Abstract
This study investigates the effect of color on short-term memory retention through a simple flashcard-based assessment. The experiment conducted in Conestoga High School’s Unity Day, randomly assigned participants to two treatments: colored or non-colored flashcards. Participants were instructed to recall the ten words presented to them twice within a 30-second interval. A one-sided two-sample t-test and two one-way ANOVA tests were conducted to determine if there was a difference in the memory retention for the colored flashed card and non-colored flashcard groups and if there was a difference in the memory retention amongst 9th, 10th and 11th graders for the colored flashcard and non-colored flashcard groups respectively. The results were statistically insignificant but limited by convenience sampling and premature stops in the experiment. Future points of interest include larger sample sizes, teacher-student differences and the association of academic intellect with memory retention.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
