Image Disposal

From kindergarten to higher education, a student is presented with many different formats of tests. As a result, students may find themselves being more successful on different formats then others simply based on their test-taking abilities. But what kind of test is the most reliable, beneficial, and yields the highest accuracy rate? This paper illustrates the influence on image recall based on the type of test question presented. Simplistic clipart images were used in order to test college student’s memory, along with the influence of various formatting of test questions, age, and major. True/false, short answer, multiple choice, and a recognition test were studied to determine which would receive the most accurate response rate. True/false …show more content…
Each form, contained one of the following tests: multiple choice test, true/false test, short answer test, and recognition test, which served as the control group. The recognition test, which served as a control group contained a different response format, composed of yes/no questions. This format was used to determined if recall was possible in the experiment, and to what level. This group was used The students age and enrolled major at Binghamton University also represented control variables. , had a very minimal influence on the experiment , had a very minimal influence on the experiment The dependent variable represented how well the participants did on the different formats of the experiment. Two different 4x4 PowerPoint tables were also created and projected for the participants through Microsoft PowerPoint. These tables consisted of clipart images of various objects from Google Images. Some examples of images used were a baseball, plane, flower, and a fork. For more accurate results, we provided two different tables, in order to rule out confounding variable such as order and
