Retrieval Processes
Psychology ⇒ Learning and Memory
Retrieval Processes starts at 10 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Retrieval Processes.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 10
A student is unable to remember a fact during an exam but recalls it later when relaxed. What retrieval process does this illustrate?
A student remembers more information when sitting in the same seat during the test as during the lessons. What is this an example of?
A student studies for a test in a noisy environment and finds it easier to recall information during the test when the room is also noisy. What is this an example of?
Describe the difference between context-dependent and state-dependent memory.
Describe the role of retrieval cues in memory.

Which of the following best describes the encoding specificity principle? (1) Memory is best when the context at encoding and retrieval are the same (2) Memory is best when information is repeated (3) Memory is best when learned in groups (4) Memory is best when tested immediately
Which of the following best describes the tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon? (1) Complete forgetting (2) Partial retrieval failure (3) Recognition error (4) Encoding failure
Which of the following best illustrates context-dependent memory? (1) Remembering a fact while in the same classroom where you learned it (2) Forgetting a phone number (3) Learning a new skill (4) Daydreaming during class
Which of the following is an example of a retrieval cue? (1) A familiar smell (2) Forgetting a name (3) Learning a new language (4) Daydreaming
Fill in the blank: __________ interference occurs when old information makes it harder to remember new information.
Fill in the blank: The __________ effect refers to better recall for items at the beginning of a list.
Fill in the blank: The __________ effect refers to better recall for items at the end of a list.
Fill in the blank: The __________ effect refers to the improved recall of information at the beginning and end of a list.
True or False: Context-dependent memory suggests that retrieval is easier when the context at retrieval matches the context at encoding.
True or False: Recognition is generally easier than recall.
True or False: Recognition tasks are used in multiple-choice tests.
True or False: Relearning is a retrieval process that measures how much faster information is learned the second time.
