Retrieval failure- forgetting

    Cards (2)

    • What is retrieval failure due to absence of cues
      Retrieval failure occurs when we cannot access a memory that is actually stored in long-term memory because the cues needed to trigger the memory are missing. This means the information is available but not accessible without the right cues.
    • What is context-dependent forgetting?
      occur when the environment during recall is different from the environment you were in when you were learning.
