The emergency services personnel initially read about the procedures to be used in a large-scale disaster.To complete the learning process, they took part in a mock disaster and rescued and treated "victims" as they would in a real disaster.This approach is based on the principle of:
A)reconstructive remembering
B)transfer-appropriate processing
C)proactive interference
D)cue-dependent forgetting

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The approach described is based on the principle of transfer-appropriate processing, where learning is most effective when the method of learning matches the method of testing or application. In this case, the emergency services personnel learned and practiced the procedures in a simulated scenario that closely resembled a real disaster, which would allow for effective transfer of learning to the actual situation. Option A, reconstructive remembering, refers to the process of recalling past events and reconstructing them based on current knowledge and experiences. Option C, proactive interference, refers to the difficulty in learning new information due to previously learned information interfering with the process. Option D, cue-dependent forgetting, is when recall is improved by providing retrieval cues that were present during encoding. None of these options accurately reflect the principle behind the described approach.
