Criterion 4 - analyse theories about remembering Criterion 7 - use evidence to support a psychological point of view Question 3: Forgetting Examine the following stimuli: Stimulus 1 Syllable recall Jenkins and Dallenbach (1924): Participants learnt a list of ten nonsense syllables. Some of them went to sleep immediately, while others continued with their normal activities. After intervals of one, two, four or eight hours, all participants were tested for their recall of the syllables Stimulus 2 Language as a memory cue In a memory retrieval experiment, bilingual Russian American college students were asked to relate memories that came to mind after hearing prompt words (Marian & Neisser,2000) They were queried about four different stages of their lives. One part of the interview was conducted in English, and the other part was conducted in Russian. Participants were able to recall more events that took place in Russia when interviewed in Russia (5 more on average) than in English, whereas they were able to recall more events that took place in United States when interviewed in English than in Russian. Like other forms of cues that are known to influence remembering, such as our moods or the external environment, this study shows that language can serve as a contextual cue that plays a significant role in determining what will be remembered.
