Methods of Retrieval Flashcards
Name the 4 methods of Retrieval
recall, recognition, relearning , reconstruction
Define ‘sensitivity’
how effective each method is in retrieving information
Which method of retrieval identifies correct info among alternatives?
give an example
Recognition.
multiple choice questions
What is the method of ‘Recall?’
reproducing info with fewest possible cues/prompts
What is the “most sensitive” method of retrieval mean?
easiest to retrieve
Is recall or recognition more sensitive?
recognition
Which method of retrieval is the LEAST sensitive?
Recall
List the three types of Recall
- Free recall
- serial recall
- cued recall
Explain Free recall
recalling as much as possible with minimal cues and in ANY order
What is Serial Recall?
recalling info in the ORDER of which is presented
What is cued recall?
recalling with prompts/cues provided to assist retrieval in ANY order
Eg. I asked Tony to recall the last 3 primeministers of Australia in order.
Which method is this?
Serial Recall
What does the method of Relearning mean?
learning something again thats been previously commited to memory.
Usually easier and quicker the 2nd time
What is the formula to the Savings Score of relearning?
T1-T2/T1 x100
What does Savings Score measure?
the percentage of information retained from original learning
