    • evaluation - real life application

      theories like context cues improving recall have been used in the development of the cognitive interview
    • interference and cue theory may only explain temporary loss of info
      may not be true explanations of forgetting
    • interference only explains forgetting two similar info learnt at similar time
      struggles to explain day to day examples of forgetting e.g someone birthday
    • artificial studies of memory
      mundaen realism - not tasks that people would do in their everyday life
      artificial lab experiments - may not be the same in real life experinces
