Compare And Contrast Rote Learning And Word Association Methods
The word association training method may be more effective than the rote learning method because it involves more elaborate cognitive encoding. Because the word association training method required participants to cognitively pair each noun on the list with another word or image, whereas the rote learning method only required participants to repeat the list of nouns, word association method may have forced those participants to engage in more elaborate cognitive encoding which resulted in more words recalled. The study contained shortcomings regarding the failure to measure the baseline recall capabilities were for the participants in each group. Because it is possible that the participants in the word association training group had better

For example, secret service agents are required to protect government officials by remaining on the lookout for potential threats, and police detectives are required to interrogate potential suspects. Consequently, both secret service agents and police detectives need to be able to read the nonverbal cues of others to determine whether someone is a threat or a suspect. Therefore, since it has been well-established that deception can be detected based on nonverbal cues, the frontline officers may have possessed an advantage in detecting deception because their job requires reading the nonverbal cues of others. Consequently, this would explain why the second planned contrast revealed a significant difference between front-line officers and the other groups, because the other groups may not rely on reading nonverbal cues for their job. Subsequently, the secret service agents may have made significantly more correct identifications than all of the other groups because they read the nonverbal cues of others the most, which translated to a greater ability to detect
