The goal of the study was to assess whether OSPAN is potentially useful (You can’t definitively say it is or is not because we haven’t covered the necessary statistics yet) But you will have to: Provide descriptive statistics (detail on this is discussed below) Discuss whether you have a good range of scores or whether the scores are all too similar The first page is an APA-style cover page. It should have a title that accurately conveys the content; a title such as “APA Style Results Section 1” is not acceptable. For the second page is the results section you should present a precise, accurate, and concise description of what you found. • Should have “Results” section header • Write a paragraph or two describing the data • Focus on being clear, precise, and concise • Because the assignment calls for you to make a frequency distribution chart, make sure you mention it For the descriptive statistics, you should include the following: Mean, median and (if there is one or two) the mode Standard deviation Range and interquartile range Skew You should also include a frequency distribution chart. Make sure you follow the suggestions from the lecture on what leads to good and bad charts. As a rule of thumb, if you accept the defaults in Excel, it will most likely not be a very good chart. The first worksheet shows all of the data (i.e., it is the raw data) and if a line is blank, it is where I deleted information from a non-native speaker of English. The second worksheet shows each person’s scored data. You should report the dependent variables: OSPAN and Proportion of words correctly recalled. Also, decide which other information to report (make sure it is relevant).
