In a classic study by Thomson and Tulving (1970), participants encoded a series of weakly related word pairs (e.g., glue-chair).

Later, they were tested via cued recall; they were to recall the right-hand member of each pair (chair, in the present example), given either the weakly related word, or a very strong associate (e.g., table). What happened in this study?
a) Strong associates were better cues than the originally encoded weak associates.
b) Originally encoded weak associates were better cues than the strong associates.
c) The originally encoded weak associates and the strong associates were equally effective.
d) Having no cue at all led to the highest levels of recall.

Question 2

The testing effect most likely is most clearly related to this general memory framework:

a) material-appropriate processing
b) transfer-appropriate processing
c) levels-of-processing
d) the distinction between episodic and semantic memory
