Claim ID
save-vs-erase-recall
Assertion
In a between-subjects experiment, participants who believed that statements they typed into a computer would be saved had significantly lower recall of those statements than participants who believed they would be erased; the effect of an explicit instruction to remember was not significant.
Quote
A between-subjects 2 (saved or erased) by 2 (explicit memory instructions versus none) ANOVA revealed a significant main effect for only the saved/erased manipulation, as those who believed that the computer erased what they typed had the best recall, omnibus F(3, 56) = 2.80, P < 0.05
