion of the list the trainee

repeated the first words of the list and asked the participant to state their pair. Three trials were

done in the same way and scores were recorded in terms of easy and difficult pairs.

Behavioral Observation

The participant was wearing jeans and shirt and his attire was weather appropriate.

Overall he had a casual look. The participant listened keenly to the task and looked excited for it.

He was smiling at the start of the task and did not seem nervous. As the words were recited in

front of him, he listened carefully. He remained excited even when he was asked to repeat the

words. When he was not able to remember a word, he looked frustrated and started moving his
hand. In second and third trial, he was more attentive, seeming to rectify his mistakes. At the

end, he was really keen to know his scores.

Qualitative Interpretation

The participant made some mistakes in first two trials but was able to remember all

the words in the third trial. Surprisingly, the participant did not make a mistake in difficult pairs

but was not able to recall some words in easy pairs. In first trial, he scored 8 which shows his

good memory but is score gradually increased and got to 10 in last trial. This shows that when

information is repeated more than once, the human brain is able to memorize all of it.

effectiveness of learning through association of words. In addition, this test also concluded that

human brain has the capability to remember the information that is frequently repeatd.
