Question

we did a study at the beginning of class about memory. if we actually find that the cell available group does significantly worse than the cell unavailable, which students conclusion is the least accurate given what you learned about designs and conclusions?
a ladareon: it was shown that having your cell available during studying harms memory during learning. so don t do it!
b paris: cell availability leads to worse memory during learning than no cell so consider not having your phone on your desk while studying.
c victor: we found that having your cell availability during studying causes worse memory than not having your cell available.
d luke: it was shown that having your cell available during studying is associated with worse memory.

Explanation:

In research, correlation does not imply causation. Options A, B, and C suggest causation (harms, leads to, causes) while option D only states an association. Without further evidence of a causal - relationship, claims of causation are over - reaching.

Answer:

C. Victor: We found that having your cell availability during studying causes worse memory than not having your cell available.
