The population was DEFINITELY not clear. I don't think it was completely correct to assume it was first year uni students as they were only the sample.. It just said "people" so that's all I used in the operational hypothesis. I doubt they'd take off marks because it wasn't clear to begin with. Don't stress guys This exams seems to be harder and harder each time I think about it haha.

For a criticism of retrieval failure theory, is it right if i wrote:

It does not explain permanent memory loss, like memories of upto around 30 minutes before a brain injury cannot not be remembered even if different retrieval cues have been tried...

[daisytoop21]

for the criticism i wrote that its because memories arent technically forgotten they only appear to be but it can be retrieved using the correct cues
but from the sounds of everyones elses answers i did very poooooorly

[sillysmile]

the limitation of retrieval failure could be despite appropriate cues present, information is not always recalled? Like in repressed memory situations?

1. d) I talked about how it was to do with decay theory, defined it and related it to the scenario blah blah and said something... can't remember exactly... something about how it could not be concluded to be as a result of old age as it is just from disuse or some shit =/
I think I made it a lot more complicated than it had to be!
Lost about 6 marks from things being wrong I think... possibly a few more on wording =/

Q1a SA is semantic memory i reckon... Names are not stored in episodic memory, episodic memories are autobiographical, subjective and is an event. the names of classmates recalled will not differ between people no matter any experiences formed between that person
