09:40An interactive activity of judging words based on their living/non-living nature and height was conducted. The results showed that participants were more successful in recalling words that were judged based on their living/non-living nature.
12:36Participants were asked to recall the words from the list. The results varied, but many participants were successful in recalling a significant number of words.
14:09Participants were asked to recall if they remembered more words from the living/non-living judgment or the height judgment. The majority of participants reported remembering more words from the living/non-living judgment.
