Document Summary
So far : memory seems better when the test context, does this mean you should study in the room where you"ll be tested, it helps to study in the room where you will later be tested. ______baveresco________ agreed with this: saufley, otaka, and bavaresco (1985): looked at test grades over several years at uc-berkley, student randomly chosen to take exams in same or different classroom, results, same room = different room = Part 1 y/n: y, n, x, y, y. Uniqueness of cues: moscovitch & craik (1976): ss study 60 words; given a question for each, manipulated level of processing: Sentence: cue overload hypothesis: the more memories associated with a cue, the poorer that cue becomes, example: csu employee not a great cue, the best cues uniquely specify the memory. When we learn anything, we are also encoding context the surrounding environment and our own state: this context can become a retrieval cue.
