Question 1 Report
Read the information below. A youth theatre group rehearses lines in the same studio each week. At the final performance, held in a different hall, several actors forget lines that they had recalled accurately during rehearsal.
(a) Identify the memory principle that this real-world situation suggests. [1]
(b) Explain why changing the hall may affect recall. [2]
(c) Evaluate one practical strength of rehearsing in the performance hall before the show. [3]
Answer Details
(a) Context-dependent memory / context-dependent forgetting [1] (b) Environmental cues present during learning in the studio can become linked to the lines [1]. The different hall lacks these retrieval cues, making recall less likely [1]. (c) Any three evaluative points: rehearsal in the hall provides matching contextual cues at learning and recall [1]; this may improve recall of lines / reduce forgetting during the performance [1]; it has practical value because it could improve confidence and performance quality [1].
