Question

Lourdes and Kim have been studying for two hours for their chemistry exam. Both students are tired of studying. Lourdes decides to watch a two-hour movie, while Kim decides to go to bed. What would you predict about their performance on the chemistry exam?

Answer 1

Kim will perform better because of reactivation

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because sleep is one of the best methods or ways in which the brain reactivates its memory. This will help Kim in the improvement of her retentive memory capacity.

However Lourdes watched a movie and learnt new things from the movie through sound and visualization. This would no doubt have an effect on the retentive memory capacity on the previous study for the exam he did.
