Andrade Study on Doodling Effects

The document summarizes an experiment on doodling conducted by Andrade. Participants were split into two groups: a doodling group that was given a sheet with shapes to draw on, and a control group. Both groups listened to a dull conversation and were later unexpectedly tested on details from the conversation. The doodling group performed better, recalling more names with fewer false alarms and scoring higher overall on the test, suggesting that doodling can enhance memory for dull tasks.

Experimenter then talked for a minute - apologized for misleading (debriefing)

4. Monitoring task = Test on party-


goers’ names
Recall task = Unexpected test
on places

COUNTERBALANCED
Results
