Retrieval failure- Forgetting

Question 1

Retrieval failure

Answer 1

An explanation of forgetting about triggers and cues

Question 2

Lack of cues causes ________ and why

Answer 2

Retrieval failure-
When information is initially placed in memoey, associated cues are stored at the same time, if said cues aren’t available then memory or information may not be accessible

Question 3

What type of retrieval failure did Godden and Baddeley research

Answer 3

Context dependant forgetting

Question 4

What type of retrieval failure did Carter and Cassaday research

Answer 4

State-Dependant forgetting

Question 5

How many conditions where in both Carter and Cassaday’s Research and Godden and Baddeley’s research?

Answer 5

4

Question 6

What was the procedure of Godden and Baddeley’s experiment

Answer 6

Deep sea divers learnes word lists, some learned underwater and them learned on land. Then Some of the underwater learners recalled on land and some recalled underwater and some of the land learners recalled and underwater and some recalled on land

Question 7

What was the procedure of Carter and Cassidy

Answer 7

Participants learned list of words and later recalled them. Condition 1: Learned drugs, recalled drugs
Condition 2: Learned drugs
Recall not on drugs
Condition 3 Learned not on drugs, recalled on drugs
Condition 4
Learned not on drugs and recalled not on drugs

Question 8

Finding’s for Godden and Baddeley’s research (1975) on retrieval failure. And Conclusion

Answer 8

Accurate recall was 32% lower in conditions 2 and 3 (Mis-matched contexts) than in 1 and 4 (Matched contexts.

Retrieval Failure was due to absence of encoded context cues at time of recall so material was not accessible

Question 9

Findings and Conlusion of Carter and Cassaday’s research (1998) into Retrieval failure

Answer 9

Recall was significantly worse in conditions 2 and 3 (Mismatched cues compared with conditions 1 and 3 (matched cues)

When the cues at encoding are absent at retrieval, then there is more forgetting
