Four students are storing this fact: "europeans first settled at st. augustine, florida, in 1565." which student is probably going to have the most difficult time retrieving the information from long-term memory a few days later?

Respuesta :

The student who is probably going to have the most difficult time retrieving the information from long-term memory a few days later would be: “Alexander who repeats the fact to himself 10 times in a row.”  

Aside from Alexander, all other students are using visual representation or other facts to help them remember the original fact.  The method of memorization Alexander doing is very prone to be overlooked since he is storing it word by word rather than trying to associate it with other easier things to remember.
