Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recalling information chronologically as it was given in lecture might not be the least helpful strategy for recalling specific psychology theories, theorists, and terms during a test. Strategies like remembering partial cues, saying or writing down everything related, or going through the alphabet are more direct methods of cueing memory recall for specific pieces of information. Chronological recall could be less efficient and might not directly aid in retrieving specific terms or names unless the chronological order itself is a crucial part of the information being tested.
