title: A CASE FOR THE USE OF MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS IN CONCEPT GROUPING, DOMINANCE LEVEL, AND SEX AS RELATED TO VERBAL RECALL.
abstract: Effect of concept grouping (A), dominance level (B), and sex (C) on immediate venbal recall was investigated using a univariate and a multivariate analysis of covariance (ANCOV and MANCOV) respectively, with digit span as a concomitant variable. 138 adult Ss, 56 males and 82 females, participated in this experiment. The MANCOV in 23 factorial design showed A, C, and A x B as significant beyond the .05 level. The covariate effect was also significant. The confounding of the variance due to the neglect of sex effecbs and the lack of appropriate analytic technique in t.he previous studies using concept forma4ion materials are proposed to account for the differences in results.
