Question

Some suggest that students should study in a variety of places. This suggestion is based on research showing that people remember material better if they learned it in a number of different locations, compared to studying the same amount of time in one location. The suggestion solves a problem raised by

a. levels of processing.
b. the distributed practice effect.
c. the encoding specificity principle.
d. the spacing effect.

Answer 1

The answer is c. the encoding specificity principle.

Step-by-step explanation:

This principle attemps to explain how contextual cues affect memory. In other words, it states that memory is improved when there is more information to retrieve in the surroundings.

When students learn in different locations, they associate specific information with the place in which they studied, and it is less likely that they forget it.
