Method of Loci Experimental Design
To test the method of loci, a researcher instructs an experimental group to use the technique to memorize a list of items, while a control group receives no specific instructions. Finding no significant difference in recall between the groups, the researcher concludes the method is ineffective. Which potential flaw in the experimental design most likely accounts for this outcome?
A
Overlooking individual differences in spatial and visual memory abilities
B
Ignoring the importance of mental imagery in memory enhancement
C
Misunderstanding the role of associative memory in the method of loci
D
Underestimating the need for practice in using mnemonic strategies
