One weakness of Bartlett’s study is that it lacks ____. For example, he did not tell the participants that ____ recall was important. Other studies have found that recall is ____ when participants are told this. This shows that recall is more accurate than Bartlett suggested. Another weakness is that Bartlett’s own ____ may have affected the results. Because he analysed the participants’ responses himself, his belief that recall would be affected by cultural ____ might have ____ his interpretation of the results. This means that we cannot fully trust Bartlett’s conclusions. A final weakness is that the War of the ____ was an unusual story. Because it was so unfamiliar, recall of the story may not reflect ____ memory processes as these would not be affected by cultural expectations. This suggests that Bartlett’s study tells us little about everyday memory.
