ASU Learning Memory and Cognition Discussion
I’m working on a writing discussion question and need an explanation to help me learn.
Introduction & Instructions:
In your course readings for this module, you were introduced to the nature of human memory, including retrieval–the process of finding information previously stored in memory. In this activity, you will review one research study that was interested in testing effect and how full vs divided attention influences encoding and retrieval.
First, review the research article provided. Second, listen to the podcast further discussing the research.
