Discussion
Given below are two statements : Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Indicate your answer using the following codes :
Assertion (A) : Encoding specificity states that a retrieval cue is successful only if it is present at the time of encoding.
Reason (R) : When participants are given category names as retrieval it enables the participant of the experiment to remember which were previously presented to them to remember.
Codes :
Answer: B
Both statements are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). Encoding specificity says a retrieval cue works only if information about it was encoded at the time of learning, and presenting category names as cues helps recall of the words earlier presented.
The reason describes one experimental result, but it does not explain why a cue must be encoded; the principle states it. So the second option is correct, not the one with the explanation.
