dr. rogers meets one of his students at a local shopping mall and he cannot recall her name. however, when he sees her in class the next monday morning, he immediately recalls that her name is juanita. which theory of forgetting best explains dr. roger’s memory lapse?

Cue depending theory

Explanation:

The cue-depending forgetting theory states that people tend to fail to recall memories without memory cues which can be:

semantic (same category group of words), state dependent (depending on the state of mind we had when we acquired the information) or context dependent (depending on the context where we usually perceive the information)

In this example, Dr. Rogers can not recall the name of her student when he sees her at the mall but when he sees her in class he immediately recalls her name. This is a cue-depending forgetting where the cue was dependent on the context (classroom), this theory would explain why outside of the classroom he couldn't remember her name.
