Document Summary
Does anxiety impair retrieval: the retrieval internal environment not matching with the encoding, experiment, people were grouped to high, medium or no test anxiety, gave free recall or mult. choice. Retrieval not so taxed because of cued recall: results, mult choice, no difference in anxiety. Free recall: showed lower levels of performance depending on level of anxiety, transfer- appropriate processing. The type of task during encoding and retrieval: matching task processing, gave them an incidental encoding task, one task, meaning based. Answer yes/no if it made sense: other. Answer yes/no if it made sense: final test was either rhyming or semantic test similar to what baddelely did. Picture of results: what does level of processing predict. The group that encoded with meaning will perform better. Standard condition proved this: but this theory says, there must be some transfer appropriate overlap to get the highest levels of retrieval. Other conditions proved this: retrieval improves retrieval.
