recollection via the next exam scores.

a. Extraneous variable
b. Dependent variable
c. Independent variable

Answer 1

What types of variables are the note-taking groups?

The note-taking groups of hand-written notes and computer-based notes are considered independent variables because they are the ones that are being investigated for causing a change in other variables.

Those other variables are better memory and recollection in exams and these will be tested to see if they will change based on the note taking technique.
