Abstract
Introduced concept of priming.
“In a typical priming study, people tend to respond faster or more accurately to stimuli they have seen before” (Bernstein and Nash 139).

Hypothesis
Exercising memory by playing a memory game prior to taking a memory test will lead to a higher score on that test.

Operational Definitions
Independent Variable:
The playing of Simon prior to taking the memory test.
Dependent Variable:
Score on the memory test.

Guidelines For Collecting Data
6 Participants split into 2 groups. Primed Not Primed
Participants cannot be involved in a math course.
Memory game (Simon) played for 3 minutes.
Participants allowed to view memory test for 30 seconds.

Interesting Facts
Most Remembered Computer- 6 Guitar- 5 Butterfly, House, Lock- 5 each
• primacy effect
Least Remembered Telephone- 0 Plane- 1 Kite- 1

Conclusions
Primed group remembered more pictures than the non-primed group.
The difference was significant. Average number of primed: 12.6 Average number of non- primed: 9.3

Future Experiments
Allow participants to view pictures for longer amount of time.
Increase playing time of memory game.
By changing the experiment, the number remembered by each group may change.
