Two students took a memory test. Twenty nouns were shown sequentially on a TV monitor. Mallory tried to think of rhymes for each word as it appeared on the monitor. Bailey tried to think of ways each word could be used in a sentence. Based on Craik and Lockhart’s levels-of-processing theory, what should you predict?
Mallory will have better recall of the words because she used semantic encoding
both students should have equivalent recall of the words
Bailey will have better recall of the words because she used semantic encoding
Bailey will have poorer recall of the words because she used structural recall
why was the interference theory made?
for explaining the forgetting in LTM.
because of psychologists curiosity only
