Question

Suppose that you study for your next examination in this course by reviewing each topic and asking how the information might be relevant to the career you want to pursue.

Your study technique makes use of:

a. the encoding-specificity principle.

b. the self-reference principle.

c. the Pollyanna Principle.

d. the shallow-rehearsal technique.

Answer 1

Answer: Your study technique makes use of the self-reference principle.

Explanation: The self reference principle is a process of refering or relating a connection or relation to oneself.

The reference may be expressed either directly through some intermediate sentence or formula or by means of some encoding.

The reference here is through an intermediate sentence in which the individual studies for their exam by relating the relevance of the examination to their career.
