Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dependent variable in a yes/no recognition test measures recognition accuracy, such as the number of words correctly recognized (A), the number of new words incorrectly recognized as old (B), and the proportion of words recognized (C). Listing words in the correct order (D) measures recall, not recognition, making it unrelated to the dependent variable in a recognition test.
