Recall of concrete and abstract word pairs: a study of word concreteness effect Abstract This experiment studied the effects of concreteness of unrelated noun pairs on free recall. Paivio’s Dual Coding Theory suggests that memory can encode information in verbal or non-verbal forms‚ depending on the format of the information‚ and word concreteness has additive effect on memory performance. This experiment explored whether concrete words are better recalled than abstract words. The design was

Philosophy Ego Theory and Bundle Theory Derek Parfit’s views on personal identity and the Ego and Bundle Theory are all summarized in his article “Divided Minds and the Nature of Persons”. In his article‚ Parfit explains the distinction between Ego theory and Bundle theory and provides several arguments against Ego Theory. Although it proves to be very difficult to believe the Bundle Theory‚ Parfit’s critique is convincing and well thought out. In order to defend the Bundle Theory of personal identity

1. What is a scientific theory? Please cite a definition you like. As Watson stated in "The Value of Theories"‚ a scientific theory is a systematic explanation that unifies various observed phenomena and facts. Based on observations we make‚ science operates under theories which are constantly revised and checked by experiment. A scientific theory also possesses many vital qualities for true understanding. 2. What is the difference between a scientific theory and common sense ideas about the same
