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 12
Describe how context-dependent cues can aid in retrieval.
Describe how retrieval failure can lead to forgetting.
Describe the difference between recall and recognition.
Describe the process of free recall and provide an example.
A person is able to recall more information when they are in the same mood as when they learned it. What is this called? (1) Context-dependent memory (2) State-dependent memory (3) Serial position effect (4) Priming
A student is unable to remember the name of a historical figure during an exam but recalls it later when talking to a friend. Which retrieval process does this illustrate? (1) Recognition (2) Relearning (3) Delayed recall (4) Immediate recall
A student remembers more words from the end of a list than the middle. What is this phenomenon called? (1) Primacy effect (2) Recency effect (3) Serial position effect (4) Context effect
A student studies for a test in a noisy environment and performs better on the test when it is also noisy. Which retrieval concept does this illustrate? (1) State-dependent memory (2) Context-dependent memory (3) Serial position effect (4) Priming

Fill in the blank: ________ cues are hints or prompts that help us recall information from memory.
Fill in the blank: ________ interference occurs when old information hinders the recall of newly learned information.
Fill in the blank: ________ is the process of accessing information from memory without the aid of cues.
Fill in the blank: ________ memory retrieval involves identifying previously learned information from a set of options.
True or False: Context-dependent memory suggests that retrieval is more effective when it occurs in the same environment as encoding.
True or False: Priming is a retrieval process where exposure to one stimulus influences the response to another stimulus.
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 a second time.
