ABSTRACT
Researchers looked at the effect of mnemonic strategy and the nature of the list of words to be recalled upon recall.
the overall mean = 9.3
the overall variance = 4.07931
the overall SD = 2.01973
The Total Sum of Squares is the sum of the squared deviations of each score from the overall mean. It can also be found from:
Total Sum of Squares = overall variance × (N − 1)
where N is the total sample size. Therefore,
Total Sum of Squares = 4.07931 × (30 − 1)
= 118.29999
The Total Sum of Squares can be split into:
The Sum of Squares for the first IV (SSA) The Sum of Squares for the second IV (SSB) The Sum of Squares for the interaction between the two IVs (SSAB) The Sum of Squares within groups (residual or error, which is the error term for the other three Sums of Squares) (SSerror).
