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 11
Describe how interference can affect retrieval processes.
Describe how the encoding specificity principle can be applied to improve exam performance.
Describe the recency effect in memory retrieval.
Describe the tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon and its relation to retrieval.
Explain how mood-congruent memory affects retrieval.
A person is unable to remember a friend's new phone number because they keep recalling the old one. What type of interference is this? (1) Proactive interference (2) Retroactive interference (3) Contextual interference (4) Serial interference
A student finds it easier to remember information when they are in the same mood as when they studied. What is this an example of? (1) State-dependent memory (2) Mood-congruent memory (3) Context-dependent memory (4) Serial position effect
A student remembers more information when taking a test in the same classroom where they learned the material. Which retrieval process is this an example of? (1) State-dependent memory (2) Context-dependent memory (3) Serial position effect (4) Relearning

Fill in the blank: ________ cues are hints or prompts that help us recall information stored in memory.
Fill in the blank: ________ memory refers to the ability to recall information without any cues.
Fill in the blank: ________ recall is when a person is given a cue to help retrieve information from memory.
Fill in the blank: The ________ effect is the tendency to recall the last items in a list more easily.
True or False: Recognition is generally easier than recall.
True or False: Relearning is a retrieval process that measures how much faster information is learned the second time.
True or False: Retrieval cues are only effective if they are exactly the same as the original encoding cues.
True or False: Retrieval cues can be both internal and external.
