the reward is independent. It is the cause and can be manipulated or controlled by the examiner.
the word number recalled are dependent, the effect, presumably dependent upon the reward (hypothesized), and can't be manipulated by the examiner.
The number of words recalled are ratio data, since 0 is meaningful.
