1. TITLE
The effect of word position on recall of non-meaningful words and to determine whether recall of nonsense syllables would be influenced by the position of items.
2. ABSTACT
This experiment is to determine whether recall of nonsense syllables would be influenced by the position of items studied. Sixty participants were selected randomly from Legon and City Campuses and assigned to 2 equal groups respectively. Group 1 (experimental group) were made to learn 16 trigrams (nonsense syllables). With this group, the list of words were presented in the same serial order during each trial for 10 times, after which they were made to immediately recall the same words in the same serial order in which they appeared within 30secs. The same procedure was used for the second group, however they were made to immediately recall in any order. The MS PowerPoint was used to present the words in 2 seconds intervals. A different core sheet was used for recording for each participant.

4. AIM: This research is to determine whether the recall of nonsense syllabus will greatly influence by the position of items studied.
5. HTPOTHESIS: H1 – the recall of nonsense syllabus will greatly be influenced by the position of items studied. But those who
6. OPERATIONAL EFINITION OF TERMS:
5. METHODOLOGY -A total of 60 participants were randomly selected from a level 300 learning class and divided into two groups of 30 each. . The students were divided into two groups: boys and girls. They were numbered from 1-5 and all 5’s were selected. After they were selected, they were grouped into two groups of 30 each. One group being the experimental group and the other being the control group. Those in group one were made to learn a list of 16 trigrams (three-letter combination, also called nonsense syllabus) to a criterion of 10 trials using the study test method. With this group, the list of words will be presented in the same serial order during each other, after...
