Bower and colleagues (1969) asked some participants to learn hierarchically organized words. Other participants were asked to learn the same words arranged randomly. All participants were later required to recall the words. Word recall was the _____ variable in this study.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is dependent variable.

Explanation:

In correlational studies, an independent variable is expected to affect a dependent variable. In this example, the word order is predicted to influence the word recall. We could also express: the word recall depends on the word order.

An easy way to remember the difference is to say: independent causes change in dependent.
