A psychology experiment found that participants remembered a list of words better when they generated their own examples for each word rather than simply rereading definitions. the researchers argue that the act of elaboration creates more retrieval cues, making the information easier to access later.
- Accordingly (correct answer)
- Conversely
- Additionally
- Even so
Explanation: The logical relationship is explanation or logical consequence. The first sentence presents an experimental finding (better memory when generating examples), and the second sentence explains why this happens (elaboration creates more retrieval cues). The phrase "the researchers argue that" introduces their explanation for the observed phenomenon. Choice A "Accordingly" correctly indicates this explanatory relationship where the second sentence logically follows from and explains the first. Choice B "Conversely" would wrongly suggest contrast, and Choice C "Additionally" would incorrectly add new information rather than explain existing information. Look for explanatory phrases like "argue that" or "suggest that" following findings - they signal cause-and-effect relationships.
