Peer Review for Kaitlin Jones
In this concerned peer review paper a particular research proposal will be reviewed and
then evaluated. In this connection the research proposal chosen is “Gender Differences and
Category Set in Free Recall” by Kaitlin Jones.
In the aforesaid research proposal the author has proposed two specific hypotheses. The
first hypothesis is that, participants who are exposed to a related category set will actually take
less time in anagram solution than those participants who are exposed to unrelated category set
(Jones, n.d.). The second hypothesis is that, those female participants who are exposed to a
related category set will actually take less time in anagram solution than male participants and
particularly than those male participants who are exposed to a related category set.
It should be interesting to observe that the author has made the ground for reaching the
hypotheses in the very introductory part of the research proposal in which she has already
discussed about the role of gender in memory recall in a thorough manner. It should be noted that
in the introductory section the author has already mentioned the importance of the variable of
cognitive style in the context of influencing the problem solving process in an explicit manner.
Prior to reaching the hypotheses the author has also considered and discussed about the gender
factor in relation with problem solving. Moreover, hinting on the hypothesis that would be
proposed the author, in the introductory section of the proposal, has stated that “Dealing with
problem solving in life is often where male and female differences become very apparent”
(Jones, n.d.). Besides, the author has also introduced the readers to lateralization hypothesis to
make the ground for her own hypotheses that have been proposed later on.
The author has taken much care while composing the methodology section in specific so
that the readers can understand how the research question has been addressed and how the
