Question

Cues which act as stimuli in retrival of cert a in memory

Answer 1

hey dear

Memory is a remarkable capacity that humans possess. It enables people to function in everyday life. Just looking around, you encounter a tremendous amount of stimuli or objects that you are familiar with since before. However, everything is not remembered, some things are forgotten while others are recalled. At first sight, forgetting might seem negative but sometimes it can be welcomed. Recalling traumatic memories is not something we wish to do. Forgetting is an adaptive mechanism that enables us to function daily without constant irrelevant reminiscence. Remembering is an important and necessary part of our functioning, but so is forgetting as well. If something is remembered or forgotten depends on how it was encoded and which process of retrieval one employs. Cues that are encoded together with the target can better facilitate target retrieval than cues that are highly related to the target but only presented at recall (Goh & Lu. 2012; Ley & Huba, 1978). Cues that are not encoded together with the target are referred to as extra list cues and they only aid retrieval when participants are expecting free recall and not cued recall (Tulving & Thomson, 1973).
