Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transfer-appropriate processing occurs when the type of encoding task matches the type of retrieval task. This means that the processing of the information during encoding should be relevant and applicable to the way in which the information will be retrieved later on. This is more likely to lead to successful retrieval than when there is a mismatch between the encoding and retrieval tasks. The other options listed may be helpful for memory retention, but they do not specifically relate to transfer-appropriate processing.
