The Importance Of Words Remember In The Dim Room

Results It was hypothesized that subjects would experience higher frequency in correctly remembered words when in a bright room; it was also hypothesized that words with longer exposure time would have an increased frequency of correct recall. The later hypothesis was supported, but the former was not. Subjects in the bright room (n=15) remember an average of 7.8 words; while the subjects in the dimly lit room (n=15) remembered and average of 8.467 words. Average short words remembered across both room scenarios (n=30) was 3.267; while average long words remembered across both (n=30) was 4.8665. The average percent of long words remembered in the dim room was 58.048%. The average percent of long words remembered in the bright room was 64.015%. The average percent of short words remembered in the bright room was 35.985%, and the average percent of short words remembered in the dim room was 41.952%. Subjects remember 22.062% more long duration words then short. While they remembered 0.667 more words on average in the dimly lit room then in the bright room.
Figure shows the frequencies of words recalled in each room scenario across both the long and short exposure time variable. A significantly higher frequency of words recalled that had a 6 second exposure time. Recalling more long words and less short words was more exaggerated in the bright room scenario. Average number of total words recalled was slightly higher in the dark room group (8.467 words) versus the bright room group (7.8
