Question

The researchers change the procedure such that instead of placing the objects in a box, the participants have to recall all the objects that they have seen during training. According to the spreading of activation theory, which type of memory error is most likely?
A.Making source monitoring errors regarding the location of the training objectsB.Poorer memory for the training objects seen at the later points in the experimentC.Selective forgetting of the training objects that were placed in the center of the boxD.Recalling objects that were not presented but are from the same category as the training objects

Answer 1

Answer:

D.Recalling objects that were not presented but are from the same category as the training objects

Explanation:

Spreading activation  is a model of short-term or working memory  that demonstrates how mental processes associate thoughts, particularly semantic or verbal concepts. Thus, when tested on their memory for presented concepts from a category, an idea is triggered and objects that have not been presented are recalled.
