Objective of the Study
The objective of the study was to investigate
whether memory cues facilitate the recall of
information.

Memory cue_AUH 5
Rationale (i.e. theoretical and practical
implications)
– Consult the studies on memory cues
– Improving memory

Hypothesis
1. Our first hypothesis was that participants
would correctly recall more when memory
cues were present than when they were
absent.

2. Our second hypothesis was that

participants would take less time to recall
when memory cues were present than
when they were absent.
