Hypotheses and Capacity

Today we spent some time consolidating our knowledge of hypotheses. All the relevant info is in your textbook and the RM booklet. You need to be able to confidently use the following terms:

- null hypothesis
- alternative hypothesis
- research hypothesis
- experimental hypothesis
- two-tailed hypothesis (non-directional)
- one-tailed hypothesis (directional)

We also traced the history of research into the capacity of our short-term memory. The powerpoint is here and we ended up concluding that it is all probably a bit more complicated than Jacobs thought in 1887.
