Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Benjamin suggests that contextual details can serve as retrieval cues, meaning that they can help older adults remember events more easily. Option B (specific details with semantic cues) is incorrect because semantic cues refer to general knowledge and concepts, not specific details. Option C (contextual details with semantic cues) is incorrect because semantic cues still do not provide the specific details that Benjamin is referring to. Option D (specific details with retrieval cues) is partially correct, as retrieval cues can certainly help memory, but the missing piece is the importance of contextual details for this population.
