Question

Twenty- four participants worked on the identical spatial ability task, but six of these individuals were led to believe that the task was of low difficulty, six were led to believe that the task was of moderate difficulty, six were led to believe that the task was of high difficulty, and six were not given any information about the task’s difficulty. Scores could range from 0 to 10, with higher values indicating better task performance. The data follow:

8 6 4 4

7 7 1 5

5 4 2 5

8 5 4 6
