A Participant Is Asked to Memorize a Series of Word

question 36

Multiple Choice

A participant is asked to memorize a series of word pairs, including the pair "heavy-light." The participant is asked later if any of the following words had been included in the list memorized earlier: "lamp," "candle," "spark," and "light." The participant denies having seen any of these words recently. This is probably because

• A) the learning context does not provide adequate support for perceptual encoding.
• B) the learning context does relatively little to encourage deep processing.
• C) what was memorized was the idea of "light" as a description of weight, not "light" as illumination.
• D) the learning context led the participant to think in terms of opposites, while the test context led the participant to think in terms of semantic associates.
