This chapter presents the conclusions from the results of the data analysis from
Experimental study on the Cognitive Function of the Senior High School students of The
Rizal Memorial Colleges, Inc. The researchers conducted the experiment using
flashcards seek answers to the questions to be able to achieve the objectives of study.
The researcher used experimental method with 20 participant which compose of 10 male
As it follows, the data being gathered was analyzed to know the results and to
Conclusions
Based on the observed p-values for number of cards correctly recalled the hypothesis,
that brief muscle exercise increases working memory, is not supported by the data
in the study. The difference between pretest and posttest of brief muscle exercise and
short-term memory recalled tests value was calculated and compared between male and
female participants. This finding does not support our hypothesis and arose from data
and statistical manipulations, but it does provide an interesting basis for further studies.
Another consideration is the amount of time for exercise. Due to time constraints, the
participants in this study exercised for a total of five minutes. This period of exercise was
Recommendations
Based on the results and conclusions of this study, the following recommendations
between exercise and memory. Some suggestions for further directions and
memorization test is novel to all participants, a different test should be used. Other
previously used memory tests include the free recall test (Coles and Tomporowski, 2008),
which would control for previous knowledge by requiring participants to recall as many
objects as possible from a common list. Using such a test may present more novel stimuli
In addition, the set up of the study could also be improved. Due to the time allotted
for this experiment, six different participants were used in each of the conditions. This did
not control for memory differences naturally occurring between people – some people
Lastly, an improvement for future experiments would include performing the entire
distractions from affecting the test. A methodological change that would control for these
memory differences among individuals would be to have each participant complete each
of the two manipulations and analyze if the participant’s memory improved with exercise.
If, across all participants, memory increased after exercise, a convincing conclusion could
be drawn.
