  3. Process Diagram Music Exercise Words Recalled Percent of problems correct Noise: Mishearing, interruptions and mixing words with previous trials

  4. Procedures • 1. Start Music/Exercise/Timer • 2. Read the words twice • 3. Ask math problems • 4. Recite back words from memory

  6. Results - Raw

  7. Coded Results Music Exercise Y = 6.356 - .8Xa + .606Xb + .45XaXb

  8. Other results Words Math

  9. Predictions Y = 7.25 - .75*-1 Y=.88 - .03*-1 Y = 6.356 - .8Xa + .606Xb + .45XaXb Y = 6.356 - .8*-1 + .606*0 + .45*-1*0

  10. Conclusion • The exercise had a negative effect on remembering words, and no effect on math problems • The music had a positive effect on remembering words, and no effect on the math problems

  11. Future Research • Different types of music • More words or a longer delay • More intense exercise • Compare genders
