- Retrieval Failure
- Encoding Specifity Principle
- States that you will have better recall if you are given cues that are similar
- Tulving and Pearlstone
- Lacks ecological validity as the word list doesn't represent everyday life so we can't generalise the findings
- Easy to replicate due to scientific methods so it's reliable
- Pps had to remember 48 words with 12 categories. Cond 1- free recall 40% accurate. Cond 2- given categories 60% accurate
- Context Dependent Forgetting
- States that there will be better recall if you're in the same external environment
- Godden and Baddeley
- Mixture of recall and learning on land or underwater i.e learning information underwater and recalling it on land
- Lacks ecological validity as it's not an everyday task so is invalid
- State Dependent Forgetting
- You will have better recall of information if you are in the same internal state
- Goodwin et al.
- Male pps learned words sober or drunk and recalled them sober or drunk
- Recall was better in the same state
- Poor mundane realism as it's memorising word lists
- Male pps learned words sober or drunk and recalled them sober or drunk
- Evaluation
- Real word applications such as the cognitive interview
- Abundance of evidence to support with a wide variety of lab, field and natural so high reliability and validity
- Real life learning is more complicated as one cue can't trigger all of the memory
