Question 1

Which statement is accurate regarding the number-word pairs experiment done by Nelson (1971)?

Accepted Answer

A)  Participants remembered better the number-word pairs that were semantically related than the number-word pairs that were phonologically related. 
B)  When participants were cued with the number and asked to recall the related word,their left prefrontal cortex became active;when they were cued with the word and asked to recall the related number,their right prefrontal cortex became active. 
C)  Despite the fact that participants were unable to recall some of the words paired with the numbers,if a new word was paired with the number,they were less likely to recall it than a word paired with a new number. 
D)  Participants were best able to recall words that were part of word-number pairs at the beginning or the end of the list read to them.
