Detailed explanation-1: -The study by Andrade was done in 2010. Several studies have been done to investigate the effects of doodling. Some suggest it helps maintain arousal while others suggest it may reduce day dreaming. The study used an independent measures design (Control or Doodling group) and was laboratory experiment.
Detailed explanation-2: -Research method: Laboratory experiment. Experimental design: Independent Groups. Independent Variable (IV): Doodling and Control Group. Dependent Variable (DV): Mean correct recall, false alarms and memory scores.
Detailed explanation-3: -The independent variable was whether they doodled or not. The responses to the 2 tasks to measure recall, was the dependent variable. They were in a dull quiet room. Participants were told that they would be tested on the names of the partygoers-Monitoring task.
Detailed explanation-4: -The independent variable was if the participants were in the ‘doodling’ or ‘control’ condition. The dependent variable was the number of correctly recalled names.
Detailed explanation-5: -The study by Andrade (doodling) aimed to show that doodling while performing a boring task improves the concentration with which the task is performed. Doodling increases the accuracy with which a task is performed. Doodling increases the rate of daydreaming as a task is performed.
