42. ***RECALL THE LIST***

43. Data Analysis
For each list, count the number of words recalled starting with the letters:
A-H
I-P
Q-Z

44. Data Analysis Let’s get some data: A-H (categorize) I-P (count e’s)
Q-Z
(rhymes with)
List 1
List 2

45. Data Analysis
What we should see is that the “count e’s” and “rhymes with” tasks change places.
For visual presentation, rhyming was harder.
For verbal presentation, counting e’s was harder.
