A student learns the names of four fictional radio programmes, each paired with its short opening sound. The student recalls all four names immediately after learning them. The next day, the student is tested first without the sounds and then with each programme's opening sound.
| Test condition | Names recalled correctly |
|---|---|
| Without the opening sounds | 1 out of 4 |
| With the opening sounds | 3 out of 4 |
Explain what the results show about the names recalled after the sound cues, and explain whether a sound cue could restore a name if its memory trace had faded.
