- RETRIEVAL FAILURE
- Forgetting occurs because the correct retrival cues are not available. information is in long term memory but can not be accesed
- information can not be acced because retrival cues are not present
- when we store information we also store info about situation and emotions, these can trigger memory
- external/internal
- TULVING argued that information would be more readily retrieved if the cues present when information was encoded were also present when its retrival is required
- BOWER manipulated the mood of his participants by hypnosis and showed clearkly how much the match or mismatch at the time of learing and recall had a strong effect on the accessibility of memories
- has not been repeated
- GODDEN AND BADDELY context dependecy. underwater and land retrival
- BADDELY found no such effect on recognition and concluded that this effect only applies to recall
- studies done in extreme conditions, not relevent to everyday, effecting ecological validity
- Forgetting occurs because the correct retrival cues are not available. information is in long term memory but can not be accesed
