Briefly describe the study presented in the video, which investigated memory of words after watching a short dental-related video clip. How do the findings from the study relate to the theories of memory discussed in Chapter 11?
What will be an ideal response?
The researcher divided participants into two groups. Both groups were first presented with a list of words and then shown a brief dental video. One group watched a video of tooth brushing, while the other group watched a dental surgery video. Twenty-four hours later, participants in the second group remembered more of the words they had seen. The findings suggest that encoding of semantic memory (words) in long-term memory can be improved by creating an emotional experience during the encoding process. The emotional experience also appears to improve retrieval of those words 24 hours later.
