5 True/False Questions

1. Encoding specificity principle → retrieval of information is improved when conditions of recovery are similar to the conditions when information was encoded

   True        False

2. Motivated forgetting → Dentist..something you're unwilling to remember

   True        False

3. Retrieval cue → clue or prompt that helps stimulate recall or retrieval of a stored piece of information from long-term memory

   True        False

4. Short-term memory (STM) → second memory stage that temporarily stores sensory information and decides whether to send it on to long-term memory (LTM); capacity is limited to five to nine items and duration is about 20 seconds

   True        False

5. Encoding failure → Fail to give memory a name or a cue

   True        False
