Cue Dependency Description
- When cues are present at
encoding are not present at
retrieval then forgetting may
occur
- Cues are like additional pieces of
information that guide us to the information
we are seeking a bit like the contents page
of a book
- These memory cues may be
necessary to access
information that is available
but not accessible
- There are two types of cues
- Context cues, which are
environmental cues
such as your classroom
- e.g. when someone goes upstairs to get
something and forget what it is they may
remember again when they back in the
place they first thought about it
- State cues, which are internal
to the person such as being
excited or afraid
- e.g. if you learn something when in a
relaxed mood but cannot recall it when in a
tense mood
- e.g. if you learn something when in a
