    "Experimental Psychology": Worksheet 6

    Uploaded by

    Annika Yumang
    The study examined the relationship between task-unrelated thoughts (TUTs) and forgetting in working memory. The dependent variable was forgetting in non-verbal working memory, measured by retention intervals, and the independent variable was task-unrelated thoughts. The objective was to determine if TUTs can fully explain time-related forgetting in working memory without external distraction. Undergraduate students participated in 4 experiments using a mixed experimental design. Results showed that TUTs significantly predicted increased forgetting, so the null hypothesis that TUTs have no relationship with forgetting was rejected. Limitations included reliance on self-reports of thoughts.
