Morris is trying to remember how to spell the word broccoli. He retrieves the first three letters (B R O) and the last three (O L I), then assumes that the kuh sound in the middle of the word must be a K. He writes brokoli on his paper.
Morris' process of remembering how to spell the word (in this case, incorrectly) illustrates the use of:
a. A script
b. A retrieval cue
c. Construction in retrieval
d. Verbal mediation

Considering the factors affecting retrieval of information from long-term memory, choose the strategy below that should maximize the likelihood that students will remember the different parts of speech over the long run.
