Question

While studying for her final exam in an anatomy and physiology class, Fabienne tries to create a sentence where the first letter of each key term represents an important concept that she will need to know. Fabienne is using the retrieval cue of __________ to help her remember the key terms.

Answer 1

Mnemonics

Step-by-step explanation:

In psychology and memory, the term mnemonics are techniques that a person uses to help them remember some information. In other words, it's a technique you use to help you encode and recall information in a better way.

Some mnemonics include making a story, create a word with the first letter of a list of words you need to learn, etc.

In this example, Fabienne is creating a sentence where the first letter of each key term represents an important concept that she will need to know. We can see that she is using a technique that helps her encode and recall information (for the exam) in a better way. Thus, she is using the retrieval cue of mnemonics.
