- What about people who kept in touch with friends from high school?
- Or looked through their yearbook after graduation
- They may have had the opportunity to rehearse the information more than someone who hadn’t looked at it or spoken to any one since.
- strengths
- Definitely is a real life task, so very valid
- method
- 392 participants aged 17-74
- Used high school yearbook photos
- 1) photo recognition task – p’s provided with photos (some that they had gone to school with, but not all) & asked to identify who they had gone to school with
- 90% accurate within 15 years 70% accurate within 48 years
- 2) free recall – no pictures, just asked to give names of fellow students.
- 60% accurate within 15 years. 30% accurate within 48 years
