Because it was the independent variable being manipulated
|
|
|
To facilitate conditions where “expectation” of information could be tested in how it affects recall
|
|
|
To avoid deception and get informed consent
|
|
|
So that all participants don’t offload their knowledge to transactive memory
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Sparrow et al.’s simple study shows that when we do not need to rely on our own memories to store information because we know the information will be stored elsewhere then this will reduce our memory of that information.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sparrow et al. (2011) showed that individuals were worse at recalling information that had been stored in external memory than information that had not been stored on the computer.
Detailed explanation-3: -The use of experimental methods is a key advantage of Sparrow et al.’s (2011) research, because most of the studies conducted on digital technology and cognition rely on correlational methods and self-report procedures, neither of which allow for the establishment of cause-effect relationships.
Detailed explanation-4: -The results of four studies suggest that when faced with difficult questions, people are primed to think about computers and that when people expect to have future access to information, they have lower rates of recall of the information itself and enhanced recall instead for where to access it.
