PrepTest 130 - Section 1 - Question 2

Show summary

Psychologist: The best way to recall a certain word or name that one is having trouble remembering is to occupy one's mind with other things, since often the more we strive to remember a certain word or name that we can't think of, the less likely it becomes that the word will come to mind.

Method of Reasoning

The argument appeals to the principle that one should avoid focusing too directly on a mental objective because doing so is ultimately counterproductive. It concludes that the best way to remember a word is to instead focus on something else, because thinking too hard about remembering the word counterintuitively makes it less likely to be recalled.
