Question: Stephen Schmidt (1994) conducted a series of experiments examining the effects of humor on memory.

The humorous sentences were then presented to one group of participants and the nonhumorous sentences were presented to another group. Each group was then given a test to determine how many sentences they could recall. Data similar to those obtained by Schmidt are shown in the following table.
