As a psychology researcher, I would design an experiment to study the effects of music on memory retention in college students. In this experiment, participants would be divided into two groups: one group listening to classical music while studying, and the other group studying in silence. After a designated study period, both groups would take a memory test to assess their retention of information. This experiment incorporates the concept vocabulary words of independent variable (type of music), dependent variable (memory retention), control group (studying in silence), and experimental group (listening to music). By analyzing the results, we can determine if music has a significant impact on memory and cognitive performance in students.
