Question

Two students in the same class take a test. One student earns an “A” while the other earns an “F” even though they were in class equal amounts of time. Use the three stages of memory (sensory, short-term, long-term) to explain how this scenario can happen? (HINT: What did the “A” student do that the “F” student did not)

Answer 1

Answer:

Your answer is: One student earns an "A" while the other student earns an "F". The first reason why the student that got a "A" got that grade is because they used 2 out of the 3 stages of memory. The first one that student used was sensory. Sensory is like another word for sight. So therefore he/she actually took the time to read maybe notes, or flashcards to help them when the test actually came. Teachers always give a test right after they finished teaching the unit to you. So, the student had to have Long-term memory as well. He/she had to have great memory to, to be able to reuse it for the test.

The student that had got a "F" had to only have short-term memory, because that student was probably only pay attention just for the time being. But, when the test actually came around they just probably didn't remember the answers to the questions.

Hope this helped : )

Answer 2

Answer:

F student might have long-term memory loss. It seems that even if they were in class for the same amount of time the 'F' Student forgot about some of the things they learned.
