Draw from your knowledge of proactive and retroactive interference as well as of encoding specificity to generate a strategy that can help you remember several people's names at a party
What will be an ideal response?
Our cognitive contexts for memory clearly influence our memory processes of encoding, storing, and retrieving information. Studies of expertise also show how existing schemas (frameworks for representing knowledge) may provide a cognitive context for encoding, storing, and retrieving new information. By consciously developing a schema for remembering names, it would provide a cognitive context for names and make integration and organization relatively easy. Schemas fill in gaps when provided with partial or even distorted information and visualize concrete aspects of verbal information. They also can implement appropriate metacognitive strategies for organizing and rehearsing new information.

One of the issues with multilevel linear analysis is that it introduces dependency between the contextualized variables (e.g. the influence of different coaches on their athletes’ confidence), but what does this mean?
A. Residuals within the model will be correlated. B. The variables are from different cases and therefore make the model unstable. C. Independence of the different levels makes the analysis more prone to Type I error. D. The experimental nature of the research design implies that the contextualized variables will differ at each level of the model.
