Emily is convinced she has test anxiety
Every time she gets to the test, she cannot remember what she studied. She goes to her professor to try to see what she can do about it. Her professor asks her how she studies for the exams. Emily reports that she reads the chapters and rereads her notes. After talking to her professor about her study habits, her professor—who specializes in memory—will likely say which of the following? a) "It sure seems like you are studying enough. Continue doing what you are doing and your grades will eventually get better." b) "Emily, it is clear that you are suffering from the decay theory of forgetting. You need to work on creating retrieval cues." c) "Emily, the good news is that you don't have test anxiety. You just are not studying in a way that helps you encode the information." d) "You probably do have test anxiety and should see a psychiatrist for medication."
