AP Research
Methods
-
Testing memory
-
Make sure students are given distraction after memorizing info. The test should not happen immediately after the list is shown.
-
Give a video/in-person lecture and determine the number of main ideas that students are able to recognize
May also require student's ability to recognize main idea from other information so the main ideas has to be signposted.
Purpose of notes
They are used when reviewing information. It is already proven that the more students review, the better that they get.
Lecture Material/Topic
Has to be something students could understand, yet have minimal prior knowledge about the topic.
-
The lecture rate also matters. When students are handwriting, the lecture speed as to be relatively slow for the students to easily capture the information.
Qualitative Analysis
Should survey be done about student's perspective of using iPads to take notes? Do they view it as a source of distraction?
Limitation: Lab setting
Students will behave differently if there is a reward vs. when it doesn't have an influence on their grade. They might not take the experiment seriously
Questions
Reviewing notes is proven to enhance memorization of information, but what would be the amount of time and the term for the period of time that best allows students to retain information?
In one experiment, one group was tested right after and another group was given time to review. The students who were tested right after taking notes scored better.

Theories
-
Visual-motor information relates to memory retention and free recall as note-taking allows students to memorize visually rather than focusing on the information.
Because note-taking is one of the activity that is tested to require the greatest cognitive effort, or concentration skills, it would help students to obtain more understanding and information from the lecture.
