Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is B) Jennifer’s tests have poorer retrieval cues than Stacey’s tests.

Explanation:

Retrieval stimuli can be described as stimuli which help in retrieving of a person's memory. Retrieval Cues makes it easier for a person to recall a memory. When we make a new memory, some information is added to the brain which triggers to access the memory.

Stacey's end of the test contains MCQ's. The MCQ's make it easier to recall memories as compared to essay questions. Hence, option B is correct.
