Morris One-Up Study

The Morris One-Up Study is a research project that explores how individuals' knowledge enhances their learning and memory. In this study, participants are exposed to information, and then they engage in a task that prompts them to recall or apply what they've learned. The study investigates the "one-up" effect, where individuals who have greater expertise or deeper knowledge about a topic outperform others in learning tasks. This highlights the importance of prior knowledge in acquiring new information and shows how a strong foundation can improve understanding and retention in various subjects.
