Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mäntylä's research found that having multiple retrieval cues that are self-generated, such as creating associations or connections to the information being learned, is the most effective way to improve recall memory. This is because the brain has more pathways to access the information, increasing the likelihood of successful retrieval. A single vivid retrieval cue may be helpful, but it is not as effective as having multiple cues. Cued recall and priming tasks rely on external cues, which may not be as effective as self-generated cues.
