Please help with my psychology research hypotheses?

[darling]

Dependant variable: Memory/Recall
Indep. Variable: Concrete and abstract words.

Hypothesis: People recall words/information better if it is concrete (table, chair, monkey) as opposed to abstract (large, fast, busy).

OR>>>If separate sets of word lists containing concrete and abstract words were given, then it is likely that the concrete words will be better remembered.

Which hypotheses makes more sense???

Do you have a better one???

the 2nd one is more proper.

my example: When given words list with concrete and abstract words, there is a higher chance that the concrete words will be remembered...(because they have something to think of...?)

I would say that the concrete variables would be easier and more uniform in remembering. A table is a table to everyone, regardless of size, but concepts, or abstract variables, fast, slow, rough are a matter of perception and knowledge. Saying a wall was 8 feet high is pretty straight forward. Now saying that that 8' wall is finished in stucco, crosses over to abstract. The grass is green - no problem, the grass is Kentucky bluegrass variety? Open for debate.
