Overview These labs explore the nature of long-term memory, including how to best harness it (the Encoding Specificity and Levels of Processing labs). However, the very tendencies that make it success
Complete this template by replacing the bracketed text with the relevant information. All responses to lab questions should be in your own words or paraphrased.
Insert your data in the table below.
*Strong and Weak refer to the extent to which cue and target are related in meaning. Weak/Weak and Strong/Strong designate conditions where the cues, used at study and test, were the same. Weak/Strong and Strong/Weak designate conditions where the cues, used at study and test, were different.

Do your results support the encoding specificity hypothesis? Why or why not? Note: Consider what led to the best results—having strong semantic associations between cue and target, or matching cues at encoding and test?

Describe a real or hypothetical example of a situation that demonstrates encoding specificity. Ensure that your example is original and not from course materials.

How did this study set participants up to experience false memory? Deese, Roediger, and McDermott also found people can be confident in their selection of the false memory item. Why do you think that is? Your answer will be graded based on the depth of your thinking.
