retrieval failure

    Cards (33)

    • What is the title of the section discussed?
      Retrieval failure
    • What does the theory of retrieval failure argue?
      Forgetting occurs without appropriate cues
    • How does the encoding specificity principle relate to memory recall?
      It states cues must match the encoding context
    • What are the two types of forgetting due to absence of cues?
      Context-dependent and state-dependent forgetting
    • What is context-dependent forgetting?
      Forgetting due to different environmental contexts
    • What is state-dependent forgetting?
      Forgetting due to different internal states
    • How do external cues affect memory recall?
      They can trigger memories if they match
    • What happens when cues are completely absent during recall?
      Forgetting is likely to occur
    • What role do internal cues play in memory retrieval?
      They relate to emotional and physiological states
    • What is the impact of mood on memory recall?
      Mood can enhance or impair recall
    • How do external and internal cues differ in their effects on memory?
      External cues are environmental, internal cues are emotional
    • Why might memories appear to be forgotten?
      They may be inaccessible without proper cues
    • What is the significance of the encoding specificity principle?
      It emphasizes the importance of matching cues
    • How can one improve memory recall based on these theories?
      By using relevant cues during retrieval
    • What might happen in a classroom setting regarding retrieval failure?
      Students may forget information without cues
    • What is the relationship between cues and memory availability?
      Cues can make memories more accessible
    • What is the main focus of the discussed theories?
      Understanding why forgetting occurs
    • What can be inferred about memory and cues from the material?
      Memory is highly dependent on available cues
    • How does the absence of cues affect memory in different contexts?
      It leads to varied levels of recall failure
    • What is the overall theme of the section?
      Forgetting due to retrieval failure
    • What are cues available at learning encoding?
      Cues available at learning encoding
    • How do cues at learning encoding differ from those at retrieval?
      Cues at encoding differ from retrieval cues
    • What leads to retrieval failure in a classroom setting?
      Different cues lead to retrieval failure
    • What is the state-dependent effect related to memory?
      Memory retrieval is affected by mood states
    • How does mood affect memory retrieval?
      Mood affects memory retrieval through state dependency
    • Who conducted a study on deep-sea divers and memory?
      Baddeley and Godden conducted the study
    • What was the focus of Baddeley and Godden's study?
      Deep-sea divers' memory under different conditions
    • What did divers learn in the study by Baddeley and Godden?
      Divers learned a list of words either on land or underwater
    • What were divers asked to do after learning the words?
      Divers were asked to recall the words
    • What were the four conditions created in the study?
      Learning and recalling on land or underwater
    • What was the accuracy of recall in non-matching conditions?
      Recall was 40% lower in non-matching conditions
    • How did external cues affect learning and recall?
      External cues affected recall differently than internal cues
    • What percentage of recall was found in the study?
      23% recall was found in the study
