What are some limitations of the retrieval failure theory of forgetting?

(chapter 7)
Some people still can't access information even though they have all the necessary cues to aid retrieval.

^ That's what I wrote on my exam for unit 4 and it got full marks, it was something I never read in the textbook as such but I just used my knowledge of the theory and then deduced a relevant criticism in the exam. I know a lot of people couldn't answer this because they'd just learnt the straight textbook definition of the retrieval failure theory and didn't really fully understand the concept and so were unable to think of a limitation. There will be a full list though in the assessor's report, but you'll need to wait a bit before it's released.

I'd say it's RIGHT too. I guess when they wrote the answers they probably confused themselves cos at the end it says "analytic, sequential way" so they just wrote LEFT, and forgot to see the "rather then"... Typical commercial companies. Always making mistakes :P Hopefully my exams won't have a single error! :)

It was actually a textbook question. Sigh.

Anyways, as said b4: I'm disappointed with Grivas et al - Slumdawg should write the textbook ;)

So daydreaming is definitely involuntary? I can voluntarily daydream...or is that just 'forced thinking'.

Yeah I'd say that's just thinking.

Remember, daydreaming is more likely to occur when stationary and when doing monotonous tedious tasks.

When you daydream have you intentionally thought "okay I'm gonna daydream now" or did it just happen on it's own? .....

Case closed  8-)

Sorryy I'm soooo lost and need a bit of help :)

You want to test short term memory capacity in preschool children, teenagers, and peoples aged over 65 years.
a) Define your population
b) How could you obtain a random sample from each of these populations?
[can we say something like lottery procedure? loool im so lost]

Give an example of an instruction to participants and one or more experimental procedures that would be considered to be non-standardised.

Suggest a way in which the following concepts could be operationalised: forgetting, anxiety, aggression, crowding, relaxation, stress

Explain why the following research study would be likely to have sample bias: A survey in binge-drinking behaviour in a popular teenage magazine

so many silly questions i know  :-\ But thanks in advance! :)
