I would have two kids for lyrics and 2 kids for no lyrics, per grade level. ]]> 2020-04-08 00:38:32 UTC https://padlet.com/slsan714/6vzjwog9lxl1/wish/497802717 slsan714 https://padlet.com/slsan714/6vzjwog9lxl1/wish/497802926 I would give the students 20 words to memorize over the course of 10 minutes with no music. After the 10 minutes, they would write the words down and only count for correctly spelled words. I would go back to them two weeks later with another set of 20 words and ask them to study the new words while listening to their preferred style of music and have them take the quiz again.]]> 2020-04-08 00:38:49 UTC https://padlet.com/slsan714/6vzjwog9lxl1/wish/497802926 slsan714 https://padlet.com/slsan714/6vzjwog9lxl1/wish/497803350 My explanatory variable is what type of music each person listens to.]]> 2020-04-08 00:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/slsan714/6vzjwog9lxl1/wish/497803350 slsan714 https://padlet.com/slsan714/6vzjwog9lxl1/wish/497803564 My response variable will be how many words more the student was able to score while listening to the music.]]> 2020-04-08 00:39:45 UTC https://padlet.com/slsan714/6vzjwog9lxl1/wish/497803564 slsan714 https://padlet.com/slsan714/6vzjwog9lxl1/wish/497803716 My control group is the first initial test all the students do without listening to music.]]> 2020-04-08 00:40:00 UTC https://padlet.com/slsan714/6vzjwog9lxl1/wish/497803716 slsan714 https://padlet.com/slsan714/6vzjwog9lxl1/wish/497803878 The blind in the study is the initial test of everyone not listening to music and memorizing words.

The kids in the next round of testing that we’re listening to music with lyrics scored higher by 2.75 words on average while the group that listened to music with no lyrics scored higher by 3.5 words on average. Statistically, I think music without lyrics is a more beneficial way to study than without any music at all but replication of this process can be used to further prove the results found correct.]]> 2020-04-08 00:42:00 UTC https://padlet.com/slsan714/6vzjwog9lxl1/wish/497805129
