Research on memory processes shows us that upon being tested on a word list just learned, the majority of people will recall the words at the end of the list at a higher rate than the words in the middle of the list. This recency effect can be eliminated by involving the participants in a task that prohibits them from rehearsing the words. Using this principal, before Dr. Brown gives an exam, she asks that all books and notes be put away and then takes time to prevent the last minute cramming from being effective by giving the instructions for the exam, the grading procedures, and next week's lesson before allowing students to begin the exam. In this case, Dr. Brown is:

A. tempting students to cheat on the exam. B. relying on students' short-term memory to help them out. C. applying basic research principles in her course. D. collecting applied research data in her class
