Q
Applications
A
It can support us because it shows how recall can be improved. For example, if we are learning something in a subject we can learn an acronym. In Maths BODMAS helps us to remember the steps involved in a calculation. Each letter acts as a trigger e.g. B = Brackets.
3
Q
Weaknesses
A
It does not explain that all cues are not equally as powerful. For example context dependent cues are not as helpful as meaningful ones.
