Describe cue-dependent forgetting.
What will be an ideal response?
Cue-dependent forgetting is retrieval failure caused by a lack of effective retrieval cues. The notion of cue-dependent forgetting can explain why a student might fail to retrieve a needed fact for an exam even when he is sure he "knows" the information. For example, if one is studying for a test in this course and is asked a question about a distinction between recall and recognition in retrieval, one would likely remember the distinction better if one possesses the cues "fill-in-the-blank" and "multiple-choice," respectively.
