Although you genuinely enjoyed studying hard for a biology exam, during the test you are feeling frustrated and irritable becaus
e you can't recall the answer to a series of fairly easy factual questions. What techniques could you use to effectively remember the information previously learned?
One way that effectively helps is to recreate some conditions. For example, use the same pen, or chew the same flavor of gum. This will help you recall more information because it brings you back to the memory when you were studying the answers.
Explanation:
You could have had trouble answering these questions because of an encoding or retreival failure (failure to remember because there weren't enough cues to trigger your memory). You may have had an encoding failure because while you were distracted while you were studying. (Dividing your attention and trying to multi-task is the most common cause of encoding failure).
